Yay, an Airianna update! I am glad you got the commenting and miscellany edits completed in good order. Now you can focus for the remainder of the week on the drafting portion. Is the writing going smoothly, overall?

I'm glad. And I know you can do the rest, Airianna.

I started work on the 3rd stage of the character fractal, but the first step is hard to do when it's an alternate world ( A multiverse at that) with a very hazy theology and worldview.

Right now, I want to give it an actual title.

Well, it was, and then it wasn't. But I had a major breakthrough today! I wrote 2,000 words today (in additon to all the other stuff earlier), and am now into chapter 3, second scene.

So I'm excited and back on track.

Excellent work, Airianna.

*tosses cupcakes* Believe me, I totally know how the on again, off again thing goes. I am really glad God got you over the hump. 2k is awesome. (That's a NaNoWriMo pace - with Sundays off! - by way of comparison.)

I'm excited too.

Well done, that's a nice big chunk to write in one day.

*is fascinated by the comparison, since she has never done Nano *

We are getting closer, Elanor.

I suppose I should come back and update.

In the course of one month, I went from being two chapters behind schedule to almost three chapters ahead. Yay for Spring Break! I only have one section of chapter eighteen and all of chapter nineteen remaining. I hope to finish by the end of the month, but we'll see how things go with exams and such.

Sound like good progress there, Raven! Well done.

Oh! Raven! That is amazing! Hooray!

Nice, Raven Z.

Still no progress, Macbeth is overwhelming my brain and making it go all fuzzy.

Ahhh!!! *squeals * So, how soon do I get it, then?

That's great, Raven!

*likes Airianna's response*

I've been waiting to get my number three Beta hands on the piece.

*grins*



It should arrive in your inbox sometime in May.



And I've been waiting to finish so I can read your comments.

*rubs hands happily *

Cool, Brendan.

*also rubs hands* *looks down and notices they have tell-tale signs of being a critiquer on them* *hides them behind back and continues rubbing*

*chuckles* Oh, dear. We're getting splatitis here.

The one I'm currently working on is my retelling of Robin Hood. *points to first logline in signature*

In September, I'll be starting a fantasy in the world with the races. *points to second logline*

If you want to know more, you can always feel free to PM/chat/email me. Certain people *coughAndrewGraceAubreycough* can tell you that I can often blather for hours about my novel.

*tosses cupcakes around as a preventive measure*

Wow, Brendan! That's epic! What book are you working on?

Sounds good.

Doing little things on Firmament -- I wrote the special thanks, and am now doing line editing, number changes, and other such things. Until tax season is over, that'll be it.

But when tax season is over...

*grins*

Oh yes indeed.

But, even so, all that line-editing stuff is necessary. Any progress is a thing off the checklist towards publishing!

Tax season? *momentary panic which soon dissipates* Oh, that's right. I didn't owe anything.

I don't think I'll work on my fractal today. I'm to tired, and these contest entries need written first.

I've reset my goals(I'm doing really bad at keeping them. ), and my short-term goal is 10k by the end of the week.

8.4/10k

That's a good goal, Vivace. I hope it goes well for you. I know you can do it!

Things were going so well... but my computer has crashed. I now no longer can finish my goal. I was close, but thus is life.

We understand.

End of The Day Total: 9,029 words.
Words Written Today: 839

Of course we understand; there's nothing you can do about it. *Hugs*




Well done, Vivace.

It's not fun to have to give up on goals.

No... it is not, but thank you all for being so wonderful and understanding.

Oh yes, we understand completely. I'm just grieved your computer crashed, for multiple reasons.

You can do it, Vivace! I'm expecting a report at the end of the day.

**falls in, lying on a giant book** Well, not that giant.....

I reached 10k today!

Now for a new goal.....hmm....

15k by the end of the next week! And then I'll be over half-way done!

Whoo! Well done, Vivace! That is awesome; good work!

I like this, I like this a lot.

Happy news!!

Well, right now I'm at 13,557 words. I don't think I'll be able to reach my goal, but hitting 14,000 words won't be hard. I'll try again next week.

That's the spirit! Keep pressing forward and trying again.

Weekly Goal: 17,000 words by Saturday

I'm likin' this!

I have an update. I'm at 15,000 words! I may be able to catch up and get to 20,000 words by the end of Saturday!

My current plot status is nearing the delivery of the letter. So I estimate that another 20k should remain in it. I'll have to see.

*happy cheer* Fantastic work, Vivace! *tosses cupcakes* Go for 20k - even if you can't make it, you'll still make epic progress.

Well done, Vivace!

About to send Firmament off to my great-uncle, a retired general surgeon, to check on the medical details.
