I think we’ve actually gained slightly on Swan River Press! Admittedly, we still have over 600 votes to catch up, but if we catch up by Friday evening, I’ll post the first chapter of SHAMAN RISES! :) Vote here! (And here’s the Swan River project too. :)) Following on my rant last Friday, I was tipped to this webcomic, which pretty well nailed it. (Thank you, Hataroni, for the link!) Ted and I (mostly Ted) put up the new shelves in the utility room last night. They’re just about exactly…

weekend roundup

If we can catch up to Swan River Press this week I’ll post the first chapter of SHAMAN RISES on Friday evening. :) He’s 600 votes ahead of us and gets 100 votes a day as standard, so we’ve got a LOT of catching up to do! :)

We got another 100 votes on Last Days yesterday, although somehow it’s still not back on the trending projects page! But if we make it to at least 1570 votes today, I will send a book to somebody who reports their number in to me today, just for fun.
