Dreamwidth, writing
May. 11th, 2010 02:44 pmI am not yet moving to Dreamwidth, and indeed resist the idea. However, given LJ's shenanigans, I have imported my journal and icons and in a meandering way am starting to put together a reading page. At the moment, if you are cross-posting from Dreamwidth, I can read your entries on LJ, and when I click over I'm told I am not allowed to have access to the post I've just read, I will subscribe to your journal and grant you access. I hope to manage in a more systematic way soon, but things are rather hectic just now. I've also tracked down a few of you who don't have the same username there as here.
I finished Chapter 15 of the new shrunken version of my book. Then I began hunting around in the previous version to figure out what to do with Chapter 16. I ended up synopsizing the remaining chapters of Volume 1 and noting the page numbers of passages I wanted to keep. There were not many, and they don't combine to make a coherent chapter, so I'm probably going to read through the beginning of Volume 2, synopsizing as I go, and see what I can put together. In other news of writing, I was bitten by a second short story. This is ridiculous. I don't work this way. I don't even like werewolves. This story has the same setting as the first, but it's not YA. The first one presented itself very irregularly, with a plot but no theme or voice; the second is all theme and voice and has no plot whatsoever. No, they are not combinable, and NO, they will NOT become a novel.
