Notes from the Revision Cave; Updatery

[cathschaffstump]

Yesterday had to play Prof, hard. That was the (department) retreat. Today is the (writing) advance. Before we wrote today, I had to catch up hard core at the workplace, and then had to play the allergy game at the doctor. If you’re a Claritin D taker, I’ve joined your ranks. In two weeks I get to play back bingo as I get tested for allergy specifics.

I’ve also learned about the magic of the Neti pot, which you just don’t want to know about. It works, but if you’re curious enough to google it, you deserve the ew!

Let’s get on to the writing!

C.C. Humphrey’s podcast is up at Writers and their Soundtracks.

Hulk Hercules: I revised Leo asking Diana out, and Bianca at the Fall festival. Of course, I cut the following lines out, but I had to share them, because they’re goofy. Bianca’s becoming more go get ‘em than this session would belie, but I did want to put in something to mark the lurv, and then change it later.

Bianca wondered why the room always seemed to shift into a soft focus lens when Tim entered the room. She sighed, and felt like a girl in some modern vampire novel falling for the wrong species.

Herc-o-meter:

17 / 40 (42.5%)

Substance of Shadows: Revised the first two scenes of chapter 9. The first one required more revision. Milo will be on had in several scenes reflecting right along with Errol, the first of which I’ve written. Milo will also help Errol choose his new anchor. Moira is getting a little more play as well.

273 / 387 (70.5%)

Tomorrow I work half of the day (boo!) and I write throughout the afternoon and evening while Bryon has parent teachers conferences. I hope to get quite a bit done.

My wife is an avid proponent of the neti pot and is constantly trying to get me to use one whenever I have a cold. I just can't bring myself to use it, though, no matter how much she sings its praises.
