excitedTotal words: 7,776.
Reason for stopping: I have finished chapter two, and need to get dressed.
Music: lots of dance club music.
The cats: all three of them are in the bed. It's freaky.
Chapter two is done! Chapter two is done! I really meant to be further along in this book by now, but, well...new kitten, major flu, Alice nearly dying, OryCon, and extensive revisions on One Salt Sea mucked things up a bit. I'm getting back on track, and the first step was getting this chapter locked down. What's that? Is that a finished chapter? Why yes, I do believe that it is. CHEESE AND CAKE!
I love the InCryptid setting. It manages to be incredibly grim and serious, and incredibly light and fluffy, all at the same time. I often say that if we're working with a seriousness scale of one to ten, with Newsflesh being an eight or nine, and Toby being a six or seven, InCryptid is a two or three (except when it's not). And wow, is it refreshing to be able to say "you know what? You don't want to hear me, you just want to dance."
I think I'm going to work up an end-of-book "cryptid handbook" for the published books, including the names of the various cryptid species, and short descriptions of same. This will help a lot, with a lot of things, including my firm desire not to completely re-explain the cuckoos in every single volume.
I'm so excited!
