j_cheneyAfter my whinging last night, the Esteemed Program Coordinator of ArmadilloCon squeezed me into the BU RFR. Evidently, she was in the midst of a power outage and was outside in her car working on a laptop....that's dedication! I'm always impressed by how hard the FACT people work on their Cons.
I spent another day working on the re-write of Shared Dreams. I discovered that I have a very illogical bias in my head that says writing a 10K story shouldn't take more than 1 day. Where I got this incredibly stupid idea, I don't know. After all, a 150K novel seems to take about 6 months to get through the first draft---not 15 days.
Still, that prejudice is there, and I feel bad that I'm about to launch into the 3rd day of working on this...and it's a re-write, for Heaven's sake! The October story (now entitled "Inheritance of Fire") keeps popping into my head and suggesting plot twists.
Got 7 more critiques this morning on AMOD. Go Critters! Because I'm doing something else, I'm just printing them, popping off a thank you e-mail, and sticking the e-critiques in my oubliette. I'll look at them later when I'm not so involved with SD, although one person who critted me mentioned that she is a friend of a friend on LJ....I'll have to look into that. (I glanced at the printout).
