Cut about six pages of crap that wasn’t working, which pissed me off. Then dithered around writing bits and pieces of personal emails and rants. Those, at least, did not piss me off. Where’s my whiskey?

I actually wrote the last scene of the book tonight, which was weird. It’s so strange to write a book so completely out of order. I did the same with GW, but not to this extent. It’s funny to be so close that you can taste it, but you still have to write about 5k

Typo of the day vile – for – phial I seemed to be absolutely convinced of this spelling. I wrote it as “vile” four times. Lazy phrase of the day (used at least four times in forty pages) “His eyes looked too big.” Seriously?

Seriously, I can’t believe I just did that to Nyx after everything I just did to everybody in this stupid book. The next book will be so much better. The “good” guys will actually “win”! …. sort of!…. in a roundabout way!! It’s like The Dark Knight of the series. Or the Empire Strikes Back

I was in the middle of writing a scene between Rhys and Yah Tayyib this morning, and realized how novel it was, writing a scene between two men in the God’s War universe. And then I realized they were talking about a woman. Heh heh.

bel dames = bed dames

Hoping to squeeze out a little more tonight. Close enough to fucking taste it, but there’s no way I’m going to be able to write my Big Bad Fight Scene Finale and denouement tonight. It’s coming, tho. Oh boy, it’s coming.
