No progress last night. I had to work late and that wiped out my time. Hopefully I can make a bit of progress tonight. I've still got an outside chance of getting through to the end this weekend, but most likely I'll slip past that.

The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Also, I got a bit of feedback on Book 1, always cool. Good stuff, I'll probably act on all the weak areas mentioned. It was exciting to read that a couple of things I was trying to achieve worked out for the reader.
I got more of 60 written and it's already as big as most of my chapters even thought there is still a lot to cover. It'll probably be split. It looks like 62 won't be the last chapter after all.
My wife found a big mistake in chapter 6, something totally implausible. I can't believe I didn't think of it, but then I changed things from the rough draft so I think the scene used to be plausible. I'm glad she caught it though. She loves to catch stuff like that.
Speaking of plausibility. I listened to an Atlanta airport scene in my Lee Child audio book. I don't know the Atlanta airport, but I totally didn't buy the scene regardless. The book is still a good listen, I just had to shrug off that scene.
Um, anyone interested in reading a short (2K words) of the New Project?
It's not at any kind of needing critique stage yet-- just more a general impressions sort of thing, especially since it's such a new beast for me.
I am, Barb. Assuming you don't need super fast turnaround (ie - it might have to wait until this evening).
I could do it this weekend.
I can do it later this evening, Barb.
Nope, no hurry necessary. I'll send shortly.
Chipped off a bit more of 60, it's already an unusually large chapter and there is still plenty to happen. Dang, I was hoping to be done with this revision about now.
