March is Here!

Gonna do the WIP update first. AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

Melee and Mayhem is all I'll be writing this month. I put on 22K words for the Third Act Climax of my next book, Shadows & Hounds (essentially Battle for Manalar: the Decisive Rematch AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

).
Lemme tell ya, it's a weird feeling when you're two months down and staring at a third one thinking:
"But I've written so much! The book is well over 500 pages and 135K words now! How am I still in this war??"
Answer: If Books 4-7 lead up to Book 8, then Book 10 has effects that cascade into Books 11-13.
This is a lynch-pin conflict and I need to make sure all the characters get to where they need to be and that I don't overlook anything, be it small-but-critical detail or inspirational opportunity. AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

I'm reasonably looking at a completed book sometime in April, though, so the magic and blood are coming! AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

Now for the kitty tax!

This is Cranberry. Not that she answers to that name, of course, but she was the best part of my week. AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

I was helping with some "deep cleaning" and found her hidden hoard of toys behind the TV. She was right there for it! "Hey! My stuff!" AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

Then I removed some couch cushions to give it a vacuum. She got there first and enjoyed some fine dining on the hidden snack tray before I had a chance to put on the right attachment. AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72

Sigh.

"What?? I'm cute!" - she says from the fuzziest blanket ever.
Yes. Yes, you are. AS ETASKI * March Melee, Mayhem! ???? A Smashing Book Sale. * 72
