It's official: as of tonight, Chimes at Midnight is properly and officially started. I've hammered through most of chapter one, I've established the initial conflict that kicks everything else off, and I've remembered why I am so damn in love with this world and the people that it contains. I know some people are frustrated by the fact that I've gone down to one Toby book a year to make room for InCryptid, and while I desperately hope that someday I'll be able to be full-time and write three urban fantasies a year, there's a beautiful homecoming aspect after having taken this long of a break that's just plain magical. It's like...this is where I wanted to be, and I barely even knew it. It's amazing.
Tomorrow night, I'll knock out another thousand or so words of the Rose Marshall story I'm working on (it's for an anthology), and then I'll finish chapter one of Chimes at Midnight. And then I'll probably cry, because here we go again.
Here we go again.

And speaking of Toby, I need to go fish that library copy of Rosemary and Rue out from where it fell and finish reading it...

you- you- you-
I think I'm going to go with "Excellent writer" because it's true. -snff- I liked her! I wanted to see more of her!
Also Devin you little sonnuva is going through my head right now. And WHOO MANUEL and -snff- Manuel needs a hug. Mostly incoherent but annoyed noises about Dare's death and hoping that Toby gets Gilly back in her life because she needs something unconditionally happy. Oh yes, and swearing at Devin, I knew he was an [expletives deleted] but I didn't think he would actually be the perp.
