Beta day
I spent three hours this morning putting together my beta reader copies and getting them out the door. I got to switch over the work in progress listed in my community signature from Gods Old and Dark to Midnight Rain — I finally get to get back to it and do that last few thousand…

I’m done!
I’m done, I’m done, I’m done! 106,000 words, and I like the ending. Hah! I think I like the whole thing. I’ll package it and send it to my beta readers tomorrow, but tonight, I’m just going to celebrate. Hot chocolate and pretzels and maybe a sappy movie.

Down to the last two scenes
I’ll finish sometime today!

Four scenes
The big finish is going well. I got four complete, brand-new scenes done this morning, and I love what I got. Manuscript is right at 108,000 words, though after I finish the climactic scenes, I’m going to have to lop off the old ending — so I figure it’ll go down to about 104,000 or…

Triumph of the Dog’s Breakfast

And because I’ve been stalled out on the climactic scene, which I have rewritten and discarded too many times now — at about three thousand words…

Hack, cough, wheeze, groan
Still sick. Did not write yesterday. Am not writing today. Going back to bed immediately after posting this, and staying there until I feel well enough to write.

Arrgh
Today did not go well, writing-wise. I’m hoping tonight will be better.

A moment for appreciation
I’m up — writing this morning in spite of the fact that I feel like hell. Doing a Baanraak and June Bug scene, and a Rekkthav scene (poor Rekkthav — junior dark god with “Kick Me” painted on the back of his carapace and a problem with bosses that just makes you want to weep)…

Disease Day in Deadline-Land
I’m down with something. Matt got it first, and has been sick as hell for about a week, but he’s getting better. Now it’s my turn. I woke up this morning feeling rocky, but put it down to not enough sleep. Got up, wrote, did okay — though I’m going to have to slice out…
