Shadow of Vengeance - Mai and Whisper
I pulled out SHADOW OF VENGEANCE last night. I was thinking I'd read it really quick, and revise its sequel while the whole thing was in my head, and then probably write the last book. Fortunately the plot is okay, but the prose...

[info]jmeadows: it just bounces from thought to thought
[info]jmeadows: *whine*
[info]jmeadows: *pokes*
[info]amberdine : o.o
[info]jmeadows: it used to be better than this o.o
[info]amberdine : hee!
[info]amberdine : That always happens
[info]amberdine : you write something, you get better, you look back at the older stuff and wonder how you ever thought it was okay
[info]amberdine : and then, if you like, you can get stuck in an infinite revision loop
[info]jmeadows: yeah
[info]amberdine : like someone we know *cough[info]everyonesakittycough*
[info]jmeadows: I was just thinking how it may be necessary to revise every book at least once a year
[info]amberdine : You can release updates!
[info]amberdine : Like software!
[info]jmeadows: hee, yes
[info]amberdine : SoV 2.1!
[info]jmeadows: LOL
[info]jmeadows: I'm on 4.4 already!

Reviews: Er, I meant to, but there was lots of Stargate. Lots and lots of Stargate...

Prayer: Father, please be with J and her family, S and her family, and M and her family.

Ferret Adventures: Simon got to visit Kippy today. He pounced her, and they wrestled for a little bit before she got around to ignoring him.

Kippy Adventures: Kippy only wants to sit with me. She could sit with Jeff, but why, when I'm the one with the blankets?

Words needed a day to make March 25 deadline: 1893

Make yesterday's words a day: barely!
Reach 95k: no! but almost!

Um, there wasn't much working today. There was lots of Stargate, as I said above. And when there is Stargate, there is crocheting. So I finished a blanket, and watched spaceships explode.

I expect the whole goal thing is going to end up with me working extra hard this week in order to finish next Sunday. (Not tomorrow, or the Sunday after. the 25th.)

However, I have been brain-eaten by another story. Newer friends, yes, this happens...at least once a month.

When sharing this with my pfriends, this is what happened. cut for length and extreme silliness )

It's good to have such supportive pfriends...

(W)ords and (W)ardances

In which I go on and on about writing and ferrets. And my cat. And yarn. And whatever else I happen to think of.
