telaryn. Ah yes -- I remember this hurting in the brain... (Reply)

Luckily for me, Jason and Diane are a little more disciplined and have a better idea of where they're going, what they're doing and why. Currently, 2/3 of the way through chapter four, Diane has secured them a line of credit with the Guild of Free Traders, and Jason has charmed his way into the local whorehouse.

The upside of this is that as my pace cranks up to what I need it to be, the words I'm spewing aren't the absolute suckage I achieved last year.

The downside is that I'm going slower than I need to if I'm going to secure the

nanonov prize. Which, this year, is a critique by

rachelcaine of the 50,000 words you write.

Which is something I and my self-confidence could desperately use at this point. The limited feedback I've gotten from Rachel in the past (on a chapter of Conscience) ended up strengthening the manuscript 100%, and completely turned around reader perception of Jason (Coleman, not Starblaze).

It'd be a nice thing to have prior to setting this particular puppy loose into the world.
