It looks like MN or WY outside outside, that thin blue in the sky reflecting the deep purple shadows of the snow — very pretty, and very cold. There’s supposed to be another huge storm coming tonight. They’re predicting snow, high winds, power outages, etc. As bright and clear as it is right now it’s […]
One of the reasons why I don’t frequent this LJ is because the FL is daunting. I used to have the policy of just friending back everyone who friended me. But there are 170 people on it and it’s too big. So I’m “defriending” a bunch of folks — just to make it this LJ
Orycon was fun, and I got very inspired, as usual. I didn’t attend that much of the con — disappeared and was quiet a lot, got a lot of sleep, spent time writing. What parts I did participate in were fun. I don’t know if I’ll attend next year — it’s really going to depend

I finished writing out chapter 15 yesterday — the last chapter in the Harp of Light. Yes! ::pumps fist:: But I can’t declare the first draft of the novel as done. This morning I wrote the epilogue, which turned out to be longer than I expected — about 1000 words. But I think it needs
