Thanks.

There won't be rewrites. I'm happy with how it reads right now.

But yes, there shall be edits. That can wait till tomorrow, I think.

I've spent so much time getting this book finished these last 5 days that I don't know what to do with myself right now...

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

A great accomplishment, indeed! Maybe you should go skinny dipping. Oh wait, it's like winter there, and there's probably crocs...could be exhilirating, though.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

LOL. I've been skinny-dipping before. There weren't any crocs, though.

I'm sort of tempted to keep my momentum going, and work on a different novel for a few hours...

I'm torn between that, and reading a book. I have a book that I read the first chapter of before these last 5 days. I haven't touched it since, because I was so focussed on my own novel.

I don't know...

I'm also tempted to have a nap. :tongue

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

I'm going to work on my novel a bit tonight. Not much further to go before I'm done with the draft, I just need to rein these people in and get to the dang ending.

geez, I see that one of the newbies from this morning has already been banned. huh. that was quick.

Susie · Jul 10, 2012

'ey, all. Congrats, Cliff. Way2go! A good reason to par-tay!

Good luck w. everyone's writings.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

The end of mine happened sooner than I was expecting. Turns out that once you've spent a bloody long time building up to an ending, the pacing needs the end to be fairly quick. I hope, anyway, cause that's what happened. :tongue

And yeah, if it's the newbie I think it is, I'm pretty sure he was banned from here once before, and SK remembered him.

He seemed pretty annoying, though, so I don't mind. :tongue

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

There's the cake!! Susie always has great timing.

Hello Susie!

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

Thanks Susie.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

What's a good way to celebrate finishing the first draft?

Food? Shopping? Prank calls to celebrities?

lol! Yeah, SK didn't seem to like him much. I wasn't sure what that was all about, but now it makes sense if he'd been banned before. I trust SK's judgement anyway.

sending me pie?

okay, okay...I pick all the above.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

I think JVC was getting a bit "WTF?" as well, before SK showed up. :tongue

Maybe it was a Mod conspiracy? JVC was batting the poor troll around with mighty dragon claws, then kicked him over to SK for the hangman's noose?

There's a novel in there somewhere, I'm sure of it. :tongue

*sends pie*

I don't have any dessert on hand... A little bit of chocolate, but nothing really decadent. And I can't be stuffed walking to the shops right now.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

I might do some internet shopping/browsing.

I don't buy online if I can help it, but it doesn't hurt to find out what's out there.

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

Maybe you should buy you a pie while you're out shopping. And something for you, like a new book or something.

alleycat · Jul 10, 2012

Did someone mention pie?

yes, and it made me sad, so quit mentioning it.

*nibbles on a Cheez-it*

Sydneyd · Jul 10, 2012

I wish I had a Cheez-it!

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

Yes, pie for everyone!

The local specialty is called a Pie Floater. Basically, it's a standard Australian meat pie (meat bits, gravy, wrapped in pastry) with some tomato sauce on top, floating in a bowl of pea soup.

Yeah, you heard me. Ick!

I've never had the guts to try one. But it reminds me of words of wisdom from Dylan Moran in one of his stand-up DVDs.

"When you go to the country, they all want you to eat the local food. Don't. It's shit. That's why it's local."

(Paraphrased.)

And NF, I don't need any more books. :tongue

I only just got below 30 books in my TBR pile.

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

um...I'm sure that's the wrong kind of pie there, Cliff.

um...

*looks at empty bag*

er...how about a pringle instead?

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

Yeah. It looks as disgusting as it sounds, too. There's a picture of it at my local bakery. Ugh, no. Just no.

*bakes an apple pie* That at least I can get behind.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

I'd like some Pringles.

Ugh. I have tomato-flavoured rice cakes in front of me. Why did I think they'd taste good? They're alright... But I should've got BBQ or salt and vinegar.

do rice cakes mean something different there? because, yanno, that just doesn't sound good at all.

Caitlin Black · Jul 10, 2012

Rice cakes here seem to be big circles of cooked and puffy rice, held together somehow. They're thicker than potato chips, but not really very thick. Kind of like a McDonalds beef patty in size, I guess. And then one side has a dusting of flavour.

They usually taste pretty good. I mean, I like rice. And they have some nice flavours. But the tomato ones are just kind of... meh.

night-flyer · Jul 10, 2012

yep, sounds like the same thing. I don't believe I've seen any with flavor, though. I think they're just plain and have a texture like cardboard. :Shrug:

But it's been a while since I tried one.
