This is the Writer’s Prayer. This is the Penmonkey’s Paean.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thank you, Tom. Please note new tag.
Now I must go print that out and prepare to tell Hubby not to ask silly questions when I tape it up on my desk.

Four days into my misadventure with Twilight, I now hate both main characters.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm just surprised it took you that long.

Art Crawl!!!
So very true.
And I hate them from the movies because despite my friends' inexplicable fondness for the books, I have managed to avoid them.

After the disaster of yesterday's commute, this morning's wasn't too terrible. There are flashes of okay-ness.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
If I'm recommend an entire book on a particular subject inside the MS I'm writing further discussion of a topic (as opposed to citing particular pages to prove a point) and I mention the title and author in the text is there any need to add a formal citation? I do make extensive use of formal citations in the work, so maybe not citing is inconsistent?

“Not dead yet!”
I'd go ahead and cite it, TB and then if it turns out it's unnecessary, it can be removed in copyedits.
