I did a bad, bad thing. Also, Thai spam this time.

I’ve been a bad, bad, boy. No, I wasn’t careless with a delicate girl. (IYKYK) I committed a writing sin. Instead of writing on my draft (currently at 83,448 words),…

I’ve been a bad, bad, boy. No, I wasn’t careless with a delicate girl. (IYKYK)

I committed a writing sin. Instead of writing on my draft (currently at 83,448 words), I wrote a scene sketch from a future book in the series.

I know, I’m sorry. But the scene came to me and if I don’t write it down I’ll forget it.

It’s tough enough to find an hour or two to write after a full day’s work. And I used the time on something from book, um, 4? or maybe 5. We’ll see. I’m still working on titles and concepts for the series that far out.

Anyway, no word count update or context-free excerpt today.

Good news, everyone!

The comment spammers tried from a new IP last night. This time it was registered in Thailand.

And you know what we do here when they try to spam us from a new country – post that country’s page from my Countries of the World word search book. (Available on Amazon and Ingram Spark. Drop a comment on the blog or reply to this post and I can cut you a deal on Ingram Spark.)

I’m writing this while I wait for the Scribus file to load so I can export the Thailand page. The file’s only 6MB, but it refers to, based on the PDF output, 600+MB of graphics, text, etc. Seriously, it’s a doorstopper. Here’s the Thailand page:

And here are the links to buy, if you’re so inclined.

I did add a reCaptcha to the comment page, so hopefully this will stop the spam. We’ll see. This reCaptcha uses scoring rather than “Click here to prove you’re not a robot.”
