real writer

Okay. now I'm actually writing.

Sort of. I have about a dozen 750-word articles due at the end of the month for an upcoming TRO (Technical ReadOut -- a reference book for players of Classic BattleTech which provides detailed information about various weapons, vehicles, and other devices available to armies of the 31st century. Essential reading if you're going to equip your team effectively.) I will knock those out the week of the 24th.

Between now and then -- and from the 28th through November 4 -- I will be working exclusively on my own original project. No contract. No known income. No target market. Not even an agent at this point. Just me and the trusty laptop toiling away. Not a place I'm at all used to.
