codemer Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thought I'd mention that Procrastination Station has just reached eight pages. A record for us. -Thoth. Just noticed that. Wow.

Steve E Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just noticed that. Wow. Thoth, you are the master procrastinator! You're not so bad yourself Mr. Closing-In-On-400. But the Station represents only a tiny portion of my heroic total. I'd do more procrastinating but I keep putting it off. -Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codemer Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Happy Birthday, Callista, Storyist Extraordinaire! Happy birthday dear Cali, There's cake in the alley, The icing is green, The graffiti obscene, And the guests are all a bit smelly. And on that note, good night.

Steve E Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Where is Calli anyway? Did her folks impound her Mac? If she has any sense (and we know she does) she's out partying with her (off-line) friends on her 25th birthday. Today she should be nursing her after-party hangover/snuggle. (All those rum-soaked overmuffins!) Perhaps we'll hear from her this weekend. This is lovely, Thoth! How creative of you! Web gifts for Web friends. But I thought Isaac's poem was pretty cool. So when's your birthday, M'Lady? -Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an Aries. Surprise, surprise. I just updated my profile, although I think it very uncool of Invision to refuse to accept a person's birthdate without the year....

astillac Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Right, I've got my own, random, non forum related milestone, but... THE FIRST DRAFT IS FINISHED! Actually, I finished it in early 08, (which, incidentally, has become BA - Before Andy), but I finished it longhand, in many legal pads, and thus had to type it all up. I had lost all the momentum for it, but Alex sat down and - in less than a day - typed all that was left. <3 I'm a really slow typist compared to him. All that programming must give him an edge. Anyways, yeah, now to edit, I guess. - Calli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Congratulations Calli On your first draft And now on to the part most dreaded by writers: the first draft edit! Oh the places you'll go, the errors you'll see. Herman Melville started writing a little story about the blubber rendering trade whose first draft got completely re-written into a story about the perils of obsession when he introduced Shakespearean literary devices in the second draft. He renamed it Moby...something... Call me Ishmael, -Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marguerite Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 THE FIRST DRAFT IS FINISHED! Anyways, yeah, now to edit, I guess. - Calli Yahoo! You go, girl! That's a huge milestone—and what do you mean, it's not forum related? Didn't you type it into Storyist? If I can harass people with my book summaries (thanks, Isaac and, er, Ishmael, for your input), you can certainly announce your rough draft. The first draft edit is actually my favorite part (I know, I'm very strange. Must be all those overmuffins ). I have a strong enough feel for the story that I'm comfortable exploring my options, but I haven't yet gone through it to the point where I just want to hurl printout at the wall and grunt like Arnold the Superchimp. So when do we get to see the opus, or at least hints thereof? Congratulations again, Marguerite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astillac Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks guys. I'm really excited. It's still too early for me to have any sort of thematic vision for it; it's still just a long stringing together of story bits. I'm trying to figure out if I should print it out and edit it on paper (I'm a paper kind of girl) or if I should be thrifty with my time and money and just edit it in Storyist. And just to make you laugh - I killed someone in the end of the first book that I had used in the plotting of the second book. - Calli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The nicest thing about fiction, Calli, is that you can play goddess. If you want this character in the second book then just figure out how to bring it back to life. Simple. God of my very own micro-universe, -Thoth.
