…I would open a daily word wars chat room if I wasn’t in a completely different time zone from so many of the writers I know. I mean, really, the Pacific coast writers won’t be up for hours yet, and most of the East Coasters aren’t really stirring yet either (except LAG, who seems to often be on early). Still, if the idea appeals, leave a comment and maybe I’ll start doing that. (Word wars: a scenario where you set the clock for 30 or 45 minutes and everybody writes…

liveblogging the final chapter
I have done jack all today on this book. So I’m now going behind the cut tag and live-blogging the writing of the last chapter. I have no idea what this will entail. Wordcounts, I guess. For something more interesting, go read today’s interview with me over at Bitten By Books. There are 5 PRETENDER’S CROWN ARCs in the running for commentors, so go forth and participate. :)
boring week of posts
This is likely to be a boring week of posts. I’ve got a thousand things to do and need to-do lists in order to get through ’em, so, well. Boring week. thinks to do: – pilates – email The Man – write. ideally, write 2 chapters, but write, anyway – work on, possibly finish, AAs – go for a walk. (this one’s important.) to do tomorrow so I don’t forget: – stop by the bank & open a savings account
blah.
Ok. I have gotten three chapters revised, one with only a couple hundred words changed (but one nearly entirely rewritten). The next chapter is going to probably be half rewritten; some of what it does is good, and some is less good. I would really *really* like to keep the chapter after that, but unless I can forcibly insert plot into it, it’ll have to go. Regardless, the three immediately after that will have to be rewritten entirely. Possibly more than that, I don’t know yet. But what’s in there…
yay!
My printer cartridge has arrived. This means the remainder of the day will be spent: – making sure it’s the right one and fits and works – getting paper so I have enough to print out the PRETENDER’S CROWN behemoth manuscript – clinging to patience as I print the behemoth Fail to cling to patience based on PRINTING THE WRONG FRAKKING VERSION – going to yoga class my bad, no yoga tonight – wondering why the hell the book isn’t done printing yet – swearing at the damned book which…
