replacing on addiction with another

So there I was, no longer a slave to the tobacco corporations, free from the addiction that dictated much of my day.

Then I had the bright idea about starting a daily serial, and I'm planning my life around writing enough to post... and popping onto the sight umpteen times a day to see if anyone's left a comment. I've even taken a couple of holidays today and tomorrow, so I can write Stevie's progress up to the end of her first week.

OK it's not entirely obsessive, my assistant K, is going home to India for a fortnight's holiday, which means I'll actually have to do some real work, and not sit there daydreaming all day. So, two more of Stevie's days to get down, and then a short break to write the second part of my 'Merrimount Abbey' story (it's plotted, just needs getting down on paper), and if I'm still standing, back to the eighth floor.
