“Not dead yet!”

I was hit with a small bit of inspiration last night. Wrote it down and posted it in my blog as a Tuesday Teaser. Went back and looked at it and was stunned that it was actually pretty good.

This manuscript has been kicking my ass so hard, I tend to regard anything that comes easily with deep suspicion.

I have ideas for a sequel to my current story kicking around. Now I have an idea for another unrelated story kicking around. I still need to concentrate on my revision and the content going into into it. Too many ideas.

1,395 words to go. I want to get this story finished TONIGHT, so I can have all of tomorrow for revisions. Aaauugh. Also, I am apparently incapable of remembering how to spell homunculi, no matter how often it appears in the story.

... aaaand done. Off the story goes to the beta readers. If GoogleDocs starts behaving, that is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've never tried google docs for my betas...how does this magical thing work?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Clicky the linky, log in to google, edit as usual but with no emailing pages back and forth. It's very easy.

Does Google docs track changes?

Chipping away at revised chapter 15 now. I keep wanting to get to the next chapter of the rough draft, then when I get there I want to get to the next one.

I'm gonna try to really condense the next two chapters of the rough draft to tighten things up, but the days of throwing out page after page from the rough draft may be ending. There is a lot less unneeded junk now.

Four more rough draft chapters, two of them short, and I'll hit the middle part of the story where the plot goes into overdrive. I'm looking forward to getting there.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Gudanov, it can track changes under 'revision history' in Tools

Nifty, it's nice to know that Google docs does that. It doesn't sound as hidden as OpenOffice's. Not that I'm going to shift to using something other than MS Word.

I may pick up another beta swap reader. She approached me about it, but is concerned about the size of my book. We shall see.

I don't want to get over-committed, but I appear to be going along about an order of magnitude faster than my current beta swap partner.
