I'm with you there, erika. I was just amused to be corrected like a small child with grammar issues. (I don't much care what other people say, as long as they don't call me something I don't like. Then I get tetchy.)

Yeah, of course...that's different. And there are things I say here that I wouldn't say in "mixed" company outside of the internets. Like, sometimes I hate some of the stuff that House throws around. It's completely in character for him not to be constrained in saying "bitter cripple," and etc. I think it's funny as hell most of the time. But I also hate it because it makes some of those young fangirls say things that I really wish they wouldn't. And it's hard to explain why, because House, nominal gimp, has no problem with...and the fact he only has a supervisor for, like, three minutes a show, only partially clues them into the Reality Not Reflected-ness of the thing.

I bit of progress on 25. I crushed some narrative down to a couple of sentences and turned some more into a scene. Another scene and a bit more crushing and I'll get close to the end of the chapter.

I bit more done on 25, revising this chapter is taking forever. I didn't realize how icky the rough draft was. The events in the plot are fine, but it was all narrative with nothing really playing out in front of the reader.

I'm working up to writing, finishing a few last editing projects, and sort of letting the next chapter brew in my head. By next week, I'll be rolling up my sleeves, and I have to say, I'm so excited to get back to it.

Have a drabble topic: open .

Hee-- film rights inquiry on the Carmen book.

Probably nothing will come of it, but still... fun!

Here's hoping for the next Big Fat Greek Bitch, Barb. Damn Piven...I really love that movie, no joke, but thanks to him, I still think of it as Big Fat Greek Bitch.

That is fun, Barb! And it shows someone's already doing their job over there!

Oh, neat!

That's cool!
