Progress!

[elfs]

Come Hell and high water (devil and the deep blue see, Scylla and Charybdis) I was gonna hit 10,000 words yesterday and sure enough, I hit 10,017. Most of that was in the Caprice Starr series where Caprice's partner gets killed, the killer gets away (damn, hadn't planned on that, now I need to somehow fold her back into the plot), and Caprice has a new ally. I also finished the third Ruse Angel story. I also decided that two horrible novel fragments, Intersections (a really, really bad Amber pastiche that's been idle for ten years) and Saria (a modestly bad first contact story) are just dead and have sent them to their well deserved grave in the Subversion Attic.

Now I've had five hours of pretty decent sleep, and I need to figure out what I'm going to do with myself for the rest of the day.

The sad thing about this is that I have a huge collection of children's books and literature because of my wife. Under her influence I have read Belairs, Alexander, Cazet and innumerable others.I am going ot go ask my book dealer if he can track down the books you based those 4 stories and see if they are as good as yours.
