Victory! And – oh my god, endings are hard! Finished the novel today. Another 3500 words done, and some of them were tough as nails to get out. I ran into the same issue at the end of Starship 5, too. Wrapping things up – drawing everything to a conclusion that feels satisfying – just …

While I was shopping, I was listening to a podcast: the guys from the Self Publishing Podcast were interviewing Dean Wesley Smith and Kris Rusch. I\’m only about halfway through the \’cast, but it has been AWESOME so …
No escaping it – into full on work days now. Up at 6am, out the door after a quick shower, and then at work before 7am. There until almost 4pm today. Hit email over lunch break, so I\’d have less to do there when I got home. And had an absolutely awful end of the …
So, today I am part of another blog hop – hope to see some folks popping in! This is the second time I\’ve done this, and I\’ll be doing things a little differently. This is an enormous hop. Tons of blogs involved. So if you\’re new to the site, welcome! Please feel free to pop around …
