Starting chapter 77

Lunch break here:  I am on chapter 77 and am stunned by what is happening.  I really didn't see this coming at all. This is where NOT outlining can be useful.I did a blog interview on world building. This is the first half of the blog:  http://bit.ly/OBXI1M  The second half will be posted in a few days.In the picture below I am staring at nothing.  I stare a lot before the typing starts.There is a reason there are no "author" reality shows.

About to start Chapter 75 ....all the odd numbers are Sadima.  She was born in the first chapter of Skin Hunger.  Her story has covered about 200 years so far.  I have no idea how this will end.  None. I know what I want to have happen. I don't think it can....maybe five more chapters to go?

Almost DONE....

Last week I was at Niagara falls, CA, teaching writing at an SCBWI conference held in a monastery. The people were wonderful, the sessions were amazing and the sound of the falls reminded me that water is invincible. I  am within a few weeks of finishing book #3 of a Resurrection of Magic. I am astounded by what is happening in Limori. 







Thanks to everyone signing up for early publication notification and the Limori stories I will write while you wait for the book to come out .  There...
