I was hoping to make some progress on that this weekend, but that didn&#8217;t pan out.  Neither did the 55-mile bike ride I was planning on doing.  (It&#8217;s hard to do stuff in the morning if you don&#8217;t wake up in the morning.)  I got distracted by Jean Yang&#8217;s blog post &#8220;<a href='http://jxyzabc.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-genius-fallacy.html'>The Genius Fallacy</a>&#8220;, and felt like I ought to respond in some way to it (or to the things it reminded me of), but in the end I couldn&#8217;t figure out what actual point I wanted to make, so that didn&#8217;t happen either.  (That&#8217;s how most of my projects founder, to be honest: they start with an idea, or more often a snipped of imagined dialogue, but don&#8217;t manage to develop enough to actually be worth sitting down at the keyboard and turning into writing.)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the other stuff on my agenda:</p>
<ul>
<li>A short write-up on a brownie recipe I didn&#8217;t much care for</li>
<li>An essay on some questions related to gender inspired a bit by the Worldcon 75 program</li>
<li>A few photo collections from a day and a half of post-Worldcon walking around Helsinki</li>
<li>Another recipe write-up on some chocolate-chip cookies I haven&#8217;t actually made yet</li>
</ul>
