As of today chapter 11, which turned out to be a monster of more than 9200 words, is with my editor. I wish her (and myself) luck; we're going to need it.

Totally unrelated thought of the day, triggered by radio news and fouilletons filled with the upcoming book release:

Would Harry Potter be as hilariously popular as he is, if his name were Harald Töpfer?

I used to get scared whenever my great grandmother spoke in Polish to me, different languages just sound so weird at first xD But I think HP would still be popular just because, you know, wizards and wands and prophecy mumbo jumbo turns people wild 8D I guess 8D? No idea.

I already read the HP spoilers and as a result I'm more looking forward to ch.11 than I am to book 7 XD

Not sure about the wizards and wands and all. The HP cult surely acts like a repellent for me. *ugh*

Yes, but you tend to place a very high value on logic and consistency. ;)

...you do know that you're telling that to somebody writing about "a carnivorous cherry tree having amorous issues", do you? ;)

Seriously, it's not the books per se that repel me, but the "events" staged around them. It's ridiculous to the point of obnoxiousness what happens around a release in the media and downtown.
