This tablet thing is hard! It would be easier if I could turn the tablet like I can turn a drawing pad, but noooOOOOOoooo. Anyway, a drawing of Breic. :)

the books I’m working on
The books I’m working on, or at least referring to in my blog these days, by initials: TB is THUNDERBIRD FALLS, the sequel to URBAN SHAMAN. (Let us not focus on the fact that in fact the initials of this should be ‘TF’; apparently ‘thunderbird’ is the important word in my mind.) This series as a whole is The Walker Papers, which probably won’t ever be referred to as TWP, but they /could/ be. Theoretically. TQB is THE QUEEN’S BASTARD. Epic fantasy. Being written on spec for a proto-editor at…
wow, go *me*!
Okay, what Sarah gave me yesterday as an idea was *exactly, *exactly* what I needed. It’s something the reader can figure out, it’s something that Jo has an IC reason for happening that doesn’t necessarily associate with the *real* reason it’s happening, it can be used in flashes and gradually get worse, it’s *perfect*. It’s *exactly* what I needed. It’s *exactly* the kind of thing I’ve been trying to figure out for the whole book. It’s *perfect*. And now I’m burning through the wordcount, because I’m no longer hitched up…
good grief
Didn’t go to the SinC meeting, but I did write a lot more. Another 1770 words or so, for a total of 3400 today, and I finished the 2nd chapter of TQB, which came in at 6400 words. 29 pages. I’ve written 2 chapters and it’s already 63 pages long! Ye gods. Best of all, though, I know what I’m doing with chapter 3! Ok, that was a *lot* of writing today. I think it’d bedtime now. ytd wordcount: 16,000
hah!
Hah! V. Good! Sarah’s idea got me through the stuck part in spades and will make for some really cool stuff later in the book. 1642 words on TB today! Yay! ytd wordcount: 14,250
