Since I have a department retreat Monday, I’ve posted the next installment of Blood is Thicker than Water at Las Habladoras today. Get YOUR weekend dosage of Victorian vampirage.

Sonya Sipes sent me an electronic copy of the Faery Taile Project to look over for a little editing. I’ve seen both stories, Lobo’s Tail by Christopher Kastensmidt and Red’s Tale by Jim C. Hines. Such a set of faerie tale torch songs you will never see! Pretty good stuff, guys. It’ll be nice to see it in print.

Yesterday, some amazing writers wrote some fun things.

Check out what Renee Sweet has to say about her secret identity.

Then read what Tiffany Trent says about the privilege of writing.

Both women are very insightful.

More to come later…

Notes from Another Revision Cave

Like pulling teeth today, we have some new words for Hulk Hercules. I have the foundations for the fall festival scene and Leo asking Diana out. Both are sketchy. More importantly, I have figured out the Dalton/Bianca/Tim plot, and have integrated a couple of place holders to get that into the story. I did some plotting and rearranging. Next session I’ll buff up those two scenes. So the Herc-o-meter hasn’t really budged, but the overall percentage is smaller.

15 / 41 (36.6%)

In Substance, Chapter 8 has been divided and trimmed. I think it’s full of melodrama and transitional events. Next up: Chapter 9, which requires Milo-lization.

261 / 386 (67.6%)

I also updated my time lines and lists. This helps me refresh my brain.
