I fear today may be a day of many posts. I’m finding–not just today, when I’m trying to get JvC started, but in general–that I’m spending a great deal of time screwing around when I’m at Nook, my writing computer. It’s the moral equivalent of playing Solitaire all the time, although I don’t actually have any games on that computer anymore.

liveblogging the final chapter
I have done jack all today on this book. So I’m now going behind the cut tag and live-blogging the writing of the last chapter. I have no idea what this will entail. Wordcounts, I guess. For something more interesting, go read today’s interview with me over at Bitten By Books. There are 5 PRETENDER’S CROWN ARCs in the running for commentors, so go forth and participate. :)
