Ugh

Dispatch had nothing today.

So, I edited. I'm 95 pages into a 117 page novel. Why they gotta be hating on omniscient PoV anyway? I WANT to know what all the characters are thinking. Maybe not in a "Janet! Brad! Janet! Dr. Scott! Rocky! Ugnh!" round robin sort of way, but I want more than just one person's PoV, esp. during sex.

Got some written on Games and some on Collared Hearts.

So, after dinner, I'll make a big push and finish the last 23 pages.

And then I can get onto my other deadlines:
ASAP: Games
March: Collared Hearts
April: Torqued Fairy Tales
May 1: Men in Uniform 2

And novel work in all the interstices.

i agree. personally I think it's just dumbing down. In the same way that they have now changed "lettuce was a soporific" to "lettuce made Peter sleepy" in Peter Rabbit. I am against dumbing down, me.

Damn it!

Now I'm imagining all your character from that novel of yours I beta'd in a pile in bed talking in a round robin that way. It's ridiculous. Stop it at once!

You mean the one that runs:
"Nicholas?"
"David."
"Nick."
"Sir?"
"Valerio!"
"Ugnh!"

I'll stop when I can quit giggling.
(esp since using the muses, Nick's voice is lower than James')

I told you not to do that

Quick, everyone, refrain from spanking her!
