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

Because books.

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!

And 21 is finally out, 10 days, the house painting is definitely taking a toll on my productivity.

“Not dead yet!”

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.

I hope it shakes out well.

Ugh, I'm rolling, but my time has run out. Of course, that's how it is most nights.

Amy, wishing you good news from the agent!

Thanks, Seska. And welcome! I don't think I ever said that.

I was going to propose a new drabble topic, but I'm watching The Today Show and Maria Shriver is on, so all I can think of is: cryptkeeper.

I found two continuity errors in the chapter I listened to this morning. Yikes. Two!

Hopefully I can mostly fix up 22 tonight. I have to redo an argument between two characters and I don't want either to sound entirely unreasonable.

Barb, you were asking for writing~ma, so I'm guessing here is the place to put that. Wishing you all the best with whatever developments are taking place!

I will finish my literature review today, if I have to stay up till a completely ridiculous hour in order to achieve this. I'm bored, and keen to move on to the more creative part of the project.

Seska, what exactly is a literature review? And is this a book-length project? I know you said, or I think you did, but I don't remember now.
