Somehow I went to bed early (for me, at least - 1:30 AM) but slept until the shamefully delinquent hour of 11 AM. So, I'm about as far behind on the day I could have feared.
Yesterday, I wrote 1,052 words on "The Dead and the Moonstruck." That brings the total on the story to 2,360 words. I'll finish it today or, more likely, tomorrow. I like how this piece is turning out and I don't want to rush it. Very dark, but also whimsical and quite funny at times. I said it was a bit like a Harry Potter story on crack and both Jennifer and Spooky agreed with me. Spooky wants it to be a whole novel.
I still haven't returned the chapette proof to Camelot. That needs to be done today.
And the extra stuff for the Subterranean Press lettered of Low Red Moon. That's another reason I shouldn't have overslept.
The number of American soldiers killed in Iraq has now surpassed the number killed in the first Gulf War. The article I read made no mention of the far greater number of Iraqis who have died.
