I rewrote two half-chapters and think I’ve gotten the book back on track. The next few chapters will be all-new, with lots of action and a character who hasn’t been seen in a while (nevermind that nobody from the Walker Papers has been seen in a while, since it’s TWO YEARS since I’ve written one!), and … well, we’ll see where it goes tomorrow, I guess. I’ve only lost a couple thousand words at this point, which is nice. ytd wordcount: 260,600
comic con schedule, version 1
Ok, my Comic Con schedule is starting to take shape. Currently it looks something like this: WEDNESDAY, JULY 22: Daytime is free, with a potential lunch with (of all things) a friend from Ireland :) Evening is Preview Night. Expect incoherency from the chick who’s flown over from Ireland. THURSDAY, JULY 23: Evening: Random House party (that sounds totally different than what it actually is! *laughs*) FRIDAY, JULY 25 1:00-2:00 Looking at our World: Eye on the Present Authors discuss how they use the supernatural in stories of contemporary society:…
my brain…
…it has been entirely eaten by Doctor Who. I don’t read or write fic, and don’t even *want* to (except those other two Methos novels I’d like to write someday), but damn, I am *totally happy* doing nothing but sitting around thinking about Doctor Who, and admiring the icons people’ve made. I would be perfectly happy sitting around making a zillion icons myself. One that somebody made has made me want to try making a *fanvid*, for God’s sake. I have neither time nor talent for it, but damned if…
it’s monday?
Apparently it’s Monday, and I’m not entirely clear on how that happened. I feel like I’m several days, at least, behind. I woke up at 7:something this morning, thought, “I should get up now,” decided to lie in for a few more minutes, had a rather scattered yet vivid dream involving not so much Dean and Sam as the Impala (which the Good Ol’ Boy in the dream said was a Dodge Impala, wtf, but I was playing the part of a … girl/friend who was trying to replace the…
I hate this part.
I hate this part of writing a book. I’ve screwed up. The point at which I’ve screwed up is pretty clear to me, and a fair distance back now. Most of what I’ve written can (probably) be used anyway, at least in concept. I just have to get stuff rewritten back there and rearrange everything.
