I need to try to make this short.

Here in Providence, summer is still February again.

Blood Oranges progresses at an impressive clip. On Sunday, I wrote 2,443 words, and yesterday, I did 2,188 words and finished Chapter 3. I've cleared with my agent that this novel will be, at most, 75,000 words (my novels are usually more that 100k). And, by the ( Read more... )

Holy crap, is that a personal best? It has to be close.

Congratulations on the review and the sales. Very much regretting not ordering TW&IB (I rationalized that I had all the works, which later realized was wrong), and now it's all "next paycheck, maybe next paycheck". Ah well.

By moonlight, the high pass at Mage's Mark.

Aw. Man, this makes me feel bad for Jude. That's probably the most romantic moment of soon-to-be-ending unlife.

Before the gates of Stillmoor

Man, those towers look hungry.

Nope. Personal best, from a few months ago, is a little over 3,200. I had a fever that day.

No worries. Truthfully, I couldn't have afforded it.

I thought it was a great and, yeah, romantic shot. As for Jude, he was permanently dismissed last night, during a ceremony Selwyn conducted at the well in Lantern Hook. Only Enth'lye watched on. Selwyn wore his wedding dress.

That's pretty interesting sentence.

Selwyn found an old trunk of his belongs (he who was she) at the Refuge (this was before the slaughter), and brought them back to Lantern Hook.

She has renounced necromancy and pyromancy, andid taking up studies in chloromancy, elementalism, and storm calling, and has dedicated herself to aiding in the healing of the Droughtlands. She took new vows to Tavril. This makes her status within the Unseen...dubious.

Man, rebuilding and training at the 40+ level is freaking painfully expensive.

Also, I am thinking that something in Stillmoor is making Celinn worse. It might be just the truth of her depravity coming out, or maybe something encouraging it in her. Not sure which way I want to jump on that.
