Excellent.

Do you plan to send it anywhere?

Not at this moment.

I've had a backslide into sloth so now its mostly focused on reading, writing and gaming regularly so I get something done as opposed to just being lazy and do nothing.

This is mostly short stories and flash fiction to get the writing habit back and build discipline.

Its about two friends, one hedonist and one Epicure, enjoying their shared company and discussing how to best enjoy the good in life.

That's an interesting pairing, I'd be so interested in hearing how their conversations would go!

Then I shall indulge you with an overview of how it went in my story.

The discussion went that, in the company of good food and drink, the hedonist argues for the greatest possible pleasure in the moment while the Epicure argues for pleasure in the moment but not at the cost of pain tomorrow.

Thus the gist of it is that hedonist argues for seeking maximum pleasure at every opportunity also at a cost tomorrow but the Epicure argues that, using the example of food and drink, one should enjoy it now but not to the cost of pain tomorrow like harming one's health and economy in the long run for the pleasure in the now.

You can probably see in which direction I personally lean.

Following the rule to write something, almost anything, every day I'm working on "End of the Rail" which is about two women on a farm talking about a new railway which goes past their farm and home.

This sounds like it would be quite the philosophical conversation with some gist sewn into it. I think they are a great combo put together!
