So that was funny, huh? How I thought I'd give weekly updates? The end of April featured three visiting artists at my university, and then finals and attendant grading. Writing did not progress apace.

BUT--now that May is here I am cranking it out. I'm aiming for a couple of thousand words a day, and have been making it nearly every time. Since last I saw you, Mad Dogs and Englishmen has increased by about 13,000 words, but almost all of that has been since the 4th of May.

Since we last spoke, murder has interrupted a wedding, Reggie has gotten himself in the doghouse with his lady-love, and a cantankerous food critic has nearly come to fisticuffs with a renowned chef. Also, someone is hunting werewolves on the grounds. The police have just arrived, and the full moon is tonight.

Project: Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Word Count Goal: Approx. 60,000
Word Count to Date: 33, 831

I will continue to update, but I make no promises as to when.
