Many more to come, I hope. Now the stage is set for me to set the stage, which will carry us through the end of Three Arrivals. That should take about two months.

In terms of readership, we’re holding steady at about five (but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Even if that step is just walking over to the car). I’m gonna kick the self-promotion engine into high gear over the weekend (except I don’t really run in all that many circles I haven’t mentioned it in already, so tell your friends).

In other news, I turned the registration requirement for commenting off, and I will be upping my pace of writing quite a bit. I’m going to be traveling from August until about the end of the year, and I’d rather not have to worry about writing two a week while I’m off trying to enjoy myself. My pie-in-the-sky goal is a buffer of 32 on August 25th, but that doesn’t seem likely to happen–right now I’m nine ahead, so I’d have to double my pace and maintain that for eight weeks, and I’m not sure I’ve got that much writing I’d be willing to post in me. More likely, I’ll end up a bit short, and I’ll just keep going until the buffer plus whatever I do manage to write runs out, and we’ll take a December break or somesuch.
