lizvogelHad a most pleasing weekend-plus with the charming and talented signeh, which included much discussion of life and of writing.
It's so very refreshing to have a beta-reading session with betas (signeh and the housemate) who (a) get what I'm trying to do, (b) are capable of staying on-topic, and (c) can actually have an intelligent and useful discussion about a piece of fiction. We came up with some good insights on the sticky bit in chapter 10 of the novel. Fixing it is still going to be mighty hard work, there's no way around that, but thanks to them I've at least got a sound plan of attack.
Now I just need to be able to, you know, attack it. My typically uneventful life has suddenly acquired a batch of rush-job paid work, a rush-job job application... and my Ficathon Walks Into A Bar story is due, er, today. So much for going out to play in the lovely warm sunshine!
