Monday Awesomeness Alert and Book Two Status Update

First off, if you haven't watched Jodi DiPiazza and Katy Perry singing "Firework" on Jon Stewart's Night of Too Many Stars, go and do that now.

Wasn't that amazing?

So Book Two is coming along. I've drafted about 4000 words so far, some of which will get cut, re-written, or otherwised sliced up and used as digital confetti (totally environmentally friendly, I promise). I find that I'm falling into a self-editing mode more often than I want to, which is slowing things up, but as I get further into the story I think I'll be able to ignore that inner critic's voice with a bit more regularity. That's my hope, anyway. Wish me luck!
