So I just got the Del Rey Internet Newsletter in my mailbox, and the big promo is for THE ELVES OF CINTRA, the latest in the Shannara series and part of the trilogy that I gather ties the Void books together with the Shannara books. There’s an interview in the newsletter, and in it, the King of the Silver River is mentioned. My God. I had not thought of that character in…years. I had forgotten how very much I *loved* that character until I read his name, and then it…

Oh lordy, how good these grilled veggies be. I could have a dinner like that–a lot of grilled veg and a bit of meat, in this case lamb–numerous times a week without suffering at all.

And props to Rhonnie and for volunteering to whack…

Aside from being like pulling teeth, yesterday turned out to not be a bad writing day, wordcount wise, with some 2500 words. Today felt much less strained, but I only got about 400 words more. Go figure. Tomorrow…well, I need to eat Ted’s brain to work out some of the details for the next big bit of the story. I know what needs to happen, just not quite how. And that should take up two or three chapters and hm, hey, there might be sex! Yay sex! :) ‘course, after…
