  • New Poems!

    I wrote two more poems today, bringing me a third of the way to my year’s goal. View can be read here, and my Hierophant meets my High Priestess: all bets called off is scheduled for tomorrow. I think I may put my most recent poems into glasstown as well; I need to add more…

  • Wow

    At 10:22 pm on Friday, July 10th, I typed the last words to my first novel, Bellica. I’m pretty darn impressed with myself. Let us party. Also, for July I’ve written 55,977 words total.

I think I can.   By which I mean I MUST BE FRIGGIN INSANE.  Actually, though, when I looked over my word count goals that I’d set for this year ANYway, I realized…
