Book Six Is Done!
This morning, I wrote the last words on Book 6. It is officially drafted! This one came easily, especially compared to Book 5. I wrote it in fits and starts, grabbing a few minutes here and there whenever I could, but it flowed and…
NaNoWriMo Roundup
Well, November has come and gone, and I did not get my novel finished. I’m sitting at about 37,000 words on the thing, which I feel is pretty damn good. It’s not 50,000, for sure, but I know what the rest of the book…

Book 6 Underway
Good morning (or afternoon or evening or whatever. It’s morning as I write this, so “morning” is part of the salutation)! As you may recall, I recently completed the first draft of Book 5, which is fantastic news and gladdens the very cockles of…
