Thanks for reading, and thanks for supporting my work.

Finally!

I've finally got this battle scene at the bridge finished.  I've been wrestling with it for a few days, and it's been slow going.  I initially had Shariel using a Reliant rifle (with bayonet) in the fight, but I switched that out for her usual Felid sword and an Agrarian rifle.  I also ended up changing some tactics and movements.  I ended up adding a couple thousand words, I think.  Anyway, it's done, and there's now a nice heap of mutilated bodies at the bridge, so I can move on.

In other news, Alasdair Shaw has announced the theme for his next anthology.  It's "The Renegade."  I already have an idea.  Once I finish this second draft of Mind Games, I'll work on the first draft of the short story I plan to submit to his anthology.

Keanu is the real deal

I recently watched John Wick for the first time.  Yeah, I know... I'm late to the party.  But I've seen it now, and seeing John Wick 2 is definitely in my future.

It was interesting to learn that Keanu Reeves has done some 3-gun training for the movie.  For those who don't know what "3-gun" is, it's a variety of shooting sport that involves pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooting on a timed course.  I've never done it myself, but it seems to be one of the more popular shooting sports nowadays.

Here's Keanu training 3-gun style:

Nice shooting, Mr. Wick.  Looking forward to the sequel.  :D
