She liked to make me jump

The trailer for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen contains a warning of 'moderate violence and horror'. What the hell is moderate horror? People jumping out from behind sofas shouting 'Boo!'? Raised voices?

She liked to break the rules

In between bouts of sneezing, I scribble the title in big letters in the blank space at the top of the first page. It looks quite good and I remind myself that I am supposed to be writing, not drawing, tonight. My housemates spot it -- I'm pretty sure they've not otherwise looked at the murdered manuscript I've left lying around the lounge this past week -- and the word Curiosity becomes the joke of the evening, the answer to any question posed. I try to ignore them and get on with the revision.

The revision is nearly complete, and I hope that I can get it finished -- and the changes typed up -- before the end of the week. It's time I either let somebody review this story, or just send it out. It's been too long in the making.
