NaNo wordcount, after an extremely productive day, now stands at 13232, almost two day's worth ahead of the par. Total wordcount stands at 19031.

I was informed by one of my betas that they were still upset over a character death a full day after reading that section.

It appears I'm doing something right...



The sad thing is, I found myself trying to invent another character to stand in for and thus save the one that got perished, but then I realized they'd have to be just as likable and engaging for it to still matter.

Yes, and some of us are still miffed, PG.

AG - be careful what you post where in this section.
We're not suppose to post original ideas where JB might run into them
unknowingly and without warning.  You might inadvertently use an idea JB wants to use and
then he'd have to not use that idea because there would be no way to
prove that he had that idea first.

You didn't have to take it out, TAG.
You could just have put it in spoilers.
Sorry, wasn't meaning to rain on your parade.

I'm pretty well set at the moment, the one's I've got keep plenty on my plate as far working in their edits and the feedback goes.  When I get the first draft completed and am looking for more eyes on content/storyline/flow then I'll keep you in mind though!

(My betas are also kind enough to act as poor man's editors, pointing out those types and broken thing senteccebroken thing senteccbroken thing sentences that crop up.  THANKS, GUYS!)

It was a literary allusion; I was actually born in 1973 so I'm not as much older than you as taking that comment literally would imply.  (Nor am I in the habit of snorting things. Caffeine and sugar are pretty much my limits as mind-altering substances go.)

Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

"What do you mean, Lawful Silly isn't a valid alignment?"

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

indeed. And I have a stepson who already has the "making me feel like an old fogey" thing totally nailed down, thanks. (Sweet tentacled gods, he's six years older than you.)
