Crack news

First draft of new chapter of Resurrection is done. It needs major arse kicking editing, and who knows if I'll decide to add another scene or two, but the draft is done. Who'd have believed it would ever happen? It's only taken *mumble*.

I'm in my usual state of wavering between glee and disgust at it. Right now, it's longer than any other chapter except Rumors, which was a monster, and it's not that much shorter, at 25,000 words. Editing is going to make me cry.

No promises on when I'll be ready to post, but my tolerance for editing is not endless. So, if you don't remember what's been going on, it might be time to do some recollection refreshing. This chapter is heavy on plot (no wonder it took me so long to get it out), and, as usual, the chapter just picks up where the last one left off.

As much as I want to pummel the draft for being sucky, I'm kind of excited. This chapter has a lot of stuff in it that I've been working toward since when I first decided to make this into a series. Now that the end (of the chapter, not the series), is finally in sight, I'm anxious to see what you guys think. But first I have to finish it.

Tomorrow is a good day for it -- I'll be dying babysitting the office for the whole 8 6 5.5 hours I plan on being there.

I finally posted the last Lonely Island video. Andy Samberg + T-pain might just make your crackified evening. Just leave Tor and Percy to me...

Hope you're not having too bad a day. Posted, btw.

And please, do take Tor and Percy, everyone would be very appreciative. :)

Your persistence should be rewarded (relatively) soon. :D

issokay, take your time, 25,000 words of crack I can wait for another year, even. ;)

You really don't want to be encouraging me to procrastinate . . . .

[identity profile] toujours-nigel.livejournal.com 2009-02-17 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
erm... no. But I also don't want to nag, being as I'm sure you've got more than enough people to do that. ;P
