Reasons to Celebrate
Breath of Earth is DONE. Well, the rough draft, anyway. The full version could be another six months yet. Final word tally: 86,729
The goal was 90k, so my estimate was pretty darn close. I figure the count will climb a good bit in the first rounds of revisions, and then reduce as I snip stuff. That tends to be the usual way of things.

My short story "Maps" on Daily Science Fiction has garnered my first positive review from the folks at Diabolical Plots:
“Maps” may be the most tragic story I have ever read on DSF (quite a claim for this publication). The story was like watching an accident on the side of the freeway, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. High marks to Ms Cato for her accomplishment.
