Writing update, since something needs to kick my ass into gear...

[gryphonrhi]

11,509 words so far. At a minimum, six more scenes to go, probably more like ten. Damn. At least 25,000 words, then, possibly 35,000, and then I can do the sequel. ::eyes my muses in disgust:: If I could get my hands on you guys....

SOUTHERN COMFORT?!

::hearts your muses::

[gryphonrhi]

Yes, and I'm going to shoot the wordy, complicated, pain in the ass bastards! (Okay. Joe's probably not illegitimate, but the rest of them are!!)

[feonixrift]

At least you can get your pens on them... *ducks*

[gryphonrhi]

Er, well, no. It's more like they can get through my pens. ::shrugs:: I never win arguments with them about how the story goes, and I've learned not to try. Blasted nuisances are usually *right*.

[feonixrift]

Heh. Nasty habit, being right... =) Looking forward to the results.

[gryphonrhi]

The prime example is getting (I thought) halfway through Sirocco... and Farrell refused to fight for Owain. And then I had to go back, expand the first half, and completely reevaluate who was fighting who and reblock all the sword fights. GAH. (Sonuvabitch was *right*, too.)

[mzlizzy]

So are they being more annoying than Lucius and Marcus? Or just annoying in another way?

[gryphonrhi]

They've been more annoying for longer. Trust me. This is actually *worse* than leaving Duncan naked on the couch for a year while I figured out why the scene wasn't working. :;whimpers:: Six scenes. Maybe ten. ::goes back to writing::

[mamamia1964]

oh good! the more you write, the more I have to read. I'm looking forward to your thousands and thousands of words coming soon. (You'll notice that I'm not nudging, pushing, or even hinting that you should hurry up!!)

[gryphonrhi]

::laughing:: You aren't, and thank you! ::goes back to writing::

[em_kellesvig]

Well, Matthew, being Southern, does have a way of running on a bit, even when he's not talking. And Duncan...well, let's not even go there. But when you write alphas, you have to expect them to be a little, hmmm, pushy.

You could always take up herding cats...

[gryphonrhi]

Got a two by four I could borrow for these guys?

[em_kellesvig]

Sure! *beams* Good thing they're both Immortal. Just don't hurt Joe. Threaten to hide his Gibson, yes; bodily harm, no. And be nice to that Skinner fellow, if he's still around. I have a crush on him (just a little one). ;)

[gryphonrhi]

::eyes it:: I don't think Skinner's in it. Not yet, anyway. Probably not. No, I wouldn't hit Joe! (The rest of them should duck, but Joe's safe!) ::hugs you, runs off to write some more of this, blast them!::
