Thank, askye!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I took a stroll down memory lane last night, and rearranged my writing files and folders, so that all the partially finished stories/books set in my superhero soap opera are all in one folder. Then just for yucks, I counted up the total pages they take up. 667 pages, written over maybe the last six years, so we're not actually talking a great deal of productivity there, it's just that it adds up, eventually.
On the bright side, the 120 or so pages I've written this year of it, I've probably liked the best of all... if nothing else, I've given some of these characters a lot of thought and development, and it's showing. On the dark side... no end in sight for this particular plot they've gotten themselves into.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Theodosia, where do you stand on WIP editing? As in, do you desire, approve, request?

I could relate to it too, in a first short hair in a long time way.

Deb, I'm really torn, because much of it is just over-the-top silly. The high-concept description is pretty much "What if Armistead Maupin Wrote the X-Men?" which is indeed about as silly as it sounds. But I do enjoy it so much....
