LTUE is over and was, from my POV anyway, a rousing success. I got feedback on the A&tS story (the first five pages of which apparently don't suck, but that may have been a function of my dramatic and entertaining reading of it as much as anything else), and Bob Defendi has agreed to have a look at the rest of it for me. I also figured out how to ( Read more... )

Did I really just say this in my last entry:

Now all I have to do is format it, print it, take it to the post office, and ship it off.And what a lovely dramafest THAT turned out to be ( Read more... )

And I have no idea how I'm going to shove another character in there to accomodate the Hubby's (quite good) suggestion ( Read more... )

And he liked it...except for the ending, which he thinks feels kind of tacked on. It changes pace from the rest of the story, and he says there's a lot of exposition there. He gave me a suggestion for a B plot (involving a reporter) that might tie into the ending better and give their solution a more organic feel to it. I'll have to figure out ( Read more... )

Having moved my business to the front room, I think I have an ending to the BearFic that won't make my Writing Buddy's head go desky.
