After several days of picking at it, I’ve finally finished chapter bleeding eleven. This has not been the prodigious writing week I hoped it’d be. It hasn’t been a total loss, either, which is good. It just hasn’t been as zmm zmm as I hoped. 36K is a long way from the 50 I was hoping I’d see. My mother has offered to make me a dress like the one on the cover of HOUSE OF CARDS if I knock off the 15 pounds I’ve re-gained by late October (before…

lust!
I have just done something completely unlike myself. When I was in high school, I had an utterly magnificent pair of high heels. They were red leather slingbacks with a pointy patent leather toe, and the strap and heel were also patent leather. They were the most awesome pair of shoes I’ve ever owned, up to and including the magnificent Duo boots I’ve purchased over the last year.

It should be better now, but if anybody has problems let me know. *looks around vaguely* I think that’s everything. :)
HOUSE OF CARDS
A few days ago I got email from my editor saying they needed front material for HOUSE OF CARDS, suggesting to me that they were, in fact, going to be publishing that book one of these days (not that there was any suggestion they wouldn’t. It’s just seemed like a particularly long road). So I asked about cover art, ’cause … well, nevermind why, but I did, and lo! I have cover art!
