Things that no one cares about:

 I have a map!



Again, with the no one at all caring, but a map!  Not that it is an accurate map, but, you know, generally evocative of the landscape.

I am nearing the climax of the story, which is always a nerve wracking event, whatever I'm writing.  But this is just making it work.  Yesterday I was terrified of writing this one scene where my villain(?) gets her say, and I had to convince myself that the insinuations of lesbian incest was indeed all in my head, and was not obvious to everyone else.  This is something that I will need an outside opinion on.
If Sailor Moon taught me anything, it taught me that calling them cousins only makes the romantic notions worse.

Now I have to go write about the death of a squirrel.  :(

Thank you!

I love that script too, it's Dali, if you want to find it.
I actually have a full draft, which is awesome! 267pp! And am now plugging away at the revisions. I actually think all the fanfic i've been writing really helped me on this. it taught me that if it is not fun to write, it won't be fun to read, so I just let myself enjoy it.

I will tell you what I tell everyone, whether they are writing papers or novels, or stories, "you will not know if the beginning works until you write the end, so keep moving!"

Of course, one of my notes for my revisions reads, "sinister crochet," so I have no idea if I know what I'm talking about. :D

Nice! A full draft is very cool and I'll track down that script to add to my font collection. My current favorites include one called Creepy Girl with is almost never appropriate although I occasionally toy with the idea of turning in a paper in it to mess with their minds. Anyway, the advice sounds plausible so I'll keep it in mind. Good luck with the "sinister crochet" which probably makes much more sense in context.

Oh and I wanted to thank you for introducing me to Four Winds, I haven't investigated the rest of The Killer's oeuvre yet, but I'm obsessed with that song and how awesome it is.
