A day's work nets me 1,500 new words on Bonnie #3 today, to go with the thousand-plus I've been racking up each day this week. I'm not setting houses afire, but I am building one, slow and steady [along with, y'know, the Other Daily Stuff. In case you thought I was slacking]

Once the framework's set, then I will go back and look over the edits on HARD MAGIC and the final draft of PACK OF LIES and make sure everything's tied up and tidy. I don't really enjoy being this far ahead of publication schedule WRT delivery dates, but the chance to stop and look at all three books as a whole is kinda nice. If nerve-wracking.

Tonight, I am going to kick back with some wine, and the outline for Vineart #3 (to see what has gone terribly off-track and needs to be reworked), and rest up for tomorrow's Big Gig. Will I see you there?

And if not, did you place your order with April? Last chance to get a signed copy of FLESH AND FIRE (or any other book of mine) for someone's holiday present!

[okay, maybe not. There may be Another Chance coming next week. Stay tuned.]
