Day 4 ~ Blatant Revisionism

Okay, it's official.

Backlash Girls is the book I'm writing this month.


(Yes, this is a mini-collage for the book. Yes, Ouran's Kyoya is pertinent.)

State of the NaNo

For one thing, the other project I tried to start is just not mature yet.
(My judgment about this has been way off lately, so I'm trying to be more careful. The signs are, it still needs to wait a bit.)

And I was reading it aloud to my sister, and my brother Dan joined, both laughing enough they got hysterical, when *everything* was funny.
Which is the kind of fuel I need to keep going. I'm more of a performer than I think.


Also, my heroine and a few of the other characters have started taking on that extra dimension of life that's so important. (Sometimes you just need to keep plugging secondary characters in until you have Chemistry...) So, that's that.



Snippet:
in which superhero costuming is just concluding...

When we were done, I noticed a woman with steel curls close to her head and the expression of a vet watching us from the entry to the stairs.

“Hello Freedom,” she said. “What a perfect hero name. You're going to be sorry.”

“That I got turned into a Power? If that's a warning, you're late to the party.” I collapsed dramatically to the floor, and winced away from the construction-sign orange on my legs. “Orange. Curse you, Ena, I hate orange.”

This is Wolf...Wolf was not in my plans, but now the plans have been rewritten. (As if I wrote a plan...)
