Hi all,
Here’s a sneak preview of a bit more of the Last Gladiator! Enjoy!
The twisting series of hallways soon lead to a massive banquet room. Huge columns, so large ten men couldn’t fit their arms around one, held up a steel and marble ceiling, plastered and decorated with beautiful paintings of angels and gods. Servants in the same red and black tunics and white trousers wove through the crowd, like fishing vessels plying their trade. A nibble from a guest here, a nibble there, and the vessels would return to port to reload their silver trays with tiny morsels of food.
“Will we not be dining in the triclinium?” She asked, partially confused. The Imperial house wouldn’t make the most powerful members of the realm eat on benches and tables like the ludus, would they? Mergovin chuckled.
“I don’t think so. It’s different when your banquet is for, oh, five hundred people.” Women in puffy dresses with a strangely military uniform cut glided by, men in formal tunics with layers of embroidery and jewelry escorting them with bent arm. The diversity of styles and people here was intense. She had expected just nobility, but looking around she could see at least twenty familiar faces from the newsrags, including prominent industrialists and merchants. For a moment, she saw a familiar face from Neapolis, but she quickly guided Mergovin in a different direction. She could not mistake that nose, that hairstyle, that scar…Lucia repressed a shudder of fear.
Who is Lucia seeing? What does it mean? We’ll have to find out later!

Hi all,
Here’s another Year of Accountability posting! Last week’s goals were…
1.) Get to 27,000 words in the Last Gladiator.
2.) Continue to tweet daily about my books.
3.) Get into another event / convention & be confirmed for this!
How’d I do?
Well, I definitely didn’t tweet daily about my books, but I am continuing to tweet! I’ve managed to get to 27,000 words in the Last Gladiator, so that’s also awesome. I’m still waiting to be confirmed for the Gaithersburg Book Festival, but I was confirmed for the Maryland Renaissance Festival, so I’ll be attending at least one event this year (Hurray!).
Otherwise, my new goal is to reach 30,000 this week. I really want to be able to focus on that and get it done.
In other news, I’ve upgraded my internet and such, so I’ll be able to do work and research must faster than I’ve been used to. Which is a benefit outside what I was expecting!
Goals:

The Year of Accountability rolls on. Now to take the next step! 
After the success of our last accountability post I’m really liking how the community helps make sure I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing!
Onto this week’s goals:
Goal: 24,000 Words in The Last Gladiator. This will put me roughly 2 weeks from an ETA on completing the novella.
Goal: Order cover art for The Last Gladiator.
Goal: Register for an event – The Gaithersburg Book Festival!
To be fair, this last one is sort of cheating, as I’ve already sent in the paperwork, but I’m still waiting to hear if I’ve secured a spot.
Ciao! Let’s get typing!

Good morning! Welcome to a new series of articles where I’ll post my goals to be accountable with my writing and share the results! What’s the final goal? Two novellas before summer? Are you sure you can do this (asks the little voice in my head). Yes, I am. Here we go!

Hi all,
Unfortunately I’ve been falling behind on my goals – November is a massive crunch time for me this year, with school things, Warhammer Club and Tournament things, plus now D&D things keeping me busy. I’m still going to finish this novella, but I’m falling behind in my goals. Never-the-less, here’s some updated writing!
