I have run out of marked-up manuscript. Now I have to find the last version I printed out and see how much further it goes from where I am now. I think that version, at least, is more current than this one from the critical point (which is where I am now, the critical point, which is why there are no more markups on the old manuscript, don’t you see…) onward, although it does not get as far as the end of the book before I ran out of paper.…

Your Score: Odysseus 100% Extroversion, 33% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 14% Perceptiveness You are a generous entertainer, an observer of tradition, and you are an enthusiastic leader. You are most like Odysseus. You meet transgressions with swift retribution but you are, in the end, just and fair. You’re also pretty astute — it’s hard to pull one over on you.

You aren’t particularly idealistic, and are more apt to practice a kind of situational morality,…
halfway there!

This is against the odds for a variety of reasons, starting with having played CoH until 2pm, and including the moral equivilant of the Novelist’s Event Horizon: I’m making small changes that take a long time to work out, so I’m spending a lot of time on one or two pages and not feeling like I’m getting anywhere.

yay!
! I got your books today! I didn’t realize RIVER was hardback, sheesh. I wouldn’t’ve whinged at the price had I realized it. :) Oh, and I respond very nicely to “Kit”; try it sometime and see. :) *hops around like a dorky hoppy thing* I’m all happy now! TWO new books to read! And DISPOSSESSION looks very cool, too. Yay! *beams* I just have to do enough work today to justify getting to read tonight! …which, thus far, I have not done. But doubleXP weekend ends in about half…

Trent, you’ll be glad to know that the scene that went missing during revisions that you asked about five times has returned. Between that and cutting scenes that don’t need to be there, my chapter lengths are now officially All Over The Place. Got to about page 190 today (and added 6 pages, and still have to go cut two, but that above-mentioned chapter length thing is stopping me from actually doing that). I wanted to reach 200, but these next ten pages have a bunch of minor changes that…
