escape from Japan

[devi]

Just now, finally, in a sudden burst fuelled by some brilliant driving music, three months after I originally thought I'd be done, I have written the last bit of text for Strange Characters. When I started, I thought I'd just have to write a few connecting paragraphs. Turns out that what I wrote between January and now is as long as all the stuff I wrote on the trip. The whole thing is just over 60,000 words, though I'll probably have to cut some waffle out. I am totally boogieing at my desk right now.

Nice job. Quite synchronously, I read this just as I'm on my way to unplug the computer from the g*dd*mn internet and take it upstairs into my room to get my novel started...

Has it got a name yet?

Not really, but judging from what I wrote last night the working title would have to be Slave of the Spider God: A Love Story.
