Knock Knock Knock

What's that knocking on my door?

Is it...the Lockniss Monsah coming to ask for tree fiddy?

No, not this time.

This time, it's opportunity. After a conversation with Libbie, I see a golden opportunity - a long shot, but an opportunity nonetheless - for World Enough and Time. I see it mostly because she kicked me in the ass repeatedly until I did so. Now, Cover Me is still coming along nicely (though I've had to rejig the outline again), but I get the feeling (mostly because of Libbie's foot meeting my ass) that I shouldn't sit around and let this slide.

So, it's back to World Enough and Time for a little while. I don't imagine it'll take me more than a week or so to revise it. Possibly two, and Libbie is under strict orders to commence foot-to-ass again if I'm not working on Cover Me again by Feb 6. It looks like I'll be knocking a few chapters out, possibly adding two or three, and modifying several others. Once they've met Scarlett's approval and she's blessed me with a query and synopsis? Off it goes, and I'm back to Cover Me.

And so help me God, I will finish Cover Me if I have to carve it into my own flesh. Shouldn't come down to that, but...I'm just sayin'.

  4. My foot is primed and ready -- eager, even -- to meet your ass on February 6th.

    Good luck, also.
