dragonlady7I'm gonna do something un-kosher, and repeat a joke. Fictioneers, I'm sorry.
Stolen from this comic strip, a conversation with Dave via IM.
Me: My plot sucks!
Me: No, wait, it's awesome!
Me: ...
Me: Dammit, now it sucks again!
Dave: Maybe it just sucks really well.
But seriously, folks. Major plot revisions. HOWEVER, unlike LAST TIME, I only lose about 5k words by it, and being the noodge that I am, i'm not going to take them out of my wordcount, because I WROTE THEM DAMMIT. So they're staying in underneath the revisions.
edit: Shit, it's more like 8,000 words.
That's like 2 days' work.
*weeps*
But it's OK. This will be better. They were 2 days I wasn't thrilled about. Two days of very poor acting on the part of my main characters.
("Oh, it's you," he said. Duh.)
But still. 2 days.
The writing should be easier now, though. At least it's not like the 3-4 months I lost with the last novel. ("Sweet, none of this applies at all. I rule!"-- me, April, reading everything I'd written.)
