Back and Done

Back from Millennicon. Much fun! It's a small con, but I got to hang out with lots of great folks, some of whom I'd met before and others I hadn't yet encountered in person. I got Twittered by John Scalzi, renamed by Stephen Leigh, and proved once again that my jacket is far more famous than I'll ever be. I'm also pretty wiped, but I'll try to post a more interesting roundup later this week.

And in book news, the first draft of Red Hood's Revenge is done. It's the shortest first draft I've ever written, but it's done. There are several plot threads that need to be woven in, a lot of character development, and some plot issues to resolve. (Should ______ live or die? That would be nice to know at the end of the book, and I still haven't decided. Grumble...) But the draft is done, which means I can finally start to wrap my brain around the book as a whole and figure out how to actually bring the whole story together.

My process. Sloppy and ugly, but it gets the job done. Eventually.
