By the time I go back on Saturday she will be eight weeks old, and well on her way to "eviscerator" status I'm learning to use a lure at the moment so I can fly her when she's an adult - scary and exciting all at once!

Floof was the exact word I was gonna use for that birdling.

Celebrated my first ever Father's Day.

Wife took me and her dad out for Breakfast, and then I spent the majority of the day reading to and spending time with my daughter. It was perfectly lovely.

I might have to put this in the whats messing with your groove thread!

I was asked to put my name in the hat for a 1 year lecturing position. We will see what happens. I have also won the Green card lottery so might have to seek employment in the USA.

Finished writing the first draft of a novel. Who knows if it will ever go anywhere but I've done it and I'm proud of myself for that.

Sort of on and off over the course of about a year. It is a sort of fantasy but definitely not high fantasy. It's set in this world and it's about an idiot from the 1800's sometime who accidentally sends himself back in time. It's called "The Perambulations of Mr Jeremy Pentwistle Esq." Currently sitting at around 94,000 words but I'm going through it to do some edity bits before I send some copies to early readers for thoughts.

And thanks!

Stop right there...you had me at the title. Perfect!

[Tiste Simeon]

Yeah, bit worried the title is the best part of it but hey, like I said I'm just happy to have actually sat down and finished it.

Finishing a piece of fiction is MEGA difficult. The editing will seem easy in comparison.

It's hard because you want to edit every time you open the document to write new bits. I have so many pieces of wiring unfinished because I can stop editing the existing chapters, and never get around to adding new chapters.

So congrats on that sir. A feat indeed.

It reminds me that Brent Weeks once had to crack open his source documents on his Way of Shadows books to start writing the new series in that world...and he found himself editing it....years after it's published. LOL

You should indeed be proud, it's quite a feat. Hell, just finishing any major piece of writing is a reward in and of itself, IMHO.

A few years ago I did Nanowrimo and afterwards turned that "novella" into a rough draft of a novel. I was so happy with myself, never mind that it'll never see the light of day.


Congrats!

Three nights away for a work conference. Two nights of early nights knowing there wouldn't be a child waking me up and one night where Party Liz was allowed out. Glad to know she's still alive and kicking. And then very much not alive and kicking the following day after 4hrs sleep.

And the weekend before we went to see Guns n Roses. Slash, Duff and Axl all on stage together. Hadn't realised I was quite such a super fan until compared to everyone around me in the crowd. They played most of Appetite For Destruction. I nearly died of happiness.

I am hoping that is a sneaky shot of shadowthrone. Otherwise you have some serious ghost issues on your hands.
