Yep, still livin’ the dream. No day-job. Lots of time at my writing office.
About to call it a day.
Less fortunately, this book is not proving cooperative lately. So, still a lot of flailing and cursing going on.
Never mind; I’ll get it sorted out.
I’m stepping back and reviewing some of my back-burner projects, just to give my overheated brain a rest.   I’ll give myself a few days of that.
I have three things cooking:
One is related to Book 5, but not in the main line of the series.  An interesting side-excursion…
The other is the fabled Secret Project, which was supposed to be a novella but grew legs and wings and a kick-ass attitude, and had to be set aside so I could go back to the Steerswomen…
The third is an epic poem, somewhat hindered by the fact that I am no kind of poet. I just sort of shove the words around until I like them.  But it seems like that hasn’t stopped lots of other people who commit poetry, so what the heck.
… And that’s all I’ll say here, because (as I’ve said before) I don’t like to over-talk a project. It drains all the juice out! Plus: spoilers.
In other news:
Something hit Jupiter!  Probably a comet or an asteroid.  Phil Plait of the Bad Astronomy blog has a nice round-up.
Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted some Wrong Science recently, but the difference between him and Bill Nye was that the statements in question were one-liners (not lengthy explanatory videos), not in his field of expertise, and posted off the cuff.  In fact, I can’t help wondering if he even posted them himself at all.  Some famous people outsource their tweets.
And: Monday is the day! We have tickets to Welcome to Night Vale’s live performance in Northampton MA. SO excited!  Also, looking forward to a pre-show dinner with pal and fellow writer Geary Gravel.  He’s not a Night Vale fan, but we like him anyway.
Click the poster above to go to their live show tickets website. They might be coming to your town. You’d hate to miss them, right?
