Brief update.

[matt_doyle]

This week I have written 750 more vaguely-chronological words on The Hellion Prince, and hope to get some editing done on the remainder of Chapter Four.  I have begun unpacking from the move to the Really Nice, Unbelievably Inexpensive apartment.  I have started in on a pharmaceutical study that will give me the dough for three months' worth of bills... unfortunately, those months are last month, this month, and next month, and I won't get the money until next month, and am looking at a $5-600 shortage as a result.  Solvable, I think, but I have no solution yet.  I have decided to sell my old couch (we picked up an amazing, huge, free couch while moving) for $60; anyone who wants a couch is welcome to try and talk me down.  I have giggled at my drugged cat as he recovered from being neutered, and been relieved when he still trusted me and wanted to snuggle, and relieved again when, after a couple lethargic days, he went back to knocking over lamps and gnawing on my arm; things I discourage him from doing.  I have cancelled my WoW and Netflix for the time being, money being what it is, and developed an addiction to Echo Bazaar, which is free.

I have enjoyed my life, and I have lost sleep due to stress.

Good to hear you're making some progress on your book! Should I be expecting to see some more posted here soon? *puppy eyes*

and developed an addiction to Echo Bazaar, which is free. YOU TOO (isn't it crazily addictive)?? What's your username? (Mine's catepede.)

Dear God, I hope so! If I can just get Chapter Four (and the prologue) edited, I have everything up through Chapter Seven written, typed, and ready to post - and *most* of Chapters Eight through Twelve as well. I didn't realize until I checked just now that it's been ten months since my last Hellion Prince post!

My username on twitter is MattDoyleSmit, and I shall be adding you momentarily!

Well, I'VE noticed. :D I'll be looking forward to the next part!

Next part up! It is very brief, but the new prologue should be up tomorrow, and Chapter Five... soonish? Probably not tomorrow, I need to flesh it out.

prologue is up!

Back from the dead, and off to read them now!

Huzzah!

Chapter Five is finished, but I keep wanting to erase half of it and stick the rest onto the back end of Chapter Four, so that may take a week or so...
