See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Eeek. I remember reading a book about the (Western) discovery of the coelecanth and the piecing together of its enormous significance when I was a kid -- it may even have been a pre-crapping-out-Scholastic book. I probably read that book twenty times in the fifth grade; a detective story, with scientists and Asian marketplaces and a dinosaur fish -- it had every thrilling thing I wanted out of a book, except for the sad lack of swordfights, archery contests and talking lions.
Please, please, someone, the universe or the Universe or someone, be smarter than us and please let us not add the coelecanth to the painfully long list of spectacularly cool and improbable things we've stumbled on and then fucked up.

Punishingly Intricate
Write the shit out of that thing, Allyson!!! And I concur with the calling out sick. Everybody gets sick after being on vacation, right? From the bad airplane air?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

New SciFi Channel Saturday night movie - Coelemanth! A genetically-engineered combination of human/coelecanth DNA. It swordfights Mansquito.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I read that coelecanth book. In fourth grade. In your face, Reading Wife!
Allyson, it's probably okay if you don't have the completed manuscript completely done in two days. It's not going to press, you know? They just want to see what the book would look like.
I mean, you should try and finish as much as you can, but finishing a whole book in two days is not going to allow you to polish your prose much. It's better to turn in Most Of A Book that's well written.
Trust me, publishers are always dealing with late writers. If they're not waiting for it at the printer, you've always got a little leeway.
