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.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

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

Like all right-thinking people, Gud.

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.

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?

I'd go ahead and cite it, TB and then if it turns out it's unnecessary, it can be removed in copyedits.

I'm very close to finishing my current revision. Then it's just clean-up, not a minor task, but the novel is definitely winding down.
I also wrote the 1st draft of the first chapter of my next novel.
Meanwhile I continue my commuting misadventure. Chapter 6 wasn't bad actually. Chapter 7 though ::shakes head::. I think this morning was an actual account of the author's researching of vampires of this book. It was like reading the narrative of someone reading a Wikipedia article. This was right after a though description of eating a bowl of cereal. Why are you detailing this mundane crap for the reader? Oh, god why?
