42. Forty-two. Yup.
"But nothing can get you lost faster than a map." - Percival Everett, after a lengthy discussion of how he has to outline every paragraph of every chapter of every book
Prose is my one true escape in life. If I only had more time to get away...
People who know me call me an optimist; people who know me well call me an optimistic cynic. I love being an oxymoron...
"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." - Bob Dylan
"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams
Life is a wonderful high, and it has no ill side effects. Except death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sailors with extra thumbs, a quiet warrior woman and a stoic wizardess, a small boy and a wry captain, a mysterious magic relic that only a woman can touch, and lots and lots of terrifying seagulls. And the most magical thing of all is that this is a story that is actually finished! So if you want to read a fantasy novella on the high seas, take a peak at A Pearl From the Chaos!

Check out my novel in progress, Ironink. Or one of them, at least:

If you like the Bermuda Triangle, check out my 2007 NaNoWriMo story in progress...

Bloody-Ink on October 25I'm using the yWriter5 program as well! I've been using it for a while but I'm still not sure if it is going to do more good than not in the end. Lol. I was surprised that lots of people acutally do that kind of stuff, I usually just type it up when I think of it.
