Because I'm me, I found this sweet and adorable, in addition to being a wonderful example of unreliable narration. It doesn't hurt that Renfield will be forever played by Tom Waits in my head.

And jeeze, what a lousy year for finishing books. I didn't even gorge on graphic novels to boost my numbers.

Not much writing to report. I finished The Bone Palace and saw it published, and have a chunk of Kingdoms of Dust written, though not nearly as much of one as I'd like. Running With the Pack kept the year from being a complete wash on short stories. Hopefully when Kingdoms is done I'll be able to finish one.

Other than that, I'm now furiously cleaning the house before friends come over, and then we're going out for drinks and whatever else we find. If I wear my adorable heels, there's sure to be walking and dancing. If I wear sensible boots we'll come home early.

Happy New Year!
