January.
Lists of dubious interest to anyone but myself.  But my life is full of tiny amnesiac moments when I look back and say what the hell have I been spending my time on?

Books read in January (all urban fantasy, no matter what they're marketed as.)

Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Jennifer Rardin
Another One Bites the Dust - Jennifer Rardin
Biting the Bullet - Jennifer Rardin
Bitten to Death - Jennifer Rardin
Plum Spooky - Janet Evanovich
Vicious Circle - Mike Carey
Blood Sins - Kay Hooper
Black Oak: Winter Knight - Charles L Grant
Unfallen Dead - Mark Del Franco

What I have to show for myself:
A first pass revision of Dead & Gone.  There will be others, I am sure.
A proposal/synopsis written for A Winter's Tale (Hey, considering how much I sweat these things, it's definitely an accomplishment)
12K words on the pet project novel Such Deliberate Disguises AKA Beasts, bringing me to 58K.
A whopping 500 words on the story that's becoming the bane of my existence: Burlesque Girl Golems.  I just have expectations of it, y'know. 
A sketched out outline, extraordinarily rough, but with a beginning, middle, end of Lives Light as Thistledown.  Soon to be turned into something looking more like a synopsis. 

Life in general:
A trip to Indianapolis to help KM move.  A lot of fun, despite the incredibly steep stairwell (21 steps to the bottom!  An apartment full of books! You do the math!).  DocMock came also and it was sort of the three musketeers reunion.  If the 3 musketeers moved a lot of boxes and rewarded themselves with cake frequently instead of randomly challenging people to duels.

Not to be Zippy the Pinhead, but: Burlesque Girl Golems! Burlesque Girl Golems! Burlesque Girl Golems!

Phew. Thanks.

I KNOW! The moment the phrase crossed my mind, and god only knows why it did, I had to use it for something. Now, if only the story would cooperate and take useful shape.

When you list it all out like that, it sounds impressive!

Until I think that yeah, I'll be revising D&G again, and the synopsis, and it'll all be a ditto next month. I really really want to get Beasts done in Feb. Then I can decide what to do with it.

Yay for Beasts by the end of the month. I'll be finishing Pax, and I think Kij was hoping for a draft of Kylen done around that time. We'll have us a party in March when we're all there.

I challenge you to a duel - snow shovels at dawn. We meet at Evil Cardinal Commons (that pretty little park area just down the street, ok it's an intersection). En Garde!

What happy pictures you paint. I am entertained. Live the absurd! Km

Can you imagine the damage I could do to myself with a snow shovel?! I think I'll stick to thrown marshmallow guerilla wars. I'm better at that. :) Viva la revolucion!
