very long-distance relationship

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2006.03.04

It's funny, maintaining a relationship with someone on the other side of the Pacific. We'd only dated a few times before I was booted from her country but we're doing quite well online.

It's also refreshing being in a relationship that's not fraught with baggage. I almost don't know how to behave without having to indulge a neurotic partner in "down days" and self-destructive behavior of every kind. I guess in this circumstance I'm clearly the unstable one. Dang.

The way you write science fiction is: you sit down at your writing machine and you open your mind to the first thought that comes through. My first thought was always a cigarette.
