Dec. 11th, 2011 03:23 pmI have good news but I can't get excited about it at the moment, I don't know if that's because publishing an actual book and not a short story is scary (scary!) or because the combination of cold medicine/back pain medication is making me a little loopy.
Damn. I need a nap.
But Will and Charlie! Woo hoo!!!
I don't think I can make soup right now. Maybe it's time to go crazy on Christmas cookies the way I did at the dolla store this morning. Hmm.
Or shit. Maybe just some tea and passing out.

Oct. 7th, 2011 01:24 pmOkay, people who've read Charlie and Will (hereafter to be referred to as either "Chills" or by its working title, "Play It Again, Charlie") I need your last minute complaints/thoughts now, because I've got to get this bitch out before I go insane with it and at this point when I look at it I either blank out or get way too obsessed with commas.
(Delete the comma. Replace the comma. Stare at sentence. Delete the comma. Realize it's not a crucial sentence after all and delete the whole sentence. Scroll down and realize that sentence was actually there to set up something later and was crucial. Oops. Undo "delete". Go back to staring at commas.)
It's getting me nowhere because I can't tell what needs editing anymore. Argh.
I'm gonna go back to reading about Barbados. For research purposes, honestly. It isn't like I can go there.
:(

Sep. 2nd, 2011 05:55 pm373 pages is a publishable length for a small-ish epublisher, right? haha
Or not.
I hope no one was too attached to that last Charlie/Will sex scene, cuz I done cut it. It gone. They needed more talking than humping. Hmm but I might need someone to read it who hasn't suffered through all these previous versions and the babble.
and probably I need to go through again and cut some more from back when I wrote a whole section for NaNoWriMo and just babbling 50,000 words but I want a fresh opinion before I do that
You interested in this. lol
I'll shaddup now. But I am so pleased with myself for cutting it down even this much I had to share. :)

Aug. 23rd, 2011 03:22 pmI don't have money to buy these things, but how long is the average published m/m romance novel, would you say? in either book or ebook form. I think the minimum word count is supposed to be at least 70k, right? And most places will accept up to 120k, I think.
Are some/most/any longer than that?
Also I've been editing so much I can't tell if Charlie and Will are boring or if I'm just tired. Ay de mi!
