Because Brian double-triple-dog-cat dared me. EXT.BALCONY – EVENING DENNYCAT and ALANCAT are sitting on the balcony sniffing catnip and eating tuna. AlanCat is also washing, with a smug air. DENNYCAT That was a great trial. We kicked their mangy asses! ALANCAT...

I have bronchitis and have for two weeks, so in lieu of actual content, you get linky goodness. Max Adams is reading for the Nicholl again. She has advice from the trenches that should be obvious (but obviously isn’t) on brads, humor, and action. Also, Script...

I just dropped the hurricane story into the Critters queue. Word count: 10,946. It’ll probably grow after Critters is done with it. I also put a warning on the story for “content that may offend some readers and some *@(#&@% swearing.”...

The hurricane story is approaching a condition where it’s ready for Critters. It may be ready now, but Brian said he’d peek at it and tell me what he thought of the changes. It behooves me to dawdle, because it’ll take about a month to get through...
