Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I used to have the Celebrity Jeopardies as MP3 files, back in the good'ol Napster days. Now I can't find them.

Suck It, Trebec!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm still figuring out how to revise and edit, myself. I do a fair amount as I go along, because I participate in a couple of critique groups and try to work in any of their suggestions that work for me while they're fresh in my mind. I like it because it keeps earlier parts of my story in the front part of my mind, which helps me be more consistent.

I think I'm pretty good with continuity. At least, I'm pretty good at picking stuff out in other people's work, so hopefully that will carry over to mine. I know I have to go back and change a line or two in Chapter 1 because a character that shows up in Chapter 2 is mentioned as if he's an acquaintence of the main character, but he ended up behaving more like a friend once I got around to writing him.

Once I have a completed draft, I'm going to try this method: [link] It looks sensible and efficient. I'll report back if it works.

Okay. Cool. I'll give that a read over when I'm not at work. (Yay for Buffistas simple black text on white, non-attention-grabbing style.)

Great feeling, isn't it? Do you ever visit the Great Write Way thread?

Yes.

You know, for some reason I had it merged with the fanfic thread in my mind, so I never visited. (Not slighting fanfic, I just don't read or write it, so I wouldn't have anything to contribute.) I will have to correct that, I think.

There's some on the Will Ferrell Best of SNL dvd, I think. On one of them, anyway. I keep meaning to buy it, and then not. As with so much in life.

Dear Universe,

Why do you hate me?

Sincerely,
me

Why do you hate me?

Because you touch yourself at night?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dear Universe,

Why do you hate me?

It's pre-con payment. Can't have fun without suffering for it in advance.

Signed,

I've been suffering for weeks, and now I think the Universe is just being hateful.

msbelle, is SUCK IT the new EAT IT?

no, it is just a variation. SUCK IT predates EAT IT.

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

I don't like today so far, mostly because I have a headache and it's just blah, but also because I just got a Target dress and some dvds delivered, and I want to go home and play with them all, and I can't.
