Update and the Macabre
Oct. 15th, 2006 11:02 amOK, first the macabre. While driving to work the other day (one of the 3 hour legs) I noticed a small truck again with something sticking out of the bed. Many somethings. I thought they were sticks or the handles of rakes. As I caught up and got ready to pass them, I realized that the "dirt" I'd also seen streaking the back of the truck was, in fact . . . blood. And the many somethings? The legs of deer. Yes, the bed of the truck was loaded with deer carcasses. I didn't check them out all that carefully, but I did have a few reactions:
1) Only in Pennsylvania, and
2) I realized that, in all honesty, I did not think this was incredibly bizarre. A little bizarre, but it didn't really surprise me.
I've been in PA too long.
And now for the update. After the con and the subsequent "catchup" that followed at work, I managed to get a few hours to write this week. I finished chapter 13 and got about 8 pages into chapter 14, which I considered nothing short of a miracle considering the little amount of time I had for writing. In any case, here's the wordage update. I figure there are 3 more chapters and an epilogue, so I'm still holding out for finishing the novel by the end of the year. Not by WFC (other authors who I will not mention the names of have deadline of WFC; I expect to bring home a mounted head from the con), but by the end of the year. We'll see. I've decided life does not want me to finish this year, so perhaps it will throw something else in my way.
