Time Keeps On Slippin'

Taking a while, as I am, to finish your magnum opus? Just read this post about the relative old age of debut novelists (compared with musicians and actors) and you will immediately feel much better. Writing something that holds together takes time. (Yeah.) And life getting in the way makes it even slower. (Yeah.) What are you, ignirint?*

*Refer to the Akroyd-Murphy vehicle Trading Places, which, come to think of it, has uncanny resonance in these days of economic downfall.
