I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

WIP it into high gear

Chapter 39 is in the bag. We added 1545 words bringing our total to 68650. Only three more chapters to go. Hopefully this weekend we'll be finished with the first draft. Unless the damn breaks and the waters rise.

Which has happened before.

And I probably just jinxed myself.

So tired. Must sleep. See you all when the sun is up again.

Hey,slow down, will you? I've had a broken thumb for a while and I'm having a hard time keeping up. Wait, you're only at 68,650??? Are you goofing off again? I may be only at 27,000, but if I splint my thumb or use voice to text I might catch up. Yeah, it's all down hill from here!

Seriously, man, congrats and keep it up! Hey, are you going to come to the Elder Signs Book release party? It's at Confusion in Troy, MI on the 23rd. If anyone else forgot to invite you, I'm inviting you.

Hey Rick, now way. Hell, I'm going slower than I like. Sorry about the thumb, but I think that falls under home field advantage.

Haven't been invited, yet. But I'll be at Confusion (I haven't heard if I'm a panelist or not this year), so I'll be there.
