There is no reason for people to do this except I am pleading with them to. Could people please put youtube video embeds behind tags? My firefox/computer/whatever cannot handle them and going to my flist only to have my browser crash without warning is an exercise in frustration at best, and on a day like I’ve been having today makes me want to go crawl under the bed and cry. ETA: provided me with this page, which allows you to turn off video embeds in LJ. That worked. I still…

chance chance chance chance chance!
I’ve gotten the rough draft letters for about the first half of Chance. It is SO COOL to see the actual words with the images. I mean, I know what they all say and what’s going on in them, but there’s something radically different about actually having the words on the page. Wow. I keep looking at this and thinking ‘there is NO WAY Image can turn this down.’ Which is not true. But *man*! *Man*! Don’t think we’re going to make the Oct. 1 submission deadline I’d set, but…

I also need to write at least one more scene from a 3rd POV character, and I think I know where it goes. I just gotta…

revelation [ww lock]
I had a revelation last night. This is something basically pointed out weeks ago, but I’m a little slow on the uptake. My revelation: I have *never* successfully stayed on the Weight Watchers plan at 22 points a day. I may have managed it for a few weeks last summer while I was exercising like a fiend and bringing my points up to something like 27 or 28 base through APs, and then an additional several with the WPA, but I have .never. actually stuck with it for more than…
