Yesterday was a very blah day.

Got started on the wrong foot -- something trivial upset me in the morning, and though by evening I was having a good time it put me off my stride.  No blogging, no writing, :-(.  Only the second day I've fallen behind on either, and y'know, I'll catch up.  It's okay to have bad days now and then.

Once Megan does her initial read-through and edit of Chapter Eight of The Hellion Prince, I'll be posting it.  Nine and Ten are very close to done as well, so hopefully they'll follow inside a week or two.

Eleven has two orphaned half-scenes, so it will take... somewhat longer.

Anyway, I think I am at the low point on my biorhythms, or whatever.  I've had a remarkably sulky sort of week, though not quite my seasonal fit of antisocial hatred and gloom.  I've talked about that particular cycle before, right?  Three months of oppressively good cheer and optimism followed by three days of glowering, tantrum-throwing (you know, like, maturely, though), inexplicable crying, and so on and so forth.  And then I feel fine again, completely normal and ready to take on the world.

Chapter Eight!

Just posted all 5200 words of Chapter Eight of The Hellion Prince.  As always, let me know if you'd like to be added to the reading filter, and if you ARE on the reading filter, please at least drop me a comment to let me know you've read it?

Chapter Nine is essentially finished -- I'd post it now, but if people tell me that Chapter Eight needs to be trimmed down a bit (it's pretty talky), there are some pieces I need to splice into Nine rather than lose entirely.

So the sooner I hear back on that, the sooner the next bit goes up.  Yes, I am shameless, XD, but I swear in this case it isn't a deliberate scheme but a legit editorial concern.

Probably doesn't need saying, but in finishing the edits I more than made up for yesterday's failure to write, and breezed past today's quota as well.
