News For Today

I think it's worth repeating as often as necessary and as many places as possible: Tales of MU is not ending. I am bringing the first volume of it to a close. Mackenzie's story will continue in Volume 2: Sophomore Effort.

I'm looking at ways to improve site navigation, and when I have that how I like I'm also going to be integrating the stories of Jamie and the Underworlders into the main site, so that those stories (and other semi-recurring ones like the folky tales and the story of Mackenzie's brother across the sea) can be browsed either independently or as part of the main archive.

The auction for the first ever printed copy of a Tales of MU book continues. It's up to $120 at the moment. I don't know how much higher I'd expect it to go, I've given up on trying to predict these things.

Personal Assessment

I don't even know what to say about my sleep cycle. It's not as bad as it's ever been, but it's not great. I suspect deadline stress from The Gift of the Bad Guy and all the new things I'm learning are probably contributing. I'm not staying awake all night. I'm not waking up again and again. But I'm not sleeping well. I went to bed floor early last night, feeling like I'd get a sound night's sleep. Didn't happen.

Random Link

Free jewelry drawing going on at Queen of the Cat People. I am the very happy owner of one of her Palimpsest-inspired choker necklaces.

Plans For Today

Are both nascent and inchoate.
