Hey Folks,
Well, there y’go. Last day of the month. I’m pretty sure I won’t finish my novel today, so I guess I’ll miss putting one out in February. (grin)
Well, I won’t write a whole novel during February, but I published one yesterday. That’s the cover over there on the left. Came out okay, especially given that I’m considerably out of practice.
I rolled out early this morning for some reason, around 2 a.m. Of course, I checked Dean’s site. At the time there were about 20 hours left in the North by Northwest Kickstarter.
So I dropped in on my main blog and wrote a quick “flash notice.” It went live at 8 a.m. I’ll take it down early tomorrow morning and the usual weekly blog post will move back into its place.

Wow. I had a relatively good day of writing. Among doing a lot of other things around the house, I got three good writing sessions, so that was nice.
See you then.
