I have to say, a daily word goal of 1500 words until the book is done is a whole lot less stressful than trying to write 3 or 5K or whatever a day in an attempt to get it done Faster. It’s possible I should consider that in the grand scheme of my career…. I don’t know if it’s the low-key wordcount goal or if it’s that I’m Very Determined to finish reading this series, but I’ve been reading Michelle West’s Sun Sword books. I read the first three a…

It heartily makes me want to re-read the Fionavar Tapestry, which is inconvenient because I don’t have them here, and it reminds me I should someday re-read A SONG FOR ARBONNE, which I didn’t especially like. It’d be interesting to see if I just wasn’t paying enough attention. Hrm. That wasn’t especially fascinating, but it seems…
