Boyd has been doing college shopping for our eldest, and as a result our household now has five working computers. We managed that once before, but it only lasted a few weeks. I sure hope we go for a longer run this time.
I have just finished the rough draft a story which I am currently calling “The Vizier’s Tale”. It clocked in at 18500-ish words, and is a romance set in a historical-ish setting that is not really middle/near eastern but is supposed to feel almost like it. I’m not 100% happy with that title, but previously I had no title at all, so now at least I can call it something. That title came about when I was nattering about the story to my daughter, and ended up explaining that in it, the Shah’s sinister and scheming advisor, is actually the hero.
Boyd has read a little bit of it and made comments, mostly on the order of “you seem to be rushing this”. :sigh: Perhaps that’s what I should have expected when I banged out that many words in less than a week?
Also this week the family visited the Ohio Caverns. Largest known cave complex in Ohio, apparently, but thats not saying much, and its famous not for it’s size, but for its color, which is, in fact, rather notable. Very pretty.
