Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Still working on 21 and 22, but almost done. I had my wife look at 22 and she pointed out a place where Aimee's emotions aren't complex enough and she's right, so some fixing will be needed.

The listening is revealing that I need to do tightening and rephrasing pretty badly. Nonetheless, I'm feeling a bit encouraged, it seems like the story and characters are going along okay. The characters probably need a bit more work, but they aren't terrible to my ear. I already knew that I needed to work on tightening and rephrasing, so that doesn't seem all that bad.

Because books.

So I took a nap this afternoon and missed a call from my agent. And she never calls unless she has news, which in this case is probably X Publisher likes the zombie book, or X Publisher passed on it. And now I have to wait till tomorrow to find out which it is.

Learn from me, people! Don't nap!

“Not dead yet!”

And she didn't leave a MESSAGE? Or email or SOMETHING??

AUGH.

No, she left a message. Said to call her tomorrow.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Amy, midnight counts as "tomorrow," right? Do you have her home number?

Hee. I think I can wait.

Meanwhile, I went back to my critique group after a couple months away and they completely helped me figure out what I was doing wrong with the new YA idea. I'm never leaving them again!

Go Gud!

I finished something that's either the first half of a chapter, or the chapter in and of itself. I'll have to see how the next section shakes itself out.
