This is still subject to change, as Chapter 12 is going back up to my charming and talented beta reader to see if perhaps it looks a little less like a victim of the Terror, but I think it's pretty substantially how things are going to be.

This is exciting and unnerving all at once.

Of course, it's not like I'm left at loose ends, since I have vol. 2 (also, of course, 3 and 4), the dis., and a short story all waiting for me, but still.

And printing things out has got to be the most boring part of the entire writing process. Even writer's block is more interesting than this, for crying out loud.

And now I've got the whole X-Files thing going, and am feeling all nostalgic for when I loved The X-Files with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. *sigh* But that was another wench, and besides the country's dead.

Now my heart belongs to Buffy. But I'm not crazy enough to believe Buffied is a readable font. 'Cause with the not.

Um, yes, I am a font-freak. Why do you ask?

Tomorrow I think I have to get cracking on the dis. Either reading Cressy or wrestling Duffy into the chapter. I still want to have something to give the godlike committee member at the end of this month, and that goal is slipping away from me. However, it is also extremely important--perhaps more important to my long-term happiness--to get The Project vol. 1 (dude, if I could think of a title for the quartet, I would be SO psyched) to my agent, and that looks like it is going to happen this month.

*looks in HL's general direction*

Thank you, btw, to everybody who chipped in with fiction recommendations. They are much appreciated and shall be sought out as time and finances warrant. Y'all are super.
