Edited SNSM up to the rewrite bit, as predicted. Now must do deep, meaningful, stylistic rewrite.

Which is kind of intimidating, because the rest of the story is sturdy right now, and the first draft of the rewrite is thin. *insert angst here*

Gone for next 3 days to Minneapolis for author education/professor educating. Me n Baba Yaga will see you on the flip side of that.

Bryon has read and given chapter 3 the content thumbs up. Chapter 4 is well underway. I hope to be done with it by the end of the week.

Went to Convergence this weekend and in addition to playing and having a good time with friends, also worked on writer edumatation. Learned that YA Fantasy and Paranormal Romance are hot, and learned a lot about who's doing what kinds of writing. Know your area, oh writer. Approach it cleverly. Know who's doing what, and how you compare, not superficially, to your peers, rather than your idols.

Onward. A few things left to do today.
