Man, characters in The Walking Dead are idiots. Lucky most of ’em will wind up as zombie food anyway. Up to page 190 now. ~KJT, ready to re-watch Firefly now
Today I hit page 187. The end will come this week. ~KJT, utterly exhausted
Today I’m off to my writing place to get back to work on the final book. It’s now almost up to page 160, and a couple more good sessions should see it finished. I’ve been a bit tense and uncertain about how I’m going to feel about actually seeing the end of the series, but… {read more}
Well, it’s official. My birthday was yesterday, and I’m now 28 years old. The big 30, and the end of the series, loom ahead.
