5 things make a post
Oct. 3rd, 2010 08:10 pm1. Thursday morning, I get up butt early to hop on a plane to Colorado with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shvetufae for Sirens. Any chance I'll be seeing any other flisters there? (aside from the lovely ladies I'm rooming with, of course)
2. Thankfully I don't get these very often, but it always makes my brain blow up a little when you get a story comment along the lines of "I don't understand how Joe got to the store. Did he walk? That seems like a long way to go, so I'm not sure if he would of made it there in time to run into Mary if he walked" and you're like, "Um, the first sentence of the previous paragraph says, 'Joe got in his car and drove to the store.'"
3. Not much to report on the writerly front. This week has been spent puzzling over how to restructure chapter 2 so that it's a little more "people do stuff" and a little less "people think about stuff." I think I'm going to move some chapter 5 bits into this earlier chapter. Then comes smoothing the seams so that the bits flow and don't seem like no more than a cut-and-paste job.
4. I generally don't post about politics and other potentially divisive topics. I'm not saying that I don't think anyone should post about those things (many of my friends do), just that I have my reasons for not doing so. But man, do I ever find myself muttering "What the !@#$ is wrong with people?" lately. That is all.
5. Back to the trivial: shoes. When a pair of shoes I love because they're both cute and comfortable finally die on me, 99% of the time I will never be able to find that particular style again. Thankfully, today was that 1% of time when I not only found the same style again, but in my size and color of preference. Oh happy shoe day!
