Cut 3K from FIREBIRD DECEPTION. I think I can replace 500 word with a new scene, but mostly the stuff that went was meandering cruft and didn’t properly advance the story (it advanced it, but not the way I wanted it to), so despite the fact that I’m back down beneath 50K, I’m happier with it. And I oughta be able to make up the 3K pretty easily. All is well. Had a lovely walk with Dad, and now I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself. miles…

wow. o.o

Wow. Despite being light-headed from the cold medicine (I do not remember cold medicine doing this to me thirty pounds ago.

Between those revision/edity things and the proposal due on June 1 and the book due on July 1, it is *very clear*…

Did I mention I now have a Wikipedia entry? A splended fellow who found me through Jim Butcher created it a little while back. I thought it was outrageous cool. :) Some way cool news on the publicity front this morning, but I don’t have all the details hammered out yet, so I’m simply going to taunt you by mentioning it thusly and then saying no more. No more!
