I'm thinking of more than one project. One would be a nice coffeetable book with photos of my various creations. Another few books would have to be Pictures of the Cats. The comic collection is the third project, and a necklace website the fourth.

Whew, now I'm tired out, just thinking about it all.

Lulu's doing 25% off photo books from now through the 31st. (coupon code: photoyear)

oooh, keen. I will go check it out. Thank you!!!

Why don't I shoot you a nice e tomorrow or so and we can talk projects?

Love it, thanks!

No work yesterday. I'm still in the midst of 36 and 37 and I expect I will be for awhile. I might be trying to stuff too much into those two chapters. I need to knock out a critique as well, that will put me two chapters ahead of my exchange person, but it's the holiday season so I'm expecting any feedback until January. Exchange person number 1 says she's still on board, but it's been since mid-October since there's been any activity. Again, I figure it will be January.

I'm in a discouraged phase at the moment

Ah Gud, don't be discouraged. I know you've made me interested in reading it just from the bits and pieces you've mentioned on the board, and I've read so much fantasy it's kind of hard to grab me.

Thanks. I'm sure the discouraged phase will pass. Partly, I'm just in a difficult part. I've got a mostly new character to introduce, some new setting, and a new culture. Trying to do that without burning through a lot of words is hard.

Did a bit of work last night. Knocked out my critique and made progress on 36 and 37. Still not far into 37, I haven't even gotten to the intimate scene yet.

Do you feel like you picked the form you write in, or do you feel like it picked you? Because I think I could do good work in several, but I'm starting to feel like if I want to do one right, I might have to choose. (Maybe that's not true?)

I guess I feel like I picked the form since it was the only form I was really interested in. Whether I can do it well or not remains to be seen.
