Back on the treadmill! Getting there, getting there. Probably gonna be some vampire sexin’ later this week, though, so never mind my self-shocked look. Snippet here.
Book of Last Week: Glory Road.
Very complicated weekend, this should have gone up yesterday, we’re going to put up Bob Heinlein’s Glory Road with a reminder to myself that I should reread it. Because, yeah, it’s been complicated for the last few days. Ain’t getting into it otherwise, except to note that I am very lucky in my marriage.

Traveled Friday, got 2K+ words done Saturday, muscled through another 3.4K words today. Needed to get back on track, and by God I did it. Snippet here.

Almost didn’t get this done: it turned out the time that I had blocked out to do something was not actually free time for me. But it all got done in the end. Snippet here.

Today, we break the 10K barrier. This is where I start mumbling to myself about how I apparently may be writing an actual, you know, book. It’s kind of weird, really. Snippet here.

Moving along, in its Marty Stu fashion. We progress; ’tis now one-seventh completed. Snippet here.
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Root Access.’
Ah, “Root Access.” I imagine that being a civilized orcish mage could be a lot of fun. Especially if you use the entire orc thing to cheerfully yell at people who deserve it, to the secret glee of all your more circumspect colleagues. And faculty meetings would never go on and on.

Book of the Week: The Haunting of Drearcliff Grange School.
The Haunting of Drearcliff Grange School is by Kim Newman, and it is the sequel to his The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School, which I did not really realize until afterward. But it didn’t matter: I had a jolly good time reading it anyway, as its protagonist might say. Said protagonist is a superheroine in training, more or less, and she is at a post-Great War girl’s school where that sort of thing might be taught. Or supervilliany, instead. Or mad science, or criminal masterminding, or pulp adventuring: it’s all about making sure that a girl lives up to her potential. As usual, Kim Newman makes it all work.
