Ignore that woman behind the keyboard!

Tonight's feat will involve whittling and melding three 22-page Jani POV chapters into one 22-page chapter. I'm not sure I can do it. It may slop over into a chapter and a half, at which point I could fill in with one of the other two POVs, one of which has been particularly underused up to now. Except that I think it's going to have to be the other POV that's used.

Don't mind me--I sit on this ledge all the time. I even totter up and down it waving my arms and shouting imprecations to innocent passers-by.

I would really like to be on a sailboat in the middle of the lake about now.

Oh well...onward...

I've finally started Code of Conduct.
Like your writing style.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the story.

Best of luck on the whittling and the melding. I actually prefer whittling and melding to outright crafting, but it can be daunting when you're looking at the sheer quantity of changes that you currently face.

Hang in there - you've made the right choices before, and we only get better with practice, right? Right? (*Please* say right! :-) )

Um...riiiight.

(Wait, wrong inflections.)

Yeah, right.

(Wait, wrong attitude. Think Christine in Pterry's Maskerade)

Right! she said brightly!!!

but it can be daunting when you're looking at the sheer quantity of changes that you currently face.

Tell me. It's like looking at a table filled with parts, and knowing that only about a third of them fit together to form the thing I'm building. My job? Figure out which third. Thing is, I can only do that after I figure out what I'm building. At least I know the last two lines of dialogue of the whole mess. Everything points to them. I just need to get there. She said. Brightly!?!

Yow -- I am muy impressed with this goal, K, whether or not you make it. Then again, you are da bomb when it comes to writing.

The bomb turned out to be a dud. Well, maybe more a sparkler or something. I managed the first few pages, then fell asleep. After I finish breakfast and some online diddling, I'll get back to it.
