Shock and horror — An update

Okay, my apologies: i had not realized how long it had been since I last updated here. Things have been absolutely insane, and trying to keep up with it all has been a trick.

I got the first critique from one of my critical readers – and it was surprisingly glowing. Now I have to do my own revision on Amaranth; it’s due by 24 July. I have things I needed to fix in it to bring it in line with Verdant and the other stories.

Speaking of Verdant, I’m within 25,000 words away from being done. With how I have it formatted, that’s about 40+ pages from done. Given that I’m participating in JulNoWriMo, that is entirely workable.

And finally, in other news, D. Marie and I will be moving on 02 August. We’ll still be in Tallahassee, but we found a larger, better laid-out place in a better, quieter area of town for the same monthly rent. Obviously we snatched it up immediately. So from 01 August (last minute “flight of the bumblee” packing through 06 August (exhausted “aren’t we done yet” unpacking), neither of us will be online and there will be little – if any – writing done. But I should be done with Verdant by that point, so all should be good there.

Now my exhausted and slightly ill sell will settle in for writing and maybe eventually dinner.
