This evening, I may try out the 'online countdown timer and writing method'. Dinner soon.

Well it'll go off when you're out of time, I guess. I don't know. I time myself with WoD.

Because I'm more or less following Susan Dennard's revision guide, and that's what comes next. It's so you can see all of the scenes easily--basically, it's the same as doing a scene list on index cards prior to writing, but doing it for the sake of revisions instead.

I didn't know David Tennant was Barty Coruch Jr. In HP&GOF. He was Doctor Who or whatever, right?

Yes, he was, lol. And yeah, he had a nice minute or so of screen-time in GoF. He's also in the new Fright Night.

Revision method: http://susandennard.com/for-writers/ Scroll down until you get to the Revising Your Novel section. There's a lot of different pieces of it.

Oh yeah! I need to go read it over again though. By time I looked at my PM box last night it was like 2am so I was going "sleeeeeeeep".

And I feel incredibly awesome right now. Apparently when Susan (same one) saw a reference to an alternate Italy in a new publishing deal, she thought of me right away thanks to all the hints I've dropped about Weeping. When people I look up to think of me, I feel like win :D

Yup, just read it and answered. (But even 1.5k is like WHOA TOO MUCH at 2 in the morning.)

That website looks good. I'll give it a proper look once I get a chance.

I hero-worship Susan Dennard.

...Well, not really. But she's awesome and I seriously want to hang out with her someday. I read her blog every day.

I think I need to rewrite LL, so I can work out whats wrong with it (why I haven't been working on it recently).

I'm also wondering if it would be better to work on something new for awhile.
