Words: 2,211.
Total words: 4,089.
Reason for stopping: chapter one is finished! Time for So You Think You Can Dance.
Music: random shuffle, lots of Glee.
The cats: it's early yet, so they're off doing cat things.

Well, that's chapter one down. A little over 2,000 words for the night isn't awesome, but it's always slow-going in the beginning, when the story is just beginning to pick up steam and I'm still feeling my way into the situation. Honestly, just typing "chapter two" before closing the file made me want to weep for joy. I'm back. I'm in Toby's world, and I'm back. And more, I get to stay for at least three more books after this one, so I can unpack my things and really get comfortable.

There isn't too much I can say about what's going on, since Ashes of Honor isn't out yet and I try not to spoiler. But jam is involved, and also shirtlessness, coffee, and Toby not getting enough sleep. But isn't that always the way?

I'm back.

Go go go! I'm so excited. (Also reality tv is totally a good reason to stop writing. And I mean that sincerely since I'm a TV addict.)

EEeee I love all of your projects and I look forward to this one because MOAR TOBY is never a bed thing. :D (But of course, Ashes of Honor first. YAY!)

ALSO I pray to the Holy Mice that the shirtlessness is Tybalt's. *fangirl cough*

Yay! I'm so glad. The Feed books are brilliant and wonderful and clever and DAMN well written - but they're not Toby. I *love* Toby's world!

Hail to the Queen!

Now I want to see you wrestle a moose. (Alternately try and put moose antlers on one of the cats.)

From: [identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com
I probably could, and they'd probably let me, but then they'd sit there and look disgruntled.

Catmoose! The smaller, more disgruntled member of the hybrid moose family. Cuter than the Piranhamoose.

"October, why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

"Busy stopping the bleeding here, Tybalt!"

Sadly, that seems like a perfectly reasonable scenario for Toby.

From: [identity profile] dornbeast.livejournal.com
I know. At that point, the only question is who's bleeding.

But hey! Shirtlessness!

Whenever someone's bleeding in Toby's world, there's a 90% certainty that it's Toby.

FOUR more Toby books???
WOW! That's wonderful!
I'm looking forward to reading them !
Toby needs a sidekick or perhaps more of a pet that can travel about with her. Perhaps the rose goblin grows bigger?
:]

Toby needs a sidekick...

She has a squire now. Aren't squires better than sidekicks?

I was thinking a bit less serious than a squire.

I imagine Cagney and Lacey are always grateful for their pet changeling being home between books. I also imagine that Toby's caffeine consumption doesn't decrease any even when she's not actively about to get killed by something horrible.

Oh goodness, that reminded me of the t-shirts. I can hardly wait. No, that's not a whine, it's a "happy anticipation for something good" kinda thing. :)

I, too, look forward to getting to hang around Toby's world for several more books. Many bad things may happen there, but it's still a good place for me.

Having only just (finally!) gotten around to this series -- I'm kind of mainlining them, and am about halfway into An Artificial Night, and have the others that are out on my book stack waiting -- this is super exciting.

Also, awesome icon is awesome.

Thanks! It makes me happy (not least because the coyote pictured was swiftly rescued from having a jar stuck on its head).
