Fwoosh. 6 out of 10 chapters edited. My brain’s pretty gooey. I could finish, but I’ll be better off doing it tomorrow. I’m hoping to cut a couple pages of dead weight–and I tell you, it’s good that I took notes about this when I was writing it, because now, as always, I’m thinking, “Well, that’s not really so bad, is it?” And…it’s not, but I also don’t think it really contributes to the forward motion of the story, so it’s better off being excised. …but not right now. I’m…
Well!

We are back to the lifestyle in which practically every entry is about writing. This makes me happy, even if it doesn’t make everyone else happy. :) Working on BANSHEE CRIES edits.

inadvertantly cool :)

I said, “Wow, he’d be great!” because, well, he would be. And that I hadn’t thought of that. So I’m working on my BANSHEE CRIES edits. I just discovered a bit where I said Gary gives Jo a grin that would do James Garner’s Maverick…
wowee zowie!
Wow! Got the comments letter for OPERATION: CARDINAL just now! Zoomy turn-around time on that, which is *wonderful*. Lots of good questions, lots of things I need to focus on and clarify (I don’t think the synopsis I wrote was very good, to tell the truth. It’ll give me a very general framework to work from, but all the questions it raised for Matrice and Natashya (head editor for the Bombshell line) were extremely good and relevant ones. Well, I’ll get better at synopsizing these, I’m sure. It’s a matter…
