The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Quickie

I'm a typing fool today, and yesterday and tomorrow and ...

It's evaluation time and I get to type all 157 sections. (I'm only guessing about the 157. *g* It is a paper box full, though.)

Last night was the last class. YEA! That was a lot of work, BUT, I got a lot of writing done that I wouldn't have otherwise. Last night I uncrimped a spot that had gotten all bolluxed up and boring and nothing really going on. Not that chapter nine is a rollicking roller coaster, but at one point I had scratched out a half page of writing and noted on the side, "This is boring!" When I'm not chastising myself for being a hack writer, I tell myself it's one of those brilliant lulls that James Cameron uses so well. *BIG wink*

I expect to get a LOT of writing done the next few weeks. It's so frustrating to know how the damned thing is going to finish and not have the time to just put down the words. I want to finish it so Kate can rip it to shreds and make something decent out of it. *nuther big wink*

Type away, you typin' fool! I don't envy you. I can't type well at all (I've already retyped half the words in this little post).

You're typing the evaluation comments? We just get the raw forms with hand-written comments on them. I can just imagine the look our secretary Barbara would give if it were suggested that we wanted them all typed out.

Cameron...uh...yeah.

I'm looking forward to the slash and burn. ;-)
