Because books.

Thanks Amy

not your mom's socks.

Do it, Burrell!

Amy, that sounds like an excellent plan.

Go PC!

Gud, I am. I'm trying to work a second POV character into an existing novel. The result is both revelatory and BUMPY.

Go, you writing people! Go! You can do it!

I just sent the completed draft for the novel I've been working on to my agent. I made my self-imposed deadline of sending it to her by my birthday, whoo!

Now to nervously wait for feedback. (She liked the 1/3 of it she'd seen before. I'm trying to reassure myself with that memory.)

Woo, Jilli! That is wonderful!

I haven't even opened Scrivener and November is half over. Oh well.

Congrats, Jilli!

I haven't gotten much writing done this month, what with work and memorial and obits and such. But I did some! And hope to do more after tomorrow, and before the next paper set hits me on, er, Wednesday.

That's awesome, Jilli!

Go go Burrell!

Short story, -t?

I was planning on using one of my old WIPs (that I'd like to work on some more/re-work, whatever) to learn how to use Scrivener, Sox. And probably will, eventually, but I'm having a hard time carving out the time right now.

Because books.

I took out a bunch of books from the library for research, and handwrote three legal pages of a scene today. Whoo.

Coding and Sleeping

Turned around latest edits from agent and worked on reducing the word count. Things are looking good and I think we'll finally be ready for submission before too long. It's been an educational process in a good way.
