Woo, Jilli! That is wonderful!
I haven't even opened Scrivener and November is half over. Oh well.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

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.

Plotty people, I need some thoughts here. As you may or may not know, I'm writing a novel about a soul musician, his friend's murder, and, as a sort of B story, he's trying to track down a sort of "forgotten" concept album he worked on long ago that the hard-core geeks are always asking him about(Picture if Marvin Gaye's "Here, My Dear" and Brian Wilson's "Smile" had an album-baby) He's about to ask a former crush if she has it, but she ends up smacked around with a rifled hotel room because it's a mystery and tropey as that is, it doesn't hurt to have a second act of violence in Act Two...however, aside from that, the muses didn't leave much of a motive...why might someone do that?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Does the album have any sort of secret coded messages in it? Or maybe a song with hidden meanings, like it's really about an old flame who doesn't want that song heard by ANYONE EVER?

Could be.(I guess I have to stop blaming Raymond Chandler's drinking for how "The Lady In The Lake" turned out...I'm very sober right now and lose the thread ALL THE TIME.)If you don't know the story, apparently they were working on the script for "Lady", and they called Chandler all frantic..."So, who killed her?" They say Chandler said he didn't know.
