Weekly Word Count

Konbanwa, minasan!

I’ve made some progress on the writing-in-chaos problem. I can stop and start again, without losing track. It’s something that I didn’t know I had in me, and I’m very happy for it.

More Steven fiction is up. I think we’re about halfway through Book 2 at this point. Blaize and the one with the sword are taking out members of the Coven, and Steven is chafing in the organization required for one city to wage war upon another. Mmm, burnt flesh.

Really looking forward to next week’s meeting regarding the upcoming webcomic, and I really need to do some extra script writing. The first bit involved a lot of back and forth with my partners (artist and mechanics), and I’m looking forward to getting in the groove with my co-conspirators.

I’m feeling just as much urge to write the Adam in Chicago story as I am to write in the sequel. The sequel will still be my priority, overall, but I remember the girl and the ritual and the house burning down and the coffee shop and Walter’s fiery friend and… yeah, that one was left unfinished for too long. I’ve got this itch, man.

Hoping to have yet another chapter of Steven out to everyone on Friday. As always, input is welcomed.

I’ve -almost- got full range of motion…

Home Base Update:

Apartment is entirely cleaned out. Nothing left. Only casualty so far – my right ankle. Twisted it coming down the stairs, holding the most awkward poster frames ever. I’m so done buying the cheap ones. It hasn’t swelled, but it’s a few hours later, and it feels warmer than it should. So I’m doing my best to keep it as elevated as possible. It’s on the same leg that’s having the arthritis flare-up in the knee, so I’m sure my left leg will hate me soon enough for favoring it.

Anyway, keys are turned in, forwarding address has been left, and they better not try to charge me for stuff (like holes in the carpet they didn’t replace before I got there) that was present upon move-in. They’ve been pretty upstanding so far, so I don’t think they’ll try anything wonky.

So, except for a load of stuff in the car – the Sunfire is FULL – everything has been moved into the new house. has a talent for turning a living space into a home, and I’m lucky and thankful that she’s so passionate about making our house a home.

Proto-Baby Update:

Yesterday was ‘s first OB/GYN appointment. Our first appointment? Is it okay for me to make this about us? Am I appropriating something that’s not mine?

Everything seems to be in good order. We’ve got an early March due date at this point. They tried to find the heartbeat without success, so we’re having an early ultrasound on Tuesday. I’m wondering if they’re going to use the traditional kind, or one of the 3-D imagers. Also, I really dig the nurse/midwife (certified in both!). She told to relax. Hee! So, of course, I’m all giddy about Tuesday. I wonder if ultrasound pics will scan…
