Here’s a picture of a cloud that looks like a dinosaur skeleton. I like it. It’s very “Ghost Brontosauruses in the Sky.” Or something.

Hey, folks. Apropos of nothing, I hear that January’s Fangoria has a review of Wings to the Kingdom in it — but I haven’t had a chance to go pick up a copy. It’s my understanding that it’s not the world’s gushiest review or anything, and that’s fine. I still want to know what it says. Can anyone email it my way?*

Anyway, today I am awesome. No, seriously. Awesome. Stats for the trashy adventure about a neurotic vampire/thief and her wealthy blind client, now with Bonus! half-Cuban drag queen and military intrigue:

Project: Bloodshot
New Year’s Resolution Status: Double-Plus WIN
New Words Written Today: 4459
Present Total Word Count: 10,165 words
Goal: 30,000 words and a proposal. If I can keep up this pace, I can pull that off by the end of January. This is where I cross my fingers, hold my breath, keep my head down, and type like a mofo.





Things Accomplished: Mystery established. Case taken. Curiosity roused. Pepper and Domino introduced.
Reason for Stopping: I needed to work on other projects, too.
Other: Achieved Draft One of “The Catastrophe Box.” Began compiling/cleaning information for the steampunk novel proposal. What can I say? I’ve really got my A-game going today.
