Technical Writer Stuff

I hate it when people talk in "Sweet Valley Girl" speak. Mom's doing it and it twists my insides into bad knots and stuff.

Making plenty of progress with Caedmon and he's tying into the whole Carden/Antiphos mess very well. I'll be writing actual story soon-this is all backstory stuff I'm working on.

I figure if I get the events of twenty years previous written down someplace, I'll have that to refer to when I have questions about what kind of motives these characters would have faced with a specific situation.

Yeah, yeah. Overly technical and crazy, but this is going to help with these guys so much when I go to rewrite most, if not all of the second half of the book.

There's a big development I won't talk about with the first part-I am terribly unsure of what I want to do and I really want to keep it to myself at this moment. If I do go with the new idea, it will completely change the first half as far as setting, characters, location...everything. It won't look remotely like the story I originally wrote and that's why I'm so reluctant to do it. A lot of the good things I wrote in the first part would be gone-not sure I want to do it.

By the way, one month to my birthday!

Gotta go. Dinner's on. I have a lot of thinking to do.

Ta,
Bec
