is going great guns. I'm averaging 3 chapters a day (re-writes! I hasten to add!), just put #38 to bed, ten more to go. No more glaring errors have become apparent in this newer bit (yet ) and I reckon, so long as no more plot holes of the size you saw trams sticking out of during the war (this has happened before!) appear, and I can keep up this killer pace I can have the second draft finished by the end of the week. Then I start on the third and final draft.

I'm already perusing the agencies, thinking about the submission and I feel quite good about this story. I'm reading it and getting that odd creeping feeling in my digestive organs that says, this isn't actually half bad. See my delusions, see them scream...

Anyway, it's shaping up to be around 146,000 words when it's done which is, I reckon, getting on for 500 paperback pages which is quite a mighty tome as tomes go.

Whatever am I going to do with myself when it's done? ;o)

But hey, whatever because it's the WEEKEND! my babies! Let us laugh at the clouds, don bobbly purple bri-nylon Y-fronts and DANCE in the rain for the life, she is short and the rain, never ending so we might as well get used to it. ::waggles Yoda finger. nods sagely:: As for the fic, my writing partner has buggered off north of the border which means I can do what I like to those poor, poor boys for a full seven days! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

See, I've obviously led a tame and sheltered life, having never worn purple bri-nylon Y-fronts to dance in the rain. I shall try it at the first opportunity. God knows, we've got enough rain; might as well put it to good use.

Whoohoo for the novel! You're chomping through it at a scary rate - go you!

Too cool for subject(anonymous) [screened]

Alan Fluff Freeman!

I think I may need a bit of a lie down now *g*

Sending a fine assortment of chocolate-covered pool boys to soothe your fevered brow. I promise none will be wearing bobbled nylon Y fronts.

3 chapters a day is pretty quick.

Only re-writes, not actual writing. :o)

It won't be that long at all before you send your baby off! Good luck! =>}

Seven days to work on the boys! Woohoo! *g*

Hmmm. Maybe. Since 5am, I've been tormented by all the things that could be better, you know? I'm still thinking I might send the submission out after 2nd draft though, agents are usually so slow, I reckon I can have completed a 3rd draft before anyone asks to see it (assuming I get lucky and they do) :o)

That sounds like a plan. Good luck with it! =>}
