I sometimes use music as ambient noise. I choose stuff I'm so familiar with that I don't really pay attention to it. Most of the time I don't play music at all, though.

I finished chapter 29 yesterday and I'm in chapter 30 now which is supposed to be the last chapter. Judging by all the things that need to happen it could be a long chapter. Maybe I'll end up splitting, but maybe not. Maybe a short epilogue or wrapping-it-up chapter too. Hmm... still very close, but maybe not quite as close as I thought.

“Not dead yet!”

eee! I was visiting the Smart Bitches Trashy Books and they had a video at the RWA literacy signing and GUESS WHO shows up! (for those who can't stand the suspense, it's our own Barb - with a shot of her lovely book cover)

And my glass of wine! Hee!

Amy, that review is so delicious! Like a slice of Key lime pie. She totally and completely got it!

I'm 2,000 words in my supposed last chapter. There are still a few more things I need to happen. Maybe 3,000 - 4,000 words away from the end.

Wow, Gud, you're so close!

Thanks. I'm at 3,000 words in the supposed last chapter now. I think I should have the time to finish it off this weekend.

“Not dead yet!”

I just posted to three different writer's loops, so let's see if you get any bites from there. Also, bebe, check your email-- just buzzed you about something.

Because books.

Barb, I sent you email a couple days ago, just FYI.

Rough draft of Cog is done. Now for the fixing up stage. I already changed a couple of character names.
