I accidentally* walked eight and a half miles today. I’m completely wiped out. However, the errands are all done and all the Strongbox Chronicles are in the mail to their new owners. The poor man at the post office was a bit boggled when we kept taking more and more envelopes out of the bags. :) And…I was gonna maybe go to a movie tonight, but I’ve already walked all over hell and breakfast, so I think I’ll stay home and watch Hunt for Red October.

WAYFINDER is done in rough draft form, coming in at 101.5K. I’m taking the rest of today and tomorrow off, and will fling myself into hairy nasty horrible revisions on Thursday morning, the better to have them completed by (ideally) close of business on Friday so I can have the weekend off before starting another book. Yeah, no, sorry, that’s as much as I got. I’m gonna go blow spit bubbles now or something… The Road Home: miles to Isengard: 126.3 ytd wordcount: 73,200 ytd km swum: 23.5

Then Wednesday is full of errands and I can do revisions Thursday and Friday and turn it in. Then I get to take the weekend off and start all over again on Monday with SPIRIT DANCES. *headdesk* The Road Home: miles to Isengard: 123.9 ytd wordcount: 71,300 ytd km swum:…

Today he posted one of the re-draws because he ran out of time to do a new strip. Here’s the original. Here’s the re-draw.
