Could he spit, click his teeth, slam his hand down on something? (how annoyed is he?)
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Slamming something is a good beat. There's nothing for him to slam, but doing something with excess force would probably work. He's fairly annoyed, it's a turf dispute between two different organizations on the same side.
I'm starting to feel much better about doing the book alone. Relieved, actually. It's a lot of work, but it's mine, and I like depending on me, even if it means if it fails to find a publisher, it's all me.

I think it will be a better book for it too.
I revised chapter 1 again and I'm starting to really feel good about it. It feels tight.
I also added this current revision to my 'Evolution of Chapter 1' blog page for those ones of people interested in seeing the process of going from rough draft to final revision (not there yet).
And yes, my mom left a comment.
I had a major a ha! today about my story and what was wrong with it. I think I may be able to fix it and finish it by Christmas.
Yay, Burrell!
And go you, Gud!
Yay, Burrell and woo hoooooo Gud!
I'm still all preeny-like over the great email from Agent of Awesomeness.
Go Burrell!
That sounds good Barb preen away!
I'm in revised chapter 9 and it is proving tough. I know I need to do some cutting, but cutting out the stuff I can lose and stitching together the stuff that's important is turning out to not be easy. Chapter 8 was so much easier by comparison.
I'm entering a tough part of the draft in general. I knew there needs to be a lot of cutting in the next 3-4 chapters of the rough draft. Once I get to the middle of the draft, it should get easier since a LOT happens in the middle. The middle is my favorite part of the draft.
