Um, Connie, did you mean "vanity publishing" or did you mean "vanity googling"?
She's one of my favorite reviewers.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I managed to finish Chapter 21 and Chapter 22. That puts me at 128k words. The end of the rough draft looms ever closer.

I meant vanity googling. I claim extensive exhaustion due to Week 3 of a massive update that our customers are going through on short notice and which our managers are using to justify having so many people on the job when things are slow (in order to counter demands that they hire more people for hell months like this one)

Because books.
Gud, that's awesome! Go, go, go!
I wrote the first four pages of a new project yesterday! Which ... doesn't seem as impressive, but is totally a start.

Aside from just lots of stuff happening as the end nears, it's just plain fun to start having things finally go full circle. This thing in chapter one plays a role in chapter 24. So does this other thing in chapter two.

“Not dead yet!”
Go Gud!
Go Amy!
I have met new agent in person and she TOTALLY rocks. She gets it-- she completely gets everything about my writing.
I feel like a thousand pound weight labeled "You suck, don't ever write anything again," has been lifted from my shoulders.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's super fantastic, Barb!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yay, Barb! I love it! A good agent makes a world of difference. Best of luck to you in your new relationship.
And yay, Gud! Yay for continuity and almost-done-ness.

Always Anti-fascist!
I am finding myself super-uncomfortable watching Billy Walsh on Entourage...he's like K-Fucked made flesh. "I'm great...no, I'm shit." No, I'm so fucking great that you're an ass if you don't love it. It's not fit to be seen...it belongs in Cannes. I'm afraid that every writer has a Walsh in us. Ugly but true. We're not all that mental nor that pretentious, and if it were true that sex killed creativity I'd be the best writer in the fucking world, but that's a rant for another day.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Barb, that is great news.
