Well, I'm not sure if I'll get more writing done this evening, so I thought I'd post here. After some muddling earlier today, I pulled together a lot of cool stuff for chapter eighteen, and I like it a lot. And I incorporated scenes with all my major characters except Ally, who shows up in chapter 19. More on that tomorrow.

Six chapters to go!!! Wahoo!

1,500 words again today -- that seems to be my max wordage. Maybe I can double that tomorrow if it keeps raining. I took a couple hours off today to pick up all the grubs in our back yard I killed yesterday, and I swear there were over 500 of 'em! Pesticides are fun. I also seeded the back lawn and threw hay over it. Right now it's raining -- perfect timing.

Such is the life of a freelance writer slash lawn boy. Oh, and I also finished reading the RatBastards' chapbook, which was a lot of fun, if a bit weird and indecipherable at times. But I really liked the final story, "Even a Worm Will Turn," by Kristin Livdahl. Makes me wanna do a chapbook or something... Hmm... Later.

Today's Quote:
“Stand back,” Skin said, ducking as the ceiling dripped down around him. Without waiting to see if Shermie heard him, Skin gathered all of his strength, the power in his thin arms and legs and back that had been with him since his Wannoshay had touched him last November, and he slammed both fists into the wall of the dissolving ship. The liquifying metal bulged outward and finally burst.
