Life will have its way with your pride, son

Today has not been the world's most productive, from a writing standpoint. In my defense, the husband and I had errands to run, and then we had snow - which was both frightening and delightful to Greyson, depending on when you caught him.

His first instinct was to bark at it. Second was to hide from it. Third was to eat it, and after that, he was free to romp in it.





So I've been kind of distracted, but I still managed to squeeze out a few words. Just a few. I wouldn't get too excited, if I were you.

So here’s an update on my comic/sci-fi young adult project where a girl becomes a ninja and fights aliens with much ass-kicking and many LOLs but not a whole lot of kissing (or any kissing, to be frank) plus BONUS Bruce Lee’s ghost, a vintage Thunderbird, zenlightenment on the fly, and fat stacks of Cool Ranch Doritos.
Project: Ninja Planet
Deadline: Sooner rather than later
New words written: 668 (yeah, I know - but it's better than none)
Present total word count: 43,713 words
