After several conversations with Reesa, what I think is the last chunk of Tiassa has fallen into place well enough that I can see where I’m going. I think. Maybe. For the moment. So I believe I’m on track to finish it. I have noticed that, with each of the last several books, I have pissed off some percentage of Vlad fans, and this makes me sad. So, with this book, I’m hoping to piss off all of them. I hate half measures.

Today I was at a Borders looking for Poker Pro magazine (on account of I’m in it, how cool is that?). While there, I, as usual, checked the sf section to see how well represented I was. I skimmed past the row Jim Butcher, found the row of Lois Bujold, and there I was. Two books.
Two lousy books.
Sad. Miserable. Depressed. I moped out of the store to my car, then stopped.
Two books? I have two books at Borders?
How many people do I know who would give their right cliche to have two books at Borders?
Man. I have BOOKS. In a BOOKSTORE. And there was my car, that I bought with money I got for WRITING BOOKS.
I drove home feeling much better.

Tiassa Update
It’s been pointed out to me that I’ve been slacking off on giving progress reports.
Tiassa is being difficult. Between conversations with Reesa and with Neil, I’ve been convinced to try something a bit challenging. I think it’s going to be really cool if it works, but at the moment I’m beating my head against it about halfway through. Judging by past experience, I imagine in a week or so things will fall into place and I’ll be moving forward.
Woohoo!
It seems that Cory Doctorow likes my book. I am happy. Praise from Caesar is praise indeed, as some Hungarian once said.
