I’ve been writing a lot. Well. Last weekend I was sick. Let us not speak of it. My action chapter is still kicking my butt, because, well, it’s action. It’ll be okay, and the next chapter should have fun stuff in it. Well, there was something fun...

I’m getting lots of things done today. I just don’t have any new prose to show for it. Critiques! Edits on the hurricane story. I’m pondering the outline for the new improved Lizardfic. The outlining in particular feels productive. I’m pretty...
