    Someone gave my muse Viagra this week because it's still going strong. The end is near.

    Scenes to completion:
    - Security aboard the Shroudmoon Express
    * Major boss fight - Frost Wyrm (dead or undead... haven't decided if a ghost dragon or reanimated one is cooler... leaning toward ghost so people don't say ZOMG Game of Thrones rip off!)
    * Quest item drops which will serve as the foundation of book 3

    - Complete Charon's Library quest

    - Retrieve Mirae and bring her back to Haven (the one where people are alive)
    * Ritual Scene - Mirae Race Change

    - Brief intro to Pehrom's Wife and upgraded HQ security (Tie in to Book 4)

    - Turn in Thunderlord quest
    * Become a Thunderlord

    - Visit Zarentu with people rescued in dungeon.
    * Bump that rep!

    Charon: Not many people cross the rainbow bridge clutching their Balsac, or gripping their Longfellow. Good literature is hard to find. A single book's worth more than its weight in gold.
    Tako: *snorts* That's probably how I'll go out.
    Mel: They're authors.
    Tako: I knew that. *shifty eyes* I'm just saying it could be profitable.

    Whew... Just finished the last major combat. Now I just have to tie up loose ends, go back, and edit the hell out of the whole manuscript.

    From today's write:
    "I choose yes.
    So there it is. One dead boss, and now there's a way out of Freehaven. I wonder if anyone else has found one. I feel conflicted in a way that's hard to describe. The rational part of me knows I have to go back to the real world, but what's a cubical and a one woman apartment with a giant bean bag chair compared to living months, by the time the quest is complete, in a land full of magic, adventure and dragons? Of course I'll go home, but a quiet part of me wishes I didn't have to, or that there was no choice to be made.
    I look to Frobod. There's no question as to the choice he'll make, and I'm happy. He deserves to see his daughter, and who knows, after this kind of emergency, maybe he and his ex wife will find a way to get back together. I'll miss him when he goes, but then, as hard as it is to believe, I'll be going too. Back to Seattle, while Frobod will wake up somewhere in Las Vegas. Dare I return to visit Mirae if it means the possibility of being locked in once again? Part of me wants to. I think I will, because I like the thrill of living on the edge. Not of life and death, but at the edge where the mundane world meets twin universes, three if you count Hades, that are fantastic and never were."

    For some reason I really like that passage.

    Some days you write what feels like forever, check your word count, and discover you've only added 1,000 words. Other days like today, you're still going strong, casually check your word count, and realize you've already done 6,000.

    One more scene to go. Fighting!
