New Projects
Broke the 7,000 word mark on A Time For Dying, which suggests the concept might be one larger than a short story. I could be wrong about that, however; the coming weeks will reveal more. If the manuscript reaches 15,000 words, and feels like the characters want more, then perhaps it is the stuff of a book. Ultimately, I’ll let the story dictate the form.
Could see working on this while implementing The Eight’s recommendations to the novel, so at worst, it’s a nice side project. Some distractions are good. 😉
Never say die
When a country exhausts cemetery space and declares cremation is illegal, where do officials go with dead citizens? They draft plans outlawing death.
Under the bill, those who die suffer no penalties. Now there’s some sharp legislation teeth.
This is the nifty thing about government: passing laws is cheap – no matter how ridiculous – and voters rarely hold leaders accountable poor or nonexistent enforcement. And that’s about all the politics my stomach can take for the next six months.
Caffeine Overdose
Ever wondered what the lethal dose of your favorite caffeinated beverage is?
NOTE: To the Canadian contingent, Tim Horton’s is not on the list.
