I've set myself an acheivable goal of 400 words a day, aiming to get a first draft of Ante Body complete in six months. I've been able to keep it the last few days, and even though it's short (1k words), Chapter 2 is done! Now I have to keep up. I feel a little like Garratty in Bachman (Stephen King)'s chilling story The Long Walk. Can't lag behind...
My arms are healing nicely, so I'll be able to write more.
Using my pocket PC, I've also put together a 500 word sf story to submit to Infinitas, that I've called Reboot. I tried to create a dystopian future too terrible to comprehend. In a manner of speaking. Once I sync my PCs tonight I'll get it critiqued and sent.
My brother (whose birthday was yesterday) got around to reading Moving Dad. He said it was "Good. Wierd, but good". He's the only other person capable of seeing my Dad in it, and he certainly did.
My good friend Christian Girard has started writing again. We co wrote some just-for-fun fantasy fic in the early 90's, and it's great to see him putting words down again.

I would have thought "typing" (i.e. with a stylus) on a PDA would have agrivated your arms more than typing on a full sized keyboard but what do I know, I aint no doctor.
By the way, I've uploaded some pictures of the alpacas on to my website if you're interested :)
Hey, sorry for the spam, I just read Predisposed and loved it...great work!
Good work with the novel. You'll get there (or at least to the dreaded middle).
Also, congrats to both yourself and your friend on the Shadowbox acceptances!
I'm working on my Outcast submission, but am having second thoughts about submitting there. I'm thinking about sending my story to sci-fi.com (gulp!) when it's done, instead. I'll let you know what I decide.
