Oh the prose that we compose (Work Diary 1)

Yesterday's victim of choice was the growing scarp piece called "the killer afghan"--one of my Spiral backgabble pieces. I went through in fuschia and painstakingly noted out all the minute changes in theme, and the flow and transition of such. In my head it's already accumulating the name, "Killer--Fuschia Minor Edit". It's interesting what I can see in analyzing my own work in such a  painstaking way.

Still gives me headaches to think about too carefully, though--the fact that I can finally get a piece with a subject like that to work that smoothly. Kinda creeps me out...

Worked on a Dubbiel scarp, too. I always come back amazed by how much fun Dubbiel is to write. He's increasing in exponential nuttiness by the moment. (And to think that the only reason I even started developing him out was because Desert.Illusion LIKED him. Back when he was just a background character...)

Ran over Stagecraft twice, and spellchecked chapter one (as is obvious here.) And I picked a bit at the Evangeline HiblertXLydia Rutherford piece. I really need to research the nineties if I'm going to continue there. I was barely alive at the time after all...

Asthmatic!Eyes is a nice touch, I think... it has the right feel to it... (It helps explain why he's always having these nasty violent rib!pain attacks while the others seem to go on as planned...)

in medias res
