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.
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.

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.

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.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
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?
