Novel

All 412 pages of my novel safely printed out. Now I can do some paper editing. Should be fun. Am realizing exactly how crappy my 16-17 year old writing is, and even some of the 18-19 year old stuff. The novel's changed entirely; I may get rid of the vast majority of the teen humor and go for a lot of coherent social coding with little gems of moments tucked in ... that I think I can do.

Expect, btw, a lot of babble concerning my novel to be outpouring. Rather vague, as well; I'm hesitant to discuss something this close to me. May not even show the entire thing to Darkside as yet.

Read/shared excerpts with a lot of people, but offhand, only people I can think of who have been allowed to read the entire thing: Josh, Mommie Alice, Kimmiebeth, Lady E., my other ex-girlfriend, and Shawn.

Shawn scared me into the plot, though... I shall always have to thank him for that. Lauren got to read quite a bit of it; so did Bryan...

...These days, I want to have it good before I let Darkside at it. He deserves no less.
