… once I’ve walked it. That’s perhaps the single most important truth I know about my writing. Because of my perfectionist tendencies it’s been the hardest one for me to learn to live by. Learning to do so is probably the most important way I need to overcome my perfectionism. I was reminded of this today. I’m well [...] Okay, it wasn’t that adverse. It was hot enough, despite the swamp cooler, to wilt the cat. I looked like this too. And in spite of the heat I finished the massive chapter-by-chapter, scene-by-scene summary of The Dinosaur Lords. How massive? It’s 25,198 words by itself. All right. I know that news will frustrate some of you. [...] Yesterday was Critical Mass day. I love writers group. I always learn a bunch.

But I’ve at last hit the final milestone before writing those most blessed words of tongue or pen, The End!
Another, slightly creepier take on Hesperonychus. And after only six and a half years. [...] That’s not code or a euphemism or anything. Sorry. I just hate puzzles.
