too much caffeine in my system...

So I stumbled on this article about Nabokov's son trying to decide whether to fulfill this wishes of his father in his will regarding his unfinished manuscript.

And while in a way, I understand why literary scholars wouldn't want it destroyed, as a writer (nowhere near on those levels, admittedly) it upsets me that the author's wishes have been ignored for so long. They're called "unfinished manuscripts" for a reason - it's not up to par with the writing of a final draft. And I can't speak for other writers out there, but there are are only a select few that see my drafts of stories/screenplays before they're in the final draft stage.

And if the man's wishes were to have it destroyed, accept it and do as he asked. It was his work, and it was apparently something he didn't want shared the way it was.

So I wonder - am I thinking too much like a writer, focusing too much on how I would feel in the same situation? What about others out there? What do you think about something like this?

I think it's time for a reread of book six of Harry Potter. I read it twice when it first came out, but it's been awhile. Though I must decide if I want to start with book one, like I usually do, or just read book six. The thing is, I'm still not a huge fan of book five, but I wouldn't want to just skip over it if I'm reading the whole series again.

Oh decisions!

I started to work on my SESA story last night, only to realize...it's been so long since I written for my boys - do I remember how? No wonder I haven't finished Trouble In My Head, since I can't seem to get a grasp on Justin's voice anymore. Ack! It's a good thing I started this one early, I guess. This way I can get the crap out of the way now and hopefully produce something wonderful for my recipient.

yuletide is going a bit easier at the moment - am enjoying my *research* for the story. However, I worry when a story comes too easily - sometimes that means it's not that good. (although once in a blue moon a story does write itself for me - I'm hoping that's the case here).

Okay, off to read the friends list and see if I can accomplish something with my day.

Ciao.
