Yesterday I did "only" 1,528 words, and I felt guilty for not having written more. But I made my goal, and the Word Bank even gained 28 words.

Speaking of things you don't like, I posted some comments about DOH on my blog, along with as many links to your books as were appropriate. There are a couple of nods to Sirenia as well. If you've got to refute me on anything I say, I've got comments open.

I shall have a look, but perhaps not until the morning.
