The Enchanter's Theorem

You ever have one of those nights of sleep where when you wake up, you're even more tired, because you spent most of the sleep dreaming? Or so it seemed?

Yeah. One of those nights.

If it weren't for all the great material I got for Dark Lightning out of it, I'd be cross. But instead, I may be bleary, but I'm mildly perky. I've got new stuff for the novel!

The husband had burned a copy of the U2 concert in Brazil, the current Vertigo tour, and we spent the night watching it. Or he did and I took some time to read in between cuddling with the Mouse. She's been needing some serious Momma time, so it was a nice night.

Started a new short story yesterday, "Building Frank". First time I've touched anything remotely science fiction in years. Came from reading someone's blog in passing on how it was great "work therapy" to cast people that irked you as starship captains and aliens. Great point, I thought and even better when you can then kill off the ones that really irritate you. Which took me back to thinking about a story I literally haven't thought about in years and never finished, "Wildcard War". Which I keep coming back to.

So.

Looks like after I finish Dark Lightning and Broken Rainbow to finish out The Enchanter's Theorem Trilogy, Ardent and her crew finally will get a chance to tool around the galaxy again. It's kind of cool.

Oh, and "Building Frank" means that as of today, I now have three short stories to work on, which makes me very, very happy. I put together one more and I'll have four, which is the goal I gave myself for New Year's. Yay! At this point, I've got "Fortunes Told While You Wait", "Alice Assassin" and now "Building Frank". It's going to be very interesting to see what comes up next.

I've babbled enough for the morning. Hope your days all treat you well.
