Victor, that punk memoir - yepyepyep. We really need to spend about nine hours hanging out and swapping some of these stories. Ah, the Clash in South London in 1979, with about ten other bands, playing the free, huge Rock Against Racism shows, to nail the National Front...
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Oh, yeah. That's a show I wish I'd have seen. I think I need to get back to SF for a spell, and this time not be on a whirlwind tour.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seconded.

And Perkins, insending shortly.

Letter to a ghost:
Are you bored yet? Bored with my dislocation, my endless groping for one bright strand of memory in yesterday's mists, my bottomless grinding need for clarity and resolution?
You are? All right, my darling. Then grant me a wish.
Give me back just one day. I swear I'd fit it all in: I would tell you I loved you, and prove it. I would take you back to bed with no apologies, with all the joy I possess. I would make you tell me why I shouldn't leave you.
Are you bored with the beggar, riding?

Yeah. "Ooof" pretty much sums it up.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
deb! I sent out my first batch of query letters today.
Nervous and excited and hopeful and realistic am I, all at the same time.

Allyson, you rock like a mad thing, you know that?
Let the games begin! And now we sit back, and see what comes of round one....

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
April is over. Since I restarted the wip in February, I'm three months in. As of tonight, I made it to p. 150, right where I want to be. Chapter Eight. Roughly 37K words. In my head the novel is split into three roughly equal acts, and I hit the end of Act I right around p. 130--perfect for my goal of a 400-page manuscript.
I feel good. And now I'm going to bed.
