Line edits are off to New York, where I will not have to worry about them aaaaany more. I hope. :) Now to finish laundry and housecleaning, and maybe try to get a thousand words in, before guests arrive. Speaking of whom, I probably won’t be around much for the next 48-72 hours (not quite sure how long they’re staying). Try to be brave while I’m gone. ytd wordcount: 239,500 miles to Isengard: 180
*stupid grin*
Ok, the *best* part of doing line edits is finding the smilies and hearts that my editor leaves in the margins, especially when she puts them next to bits that I particularly like.

and the hits just keep on comin’!
Look! has returned with an all-new journal with the same old song! Whattashocker! (I should resist posting this, I should resist posting this, I shou…*post*)
someday…
Someday–about fifteen years from now, when I have time–I’m going to write a series of novels that will look almost nothing, save for the names of the characters, like a game we played once upon a time. It’ll be a Greek tragedy on the GRRM scale, and it will be huge fun and huge work and the prospect of it fills me with glee. It will resolve storylines left unplayed (as I see fit, of course; that’s the trouble of giving one person the reins) and it will go directions…
