I&#8217;ve got several book projects in the pipeline, a couple that need to finished and off my desk before the end of the month, so I spent most of the day reading chapters for one of those projects and making some final edits where needed.

It&#8217;s really space opera, and the fact that it ends on a cliffhanger with much of the plot unresolved is maybe the best argument against my whole &#8220;no new books for 2010&#8221; pledge yet.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s that. Right now, I&#8217;m going to go to bed or watch <i>Lost<\/i> and <i>then<\/i> go to bed.
