lagilmanI watched about 15 minutes of the Oscars, and then turned to a M*A*S*H marathon instead. I'm really just not an awards show watcher. This morning I woke up with the first faint touches of a cold. The Academy takes revenge? Never mind: I shall take my Sovereign Cold Remedy and soldier on.
Crafted 2300 new words yesterday, making it halfway through chapter 7. We're 1/3 of the way through the rough draft. Yay. Today, there will be Markings with Red Pen, and more words. And there is also the stirrings of another "backstory story." I've decided to just let them run where they will, and we'll see what happens.
The weekend's output also included an off-the-cuff filk to "She's Tired," written for various agent friends. We now need to find a Worthy Cause that would inspire them to perform it....
"I've read 1000's of submissions
Again and again
They write the same thing
They start with Roberts and Heinlein
But they don't check my guideline
And the format's all wrong."
(hey, does anyone out there have the lyrics to my "What do the Published Folk Do?" I lost them in the last hard-drive migration and that made me sad... )
EtA: and for those who missed it over the weekend, my monthly essay is up at http://www.sfnovelists.com/ on "Why Continuity Matters."
