Someone asked if I could create a page for my blogs which lists the year’s upcoming releases and what I’m working on now. The former, especially, is probably a good idea, particularly for cemurphy.net, but experience tells me that I simply never, ever remember to update a “what I’m working on now” page. There are three reasons for this. One is that I talk about whatever I’m currently working on on mizkit.com, which is where all the daily grind for life as a working writer gets posted. I mean, it’s…
small triumphs
I turned out to lack the enthusiasm to watch a movie (how is that even /possible/?) and have spent a while dorking around with Photoshop and working to convert a few more pictures into kitsnaps format.

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.

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

Too early (or too late) for most warriors to be around, so in a desperate attempt to get the book done today, I will be warring with myself on the blog until either I’m done or people show up in the war room. Starting NOW. war #1: 744 war #2: 472, plus a nap. oop. Lunch now, & that’s all for the blog wars, warriors in the room to support me…
