Dr. Catherine Schaff-Stump

I'm full of odds and ends on this Thursday morning.

Haircut tonight. After years of not really caring about my hair, Bryon has discovered he likes the colored dye thing. He's put in requests for white and blue on some occasion. So tonight, Margot and I will have the Ramona Flowers discussion, and we'll see what she thinks of sinking heavily into Cindy Laupnerville.

Yesterday, I hit 55.7K and finished through chapter 18 of the Troll story. I'm just about 60 pages from the end. After the 4th rewrite, it'll be good to go. I'll go through and do some editing, sharpening, and cutting. But I'm jazzed, because not only only is there light at the end of the tunnel, but there is also a hole big enough that I can crawl through.

My friend Catrina Horsfield and I are taking a summer trip in June to Finland and Norway for research for each of our novels (my sequel to troll, her wizards). I love planning itineraries, so expect much Norway blabbing in the future.

Viable Paradise friend Brent Bowen posts this inspiring piece for writers. It's a well-written thing worth the read.

Another post coming up. I have discovered I don't want to bury these things in that post.
