Plans: Drawn

Finally finished going through Part Three with a fine tooth comb. When I was writing it, I wondered if the conflict between MMC2 and MFC was really enough to warrant the kind of reaction she had. Now that I read it, it does seem like something that could happen. Not to mention that R tells me that “people break up over stupider shit all the time.” He is truly a wise man.

Now all I have to do is go back to the beginning of the story and insert the changes, rewrite the bits that need help and try my damnedest not to put in any extra chapters. After that, I’m going to get it all printed up and coil bound so I can do a reading of the complete story (alpha) before I write the supplemental booklet and send it out with the pseudo-galleys to my very patient beta readers and brace myself for the onslaught of criticism that is sure to follow. I really hope this all pays off at some point.

Also, I did some of what I like to refer to as “inadvertent research” at work. Meaning that I eavesdropped on a conversation and got proof that some of the things I’d written were indeed plausible. A very sweet girl was in a long-term relationship that suddenly ended and is now having trouble referring to her current significant other as her “boyfriend.” Is it my co-worker or my MFC? The world may never know.
