Only a mother could love

Thanks to matociquala for International embarass yourself as an artist day. Many people on my friends list have chimed in, so with the example of their bravery before me, I'll add to the pollution of the blogsphere.

My early juvenilia is written in notebooks, and the somewhat later offerings (in .TXT files) are on a floppy disk but I no longer have a working computer than can read a floppy disk. Ooops.

So I dug up this treasure, which isn't quite juvenilia, but is definitely bad, and dates to my pre-published days. I can't tell the exact date, but it's from the days when Lotus AmiPro was considered a pretty spiffy wordprocessor.

*Face-palm* Yes, I wrote a scene that included the "Space Patrol"! I hope I was trying for irony, but sadly suspect I was being serious.
