I am for some reason at this very moment feeling as though my life has gone slightly completely fucking mad. It has not. There is absolutely nothing more on my plate now than there was ten minutes ago. I have reached the interminable stage of the book where I have five chapters left and will have five chapters left until I am suddenly done, but that’s not by any realistic terms overwhelming, it’s just what the end of a book looks like to me. I’m more or less over my…
novellas, books
Wouldn’t an Old Races novella be a nice Valentine’s Day present for the CE Murphy fan in your life? :) I, er. *stares at Amazon & at my publishers* Um. Well.

argh.
I have a cold in my nose. I don’t feel too bad otherwise, except I am very, very tired. I do not have time to be very very tired. What I have is Just Barely enough time to finish this damned book before it’s due, and tiredness is entirely anathema to that. I will write one thousand words today. That’s only 500 more.
