ION, my agent has not said anything about the GCS 2 proposal. Have I mentioned that I'm not good at waiting? Aaaaaaugh!

“Not dead yet!”

Deep breaths, Jilli. And cupcakes.

Almost done with chapter 56, I've just got a few tweaks and then it'll finally be done . . . for this revision.

Chapter 57 could be tricky too unfortunately. I think things will smooth out after that.

I finally got 56 in the bag. 57 is getting close too. I used to think 55 chapters, then it became 58 chapters, and now I'm looking at 62 chapters. I'm feeling pretty confident about the 62 number. The good thing is, that aside from chapter 60 and a couple of scenes in 59, things will flow pretty much as they are in the rough draft. I'm even hoping to use parts from the rough draft.

Gud, I haven't been keeping up with the chapters you've been sending me. If you want to send me the same complete first book you sent Liese, I'll go ahead and read it all the way through and try very hard to give you feedback. I can guarantee the reading, I'm not sure I'll have useful critique to offer but I will try.

That would be great! Thanks!

I can send the normal copy, or one optimized for duplex printing.

Normal is fine.

The normal one I have laying around, so to speak, so I can just send it.

Again, Thanks!

Always Anti-fascist!

Ok, so I thought signing up for Script Frenzy, which is like NaNO for Screenwriters would be an awesome idea, because it would force me to finish my spec by 4/1 and for the challenge and all that happy crap, right? But I forgot how "!!!!" writing hobbyists are.Everything is just always*so* much fun and the best shit evar...I don't remember when I started a writing project and felt like that, but I think my age had "teen" in it. I don't suppose there's a nice way to post back "Please stop gushing...your ceaseless glee is making me sick." And I don't even think I'm even all that tormented...not one of those people that believes every page is childbirth(despite my tripping on what a big job the spec has been....the new version has come more easily But there are definite moments of pleasure in a well-crafted, in character moment...it's just hard to imagine being all "Woo hoo!" about it...at this point that would feel like being excited about...digesting a sandwich.

57 is done with now, and I'm making inroads into 58. After spending forever on chapter 55, I'm feeling good about making progress now.
