200K has been LEFT IN THE DUST! I ROCK! Ok, not really left in the *dust*, but I finally broke 200K words written this year, so I’m very pleased with myself. :) ALSO broke 200 miles in the walk to Rivendell! Go ME! Look out, Shoka! Look out, Heather! I’m catchin’ up! ytd wordcount: 200,500 miles to Rivendell: 201
just stuff

Making jam is kinda fun. :) My *other* nefarious plan is to find sugar-free jam recipes so that I can make Trip-safe jam. :)
proceeding apace!
My plans to conquer the publishing world proceed apace. I’ve packaged up the Chance script to send to Marvel. All told, it’s a *fifty* page submission — 32 page script (22 page script, but 32ms pages because it *looks* so much better with forced page breaks), an _eleven page_ beatsheet for the next 5 issues, a 3 page complete story arc, cover letter, and the papers Marvel requires for submission, an idea submission release and a W-9.
