After getting home from watching "What the *&%! Do We Know Anyway?" last night with
adamaker, his roomie Jack,
solan_t,
verminiusrex,
roya_spirit, and her boy J., I couldn't help but go home and work on Empire Ship. Mind-stimulation plus, well, a whole lotta caffeine does that to a guy. Progress:
. Listened to Morphine, Nick Cave, and Skinny Puppy to get into the proper mood.
. Went back through some old scenes with two characters and revised a bit per some thinking about them.
. Wrote an important, new scene.
. Word count up to 107,180 105,260 from last update of 99,840: a gain of about 2000 words. That's cool, especially considering this was a teaching day, an evening of socializing and seeing a movie, and I hadn't expected to write!
. Page count up to 350 from last update of 345.
Plus I got to talk to my girl last night. She's home in 8 days and counting!

Congratulations to Tor's World Fantasy Award Nominees!
Then two columns, Best Novel and Best Anthology, each with two books. Yours is even nicely centered on the page, and has the starred Publisher's Weekly quote from the previous novel (go figure): "[The Fox Woman] captures the atmosphere of Japan's old courts while avoiding ostentation. This is only Johnson's first novel, but it establishes her as one of SF's most remarkable sylists."
Heee!
