Words for Today: Achieved

"Furious Angels": 570. Two scenes roughed out, but not even vaguely complete.

A Rope of Thorns: 505. Notes, notes, notes. Still, I know what the new character's name is now, so that helps.

Sounds like a good beginning to me. Just keep at it. Rome not built in a day, and all that.

I look forward to finding out.

Experiance Colder--"Yancey", to friends. Or, say, that nice ex-Pinkerton you ran into, while trying to avenge yourself on little Mister I-Got-Your-Husband-Killed.

Oooh.

By the way...I LOVE Strange Weight. Mac Roke is a wonderfully wry character. Saracen, I'd love to see more of, too. Strangely, I'd like to see more of Mac's life as Father Mac, too.

Got a shopping list, if you want it.

I'd never considered a Tale of Father Mac, but yeah, that would be interesting. Might try to work it into "Furious Angels", since Sr. Blandina, Mac and (indeed) Saracen all recur in that one.

Huzzah.

See? It's not just me. Send that story somewhere!

It's slated to be published in 2010 by Burning Effigy, the same people who did Words Written Backwards. And there's also a possibility of a reprint, later on, in another context; email for details.
