I’m aiming for 3K a day writing, but I’ve been doing (thanks to word wars) more like 3500. Which isn’t a lot more, but it adds up to an extra chapter a week, so if I continue with it, that’ll cut an entire week off the writing time for the book. Anyway, I’m almost at the tipping point–I’ve gotten 2/3rds of an extra chapter written so far, and while I probably won’t actually roll over into the sixth chapter until Friday, the fact that I’m on the cusp is sort…

contest winner
Holy crap. Only three people entered the TPC give-away contest, but they did a bloody fantastic job. In the end, I’ve chosen the one with my favorite suggestion for Belinda, although some of the other casting ideas were inspired.

Where you’re the person or thing which causes other things to be drawn to it, so change can be affected. There’s a word for that. I will send a copy of THE PRETENDER’S CROWN to whoever can come up with the word I’m looking for. *Argh*. *shakes brain in frustration* eta: I think got closest to what I’m after first, with ‘fulcrum’. A fulcrum point from which everything else swings. I think that’s ……
I’ve had a very productive day, so long as you don’t count getting dressed in proper clothes an essential part of a productive day. I’m still in the sweatshirt and floppy pants I put on this morning, but I did write 3400 words, walk 3 miles and swim. And my shoulder, which ached this morning, seems to have settled down, which is good. I think there’s something distinctly good to be said for getting up and writing, then going to the gym mid-day and coming back again to write after…
