Afterglow

Last night’s event was just a delight — not only because I got to meet Jeff VanderMeer and Cat Rambo, but because the turn-out was wonderful and I only knew a small percentage of the people who showed up. Don’t get me wrong — I am all awash with warm fuzzies when friends come out to be supportive; but it’s always exciting when strangers show up, because it surprises the hell out of me.

I sold a bunch of books and signed them. So did Jeff and Cat. We had good readings and lots of fun, and I am utterly pleased to make the formal acquaintance of them both.

And now for the recent stats for the fabulous urban fantasy adventure about a neurotic vampire/thief and her wealthy blind client, now with Bonus! Cuban drag queen and military intrigue:

Project: Bloodshot
New Words Written: 2186
Present Total Word Count: 67,972 words
Goal: 95,000 words by December 12





Things Accomplished in Fiction: Not enough. Didn’t even finish the scene I was working on the other day; this was kind of a weirdly difficult work day. Not sure why it took me all day to get barely 2200 words out. I’ll try to get a better handle on it tomorrow. And at least I’m still ahead of goal, which is to average a thousand words a day between now and December.

Things Accomplished in Real Life: Day-job work; some shopping (but I forgot some of the stuff I need); did other assorted errand-running.

Reason for Stopping: I need a break. So I’m going to take one, and then start fiddling with another story I’m trying to write (due at the end of this month).
