I just thought, “God! I haven’t finished a book since July! What’ve I been DOING all this time?!” Then I remembered I’d been getting a house ready to sell and moving to the other side of the world. Oh yeah. Feel better now. :) (later) Ok, I can tell I’m almost done and have reached the point where I just want to *be* done, because I’m fiddling around with the very last chapter, which is not in need of fiddling anymore, and avoiding doing the work on the two preceding…

a busy day
Got through another several chapters on HoS. I have to do some fairly significant stuff in the antepenultimate and penultimate chapters, which I left largely untouched due to NOT CARING ANYMORE last time through, and I need to write two new scenes for around the 24th chapter. I’ll have to re-arrange chapter breaks after that, and make a couple of other small modifications to a few scenes much earlier in the book, and then by God I think I’ll be done. I’d better be, because I’m at the point of…
chugging along
I’m going to have some more minor edits to do after this pass on HoS is done, but I think this is the last major revision pass I’m going to have to do. The middle of the book got rewritten a lot in the last pass and it’s solidified up nicely.

whiny self indulgence stricken
This post was written yesterday in a fit of whiny self indulgence. Consequently I’m putting it behind the more tag, and if you want to actually read the whiny self indulgence you can. Otherwise, I will just post about how we just went to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and oh my *god*. I thought it was very nearly perfect. There were lines that came straight from the books, lines that I anticipated–and I haven’t *read* the books in fifteen years–and hearing them just about made me…
carlow day
Today we all went down to Carlow town (isn’t that a song?) and went to see the garda about Shaun’s passport. It actually went really well; the essence of it is that Shaun and I (because I’m the citizen in this scenario) need to establish that we’ve had a long-term permanent domicile sharing in the States, which can be shown by bills addressed to us separately at the same address, and that we intend to continue a long-term permanent domicile sharing in Ireland. They pretty much don’t give a rat’s…
