Finally finished the “make it not broke” draft of “The Raven and the Dancing Tiger.” I sent it off to my first readers tonight. It turned out to be 63,925 words. I’m pleased with how it went. Hopefully, my first readers will be pleased with it as well. One of the things that happened with

The plan was to eat an early dinner, then write 3000 words tonight. The start would be difficult, but I was pretty sure I could get through it. Plan, meet reality. In reality, it’s crunch week at the day job right now. Actually, kind of crunch month, from now through August 15th I have some

Of the novel, that is. 54190 / 63000 I sat down and did plotting and realized that really, there aren’t that many chapters left. I figure the novel is only 63K words, not 69K words. I could be wrong, maybe I need those last two chapters, but right now, I think I don’t. The novel

I’ve finished the brick walkway! At least for now. I can see getting another thing of masonry sand at some point and redoing the cracks. But for now, it’s done! Warning: Lots of pictures under the cut.
