And no that's not a reference to anything vampire related. I have not (and I'm pretty sure I won't be) jumping on the vampire bandwagon anytime soon. But I have been going to sleep earlier and rising earlier, just like a vamp. Why? Because my brain works better in the morning. 
Yes, even at the ungodly hour of 3am. I can focus on my writing--I mean, really focus on the characters and the direction of the story. By 4pm I turn into a zombie (and, no, I won't be writing the undead into any of my stories either).
The road is clear for The Tusks of Odoben. I'm really getting excited because I can visualize the scenes leading up to a spectacular climax. If you've read The Silver Earth Seed and/or Deacon Leeds then you know I am a big fan of climactic battle scenes. My goal is for TTOO to build up to a point where it feels like everything is going to explode...and then it does: BOOM!
The clock is ticking...
I better hit the hay.
Till next time, keep reading and writing (and watching less TV).
