Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I'm still slogging through chapter 28. Not really stuck, just haven't had that much time and last night I decided to fix some of the known typos in the first 27 chapters. I wouldn't call it revision, just fixing really bad typos. Still very much a rough draft.

I finished a section in chapter 28. I'm a good writing session from being done with it. Then the final two chapters. I'll overshoot my wordcount goal, but that's good as I'm sure to lose words in editing.

Gud, you're awesome. Also, would you like to finish my book for me? ::weak smile::

In other news, I had a really crappy day, and a blogger posted a review of Cold Kiss that actually made me cry. She really got it! I'm stunned and so pleased.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Amy, that's a stellar review! (and she's right, too!)

not your mom's socks.

Wow, Amy! That's an awesome review - she got the book, and you as well! I like how she ends it.

Wishing you an easy writing day.

I didn't say it here yet - go Gud! Huge accomplishments deserve celebration, right?

Yay, Amy!

Awesome review, Amy!

I finished chapter 28 and I'm 1,000 words into chapter 29 as I'm wrapping up Cog. Well, wrapping up the first draft. There's a lot more work to go.

I think I've finally become That Writer who can't work unless there's silence, ambient noise (like in a cafe), or classical music. I want to say I had this cool playlist for this book, and I probably will for the hell of it, but I just can't hear the lyrics and write at the same time.
