A pleasingly productive day

In which I did some heavy editing of yesterdays chapter, filed the gay/cowboy bar bit which I thouht wasn't too good, but which m'darlin' Alibongo says is fine (thanks for reading, hon!) and wrote another 1, 937 words about the Devil Bird, aka Napoleon the Rooster of Beelzebub, and hitching rides in Cuba (all very regimented and efficient in a lacklustre, lazy, Cuban sort of a way).

Meaning, I am now...
Past the halfway mark! Yay! - Assuming the thing stays at 90,000 words, which I'm starting to doubt.

In other news, it snowed a bit, I went out for a bracing walk and got an email from Maria!!! O:!

Maria is my fellow traveller (in so many ways ::BG::) in the very book I'm writing right now. I haven't heard from her in years, and right when I'm writing this book, the very day after I rooted out old pictures of the gurl (cos I was feeling all nostalgic an' that), she emails, right out of the blue.

I feel the psychic vibes are strong, right now.

She's living in Peru, the jammy cow. Here's a picture of her from when we were in Camaguey and this was our local store.

And posting Wind Whispering and Chasing Rainbows to 852 has been nothing but a joy; I've been getting really beautiful feedback since I did, and not a sniff of a complaint that (whisper it oh so quietly) they're neither of them, really slash.

Glad to hear that the feedback from 852 has been good!

Well, the I guess the slash is in the eye of the beholder. *g* And you labelled it as pre-slash, so there's really nothing to complain about.
