My production level is increasing, but sadly my publishing/sale rate hasn't increased along with it. I know that it takes time, but I've been feeling impatient. ;)

That said, I was having fun this morning tying together threads from my Seattle Crossroads stories together in order to create the sample city for the Crossroads RPG. I've learned that I really love this city, which is kind of a weird thought. Am I a Seattle writer?

I have a couple of crime stories in my head I'm going to try to do as well. Branch out as it were.

Lisa brought me home chai yesterday and I wrote like a banshee. All that caffeine hopped me up like a drugged race horse and I went like crazy. I know that drinking a lot of caffeine is bad for you and I am trying to be more healthy, but then I look at the page count from yesterday and I think maybe Starbucks ain't so bad.

I finished the first draft of "Darkness Beyond the Stars." It clocks in at roughly 10 thousand words. It contains two old favorites: Marguerite Sanchez and Ruthie Jones. I think I’ve written and rewritten the meeting of these two characters at least three different times. I added in the ever popular Rooster Brown and changed the setting somewhat. I think it turned out pretty good. Mostly, I just need to go over it again and fine tune some of the text. Also, I’m not happy with the title. I don’t think it fits the story as much as I imagined, even though I love that title. I’m working on something new. I have some time before my deadline.

“The Strange Shell Game of the Undead Alchemist" has hit a wall. I’m working a little bit on the outline of the mystery.
