SULKING. I forgot I’d written 700 words on this chapter yesterday, so instead of only having about a thousand words left to write to hit quota, I’ve got about 1800 words, which is most of a new chapter. And hell, if I’m going to write that much of it, I might as well write it all, because that’ll put me at 70K, but whiiiiiiiine! That’s wooooork! Whiiiiine! Suuuuuulk! Ok, I’m not really sulking, but I’m dorking around writing journal entries instead of starting the next chapter. I might go for…
BOOKS!
I have just gotten a box full of books. Twenty-four shiny copies of THUNDERBIRD FALLS, which, by gum, looks quite lovely and smells like new book and generally makes me beam like an idiot. There’s a lot of that going on today. I’m having a good day. :) Although my, all this good stuff is making the words creep along right slowly, it is, because I keep fiddling around with other stuff and, er, checking my comments to see if anybody’s awake and full of good cheer along with me,…

This is a good morning for art news. First, has been nominated for an Eisner award, for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition.

I do believe…
I do believe I have a book here. I’m not done. I’ve got four or five more chapters (I’m at just over 65K, chapters are averaging 2900 words, that all works out perfectly), but this last chapter went *really* well and I’ve stopped in the midst of another tension-filled scene, so picking up tomorrow should be fun and easy (as far as these things go). I’m quite delighted by the way things are working out, though you’d think I’d be used to the whole thing coming together by now. This…
hoooongry
Man, I have just got the raging hungries today. This may be a week’s worth of paying attention to what I eat catching up, but jeez o flip, whatever it is, HONGRY! Dinner was an hour ago and I’ve just had a snack and more water, so I’m hoping that’ll hold me for a while. Sheesh. And now I’ve got an apple at hand so I won’t go hunting for other stuff. Not that there’s much other stuff in the way of junk to eat. We’ve got some potato chips,…
