Two good days in a row.

Refreshed, recharged, and I've got my mojo back. Cover Me went screaming past the Milestone of Destinah yesterday and is, at this moment, inching towards 21,000. I've finished one of the scenes that required the most research and planning, and so far I like the result.

Now, will this continue? Hell if I know. With a few projects stalled in the mid-30s, I'm not going to jump the gun and say whether this one will fly or fail. So far, so good, though. I spent today making my main character's life a living hell, and that will continue tomorrow. Hopefully he'll forgive me, since I've promised him several of those scenes (tm) to make up for it.

I've also reached an interesting milestone in my evolution as a writer. Today marked the first time I've ever used the phrase "tap-dancing scorpions". I'm not sure what this says about my evolution as a writer, but I'm sure it's somehow significant.

In other news, my good friend Loki is making plans to come see me at the end of March, so I'll actually have a visitor from the States - hooray! And since she's a writer, there will be much fun, frivolity, and workaholism in between visiting tourist traps and sushi bars. She's one of those people who has been a crazy huge influence on my writing since the early years of fantasy failure, so it'll rock having her in my clutches for a whole week. Shweet.

Anyway, back to writing...
