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

Whoohoo!

I finished my Matty chapter segment, turned the big "you made this happen, you get to fix, and you do it right OR ELSE!" corner in the story, and can now read tomorrow night, secure in my own smug virtue.

If I only had a brain...

t borrows Deb's smug virtue and runs off with it

Betsy, if it sucks (the chapter segment, not the smug virtue), you need to tell me.

Rest assured, I would. I just could use some smugness, wasn't commenting on the work.

Oh, you may have *all* my smugness. Not really using it anyway...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Deb, so you want me to do a quick read tonight with feedback later or tomorrow morning?

I think I may try to partake of the NaNoWriMo. Now, what I wonder is, which novel should I try to write during November.

I'm heavily considering writing the MillicenttVS fic (which I had already figured to be novella length, anyway), but there's also the possibility of writing one of several other story ideas I've been kicking around forever, or possibly a new idea altogether.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

That's sort of the point. You write the 50,000. That's all you're on the hook for. If you need to write more to complete the book, that's fine. The point is the commitment.

Ah. Some of the discussion I saw on another board made it look like the point was also completing an idea.

Still, not this year. I need to finish this edit on the current project, spend some more time on freelance ideas that have some chance at immediate earnings, and start setting up the pieces for my next project. I couldn't get 50,000 words on it in November. I could make November my big research month to figure out exactly where I'm going to fit the story into whatever Wellington's army was up to in the second half of 1811, and write 50,000 words in December, but I really need that research homework first.

Got it Deb, and backflung.
