Well, I made up for writing so much on Sunday, by only writing 660 words yesterday (Monday). But that got me to the end of a scene and I needed to wait until today to move along to the next scene. I'm hoping that Chapter Twelve will be done on Friday. That will leave me one (!) chapter away from the ending.
I was a little surprised, and slightly annoyed, yesterday to discover that Low Red Moon is already slightly longer than Threshold. I guess that's good news to anyone who wished the latter had been a longer novel, but I was really trying hard to bring Low Red Moon in at roughly the same length. Now, though, I'm guessing it will run maybe 15,000 words longer.
I keep getting e-mails from people asking "What's your favorite blah-blah-blah?" We'll, okay, they don't actually say "blah-blah-blah," but you know what I mean. So, I thought I'd type up a silly little list to address a few such questions:
1. Favorite Candy: a tie between Starburst Jelly Beans and LifeSavers Creme Savers (Strawberry)
2. Favorite Drink (non-alcoholic): At the moment, Sobe Power ("Who's Your Lizard?").
3. Favorite Drink (alcoholic): a tie between Cosmopolitans (thank you, Doug Winter) and Mari Mayans absinthe.
4. Favorite Cartoon: Samurai Jack.
5. Favorite Comic: Gloomcookie.
6. Favorite Vegetable: artichoke (even though they bite), with avacado a close second.
7. Favorite CD: Of course, this changes from week to week, sometimes from day to day, but today it's Chrome by Catherine Wheel.
8. Favorite Band: Radiohead.
9. Favorite Television Show: Farscape.
10. Favorite Farscape Character: Chiana.
11. Favorite Farscape Episode Focusing on Chiana: "A Clockwork Nebari"
12. Favorite "Horror" Film: John Carpenter's The Thing.
13. Favorite David Lynch Film: Lost Highway.
14. Favorite Tim Burton Film: Sleepy Hollow, with the short Vincent as
runner-up.
15. Favorite Actor: Christopher Walken (again, this changes day-to-day).
16. Favorite Actress: Katharine Hepburn.
17. Favorite H. P. Lovecraft Story: "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."
18. Favorite Fabric: Latex.
19. Favorite Dr. Seuss Book: McElligot's Pool.
20. Favorite Sanrio Character: Nyago.
I think that's enough for now. Maybe more some other day when I'm this bored and desperately looking for a way to put off the writing.
