Well, yesterday was kind of a write-off for writing. I know I did something, but I can't remember what so it clearly wasn't enough to be worthwhile. Today was better; I added 1500 words to Blood and Bones, and finished a short story for submission to a Static Movement anthology. I'm hoping to finish the edits on DEMONISED by Tuesday. I wanted to get some work done on Halflife today too, but my arm's getting sore and I don't want to push it, so this is probably it for the day. But that's good enough for me!

I've also been sending out review requests for NIGHT AND CHAOS, which I always find nerve-wracking. It's really easy to believe you've written something fascinating and brilliant, until you actually put it out there for the public, and then it's much easier to believe you've written a pile of crap. And then if someone reviews it and agrees with you it's a pile of crap, you're forced to gnaw your arms off and eat ice cream for weeks. Which is really hard to do when you've gnawed your arms off.

Anyway, here's a pretty stat bar for Blood and Bones:

5065 / 40000
(12.66%)


Now I depart! I had a really vivid dream last night about a half-orc-half elf girl and a dragon and some high fantasy epicness, and I want to make some notes before it all vanishes from my head.
