They say that things can just get better, and they probably will

Here's today's progress on my witchy art-deco horror novel about Lizzie Borden thirty years after her parents' deaths - now featuring ghosts and non-ghosts alike, anti-Catholic conspiracy nuts, supernatural political shenanigans, the mafia, and a Bonus! space-worshiping murder cult hiding behind the KKK:
Project: Chapelwood
Deadline: October 1, 2014
New words written: 2619 (good)
Present total word count: 30,168



Things accomplished in fiction: Something strange is going on in storage room number six.

Next up: Something uncanny has been sitting in the old file room, for lo these many years. It's a familiar face, and it shouldn't be there. It shouldn't be anywhere.

Things accomplished in real life: Neighborhood jaunt with dog; lunch with husband; not much else. But we're about to take Greyson to the dog park, so there's that.

Other: Here's what Amazing Stories had to say about Fiddlehead . It's so flattering as to be almost embarrassing...not like that will stop me from sharing it, natch.

Number of fiction words so far this year: 63,579
