busyThis is the shape of my 2014, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you sometime in the months to come. I know I just did one of these posts, but there's been some updates, and I want to make sure I don't lose track of anything (remember, these are as much for me as they are for you).

Again, to clarify some recent confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, on both the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.
Look at that list. It's so shiny!

Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shaving razor's cold, and it stings."
Shaving razor?
Shaving razor?
Who says shaving razor?
WHY the specificity?
Clearly,the implication is that the protagonist has so many razors that they each are labelled with a purpose.
Shaving razor, camping razor, getting goo off mirrors razor, torment razor, defence razor, killing razor...
Gives a whole new insight on the character, don't it?
