The theory of the thing was to have TRUTHSEEKER revisions done by Sunday last. To this I say AHAHAHAHAHA. At this point I think my goal is to have them done by Sunday next, or Monday at the latest. We’re going into Dublin for the GRRM signing tomorrow, so they won’t get done before then. There’re only a hundred pages left, but it hasn’t been easy to sit down and do them. After that, pre-holiday, I must do the following: – tiddly revisions on “Perchance to Dream” – tiddly revisions…
No No Wri Mo!
I am not even pretending to participate in NNWM this year. I see other people gearing up and a tiny part of my brain goes “I could do that!”, but I must crush it ruthlessly. I’ll be on vacation the second half of November, and there’s no way I’d keep it up even with the best of intentions. So my best intentions must be not to do it at all.

I suspect it will overflow into November by a couple days to finish…

Yay WordPress! (um, soapturtle, you want to upgrade my WP installations for me sometime…? O.O)
What I learned about writing comics
This weekend a fellow writer and friend emailed to say she’d gotten her first comic-writing contract, and did I have any thoughts/suggestions/advice/epiphanies, having written my own comic series. Indeed I did, and I’ve been vaguely meaning for ages to write those thoughts up, so she provided me with an opportunity to do so. So here’s what I learned about writing comics: * turning the page is often a sign of a scene change. Not always, but it’s a good rule of thumb, and if you’re *going* to change scenes, it’s…
