I know chapter 12 is finally complete...

and live on SaltwaterWitch.com. I have storyboarded some of chapter 13 and I will get to drawing and painting it as soon as I can. Readercon is just around the corner and for all the writers and readers at the con there isn't a lot of writing or drawing or reading time--as you'd expect. I just finished up something short that will be published next year--can't say any more about this for now, but the editor loved it. I also have a book to finish, and I'm not very far from the end. Actually I've already written the ending, which is a standard part of my book-writing process. I get about two-thirds to halfway through the story and then I write the ending--as much as I know of it at the time. That gives me a stake in the ground that I will then work toward.

So that's where I am.

(Although a herd of crows sounds like it could be more dangerous to humans, especially if they stampede). The crows were already tearing open the packets to get at the ketchup and I just parked and watched them for a while....
