50112!!!
I cleared the 50K today, and may even finish the novel tonight. Apparently one of the reasons I revise is to grow novels to an appropriate length… Anyway, whew.

I won!
IwoniwoniwoniwoniwoniwoniwonIWON! I WON! Oh, and you’d never guess that I’m excited about it, I’m sure. What did I win? I won a download of Holly Lisle’s ebook Create a Character Clinic through a contest held last week at PaperBackWriter’s blog.

More synopsisizing
My life this week has been revolving around the aforementioned synopsis. Our FM marathon on the topic just got underway yesterday, and it will be quite a challenge to keep up as about a dozen people have signed up. Folks have been posting and picking apart hot premises already, but there aren’t too many full…

Aargh
Thanks, Mar, for the loan of your muse. The only reason she’s helping me at all is because she heard there’s a polar bear on her tail, and she’s trying to stay ahead of it. I haven’t bothered to tell her that Inuit is (mostly) harmless, because I’m not perfectly sure that’s true, and because…

and its GONE
Just before noon today I hit *send* on the emails bearing Marks of Repentance off to my critiquers. After completing the last thirty pages of editing that I’d had to leave yesterday, I ran a few *find* functions. Two were for *minute* and *hour*. Hey, I found WAY more of those than I would have…

An author weighs in on *how much* to include
From the journal of Author Elizabeth Bear, They Must Need Bears: On exposition: like everything else in writing, it’s a tension, and a line that you will wobble back and forth over a thousand times while you learn your craft.

And about writing…
Wednesday was one of those frustrating non-writing days. I SO hate when that happens. I’m a moderator over at Forward Motion and one of the boards I help to oversee is the Young Writers’ Scene. This section is private, and can only be accessed by kids under 18 (and their trusty moderators) upon approval. It…
