Ah — novel land. I went to bed thinking about the novel last night. I woke up thinking about it. It has consumed me quickly this time, no faffing about, will I, won’t I fall into complete, utter obsession. Nope, just dove right in. I think I have the whole novel plotted out. It feels […]
I’ve had way too much caffeine this morning. My hands are shaking and my stomach’s a mess. HOWEVER. I’ve also had a lovely, lovely brainstorming session. I’ve figured out the high points of the first nine chapters of the next novel (Harp of Fire.) Then I have six chapters where I know a few things

Sorry this is late — it’s been kind of a bad week. 6 out of the last 7 days I’ve had a migraine. I’m hoping that I’ve finally figured out my triggers and that today’s lack of headache is going to continue. I’m about to go to a yoga intensive workshop for the weekend —

Today I kind of went off the deep end. There are many pictures of pens under the cut. Plus, one of the most expensive pens I’ve ever seen — was $18,000, but now on sale for a mere $13,000! Mind you, it *is* beautiful and an amazing piece of artwork. These are all Maki-e pens.
