Three Things Make A Post
Huh. It's the second time I've used the exact same subject line. Or third?
Anyway!
1. I wrote 1,000 more words this morning and am now officially finished Draft 0 of part 9. Very, very rarely do Draft 0's ever get released into the provincial park (i.e., betas), and even a controlled, tagged attempt at acclimatizing the Draft for public consumption does not occur at this stage. Why? Because it is a brilliant [censored] mess of continuity issues, completely misses a few important hints distributed throughout the text, sections need to be added, and OMFG my second paragraph makes no sense, and I have to do some massive rewrites.
2. I want to write an about dialogue writing post. After that, I will show you how I crit my own writing -- and it will be brutal. I am generally worse on myself than I am when I crit someone else.
3. The Merlin Big Bang writer signup is open! I have not signed up yet despite the plot that is eating my brain because I suck at writing summaries that do not give everything away. If you haven't been following this journal for a while, a little hint for you: I hate giving spoilers! So, yeah.
Okay!
Back to editing. Which I still hate doing, just so you know.
