passing updatery

[lagilman]

Yesterday I got in 2200 new words on The Book and, despite Other Life Intrusions, I've hit the 2/3 point of plot, if not word-length. Yay! It's all very very drafty, and since I'm writing the first bones of a new universe, there's stuff that I'm only now discovering that I'll have to go back and dig into/expand upon. But am not displeased with what's going down on the page.

The Vineart War, Book 1. Due 15 December 2008

59,000 / 100,000 (59.0%)

Meanwhile, Research Trip Planning continues, and I seem to have finally gotten the hang of French Time (it's a lot like Jamaican Time, actually, only without the tropical breeze). I leave in 14 days. Before then, debg arrives, my dad's birthday needs to be celebrated, and a surprisingly high pile of paperwork needs to be dealt with. Plus I may or may not hear back from several editors about Things Pending.

And I may or may not have a freelance job hit before I go.

(I need more caffeine...)

Also: one bit of nice news I can't actually say anything about yet. Doncha just hate that?


Back to't, now...

14 days! Good lord, that's practically tomorrow (only stretched out a bit). And you've been much more productive than I.

Am I the only one who read the heading as "Passing Eatery"?

I must be hungry....
