In all my flailing and nervous ninnying about last night in about 15 minutes after last night’s post I was totally struck with an Ah-Hah! Moment that pretty much fixed everything without a gross suspension of disbelief. Man I can be such a doofus sometimes. XD
In the span of two hours tonight I sat my happy ass down in a quiet space (read: my bedroom) and plowed through editing the first 50 pages of the draft. Of course right now I’m only editing the things I made notes to myself about in the proof copy. Things like certain sentences that really don’t make a lick of sense, details that need a little fleshing out (environments! hi! people! hello!), and other little easy fix tweaks. I haven’t really tackled the bigger issues yet since I haven’t totally gotten there but I’m keeping them in the back of my head. It’s mostly stuff to do with the ending/final showdown which is understandable since I wrote the damned thing in a day and was liable to miss a few crucial bits. There’s a few things I’m already considering in the beginning because it has to do with the ending but I’m thinking letting it ride and just adding clarifying bits with the discrepancies.
Anyway~ Life is unicorns and rainbows again~ *sparkles shimmers shines~*
In follow up to the Great German Chocolate Cake Debacle, Mom was brave and threw the thing out this morning. However the stench of Death Cake managed to linger in the house and no amount of Lysol was really doing the trick. It kinda faded to tolerable levels but apparently the cake plate it was on kinda sucked up the residual smell. Just ew. When I told Dad dood! Could you not TELL the cake was bad!? His response was ‘……….I thought the cake tasted kinda off. *headscritch*’
What. The. Hell.
It’s a miracle he’s not sick as a dog.
Speaking of animals, Dali’s blood tests came back and she is the picture of health and her seizures are indeed from a very mild case of epilepsy. The cat has a heart murmur, allergies, and now epilepsy. Only my four legged child wins the malady lottery.
