Nearly there...

'Beside an open window' is now at either 72,000 or 75,000 words (depending on which of my two versions of Open Office you believe). More importantly, the story is approaching its resolution and is likely to be finished by the end of September. Once that's done, I'll start work on a brand new metaverse fiction project that I've been turning over in my head for several months now. Stay tuned for an anouncement!
