Over at Genreality, Lynn Viehl has posted another royalty statement for her top-20 New York Times bestseller, Twilight Fall. Well worth a look if you’re planning to sell fiction to a traditional publisher. To date, she’s received a $50,000 advance, but no royalties.

Back to updating. Tonight I’ve added a new section of William Morris’ epic fantasy poem Sigurd the Volsung.In this scene, Sigurd meets Brynhild at Lymdale.
And now I’m going to work on Winter for a bit.

The last month has included multiple root canals and other major dental work to deal with infected teeth, influenza threatening to become bronchitis, and a sinus infection. Presently I’m dealing with the tag end of the flu, and the sinus infection.
I haven’t had the flu in any way worth mentioning since contracting the Hong Kong flu in 1968. With any luck, this bout will set me up with effective immunity for the next forty years.
My goal this weekend is to get back to working on The Winds of Winter, and to resume adding sections of Sigurd the Volsung.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Hi, everyone. I haven’t abandoned the blog. I got the flu, and I’ve been taking a vacation from the computer for the first time in more than a decade. I’ll probably be back next week.
