Good news, bad news...

The good news is that the left side of my mouth is done. Yay. Not only that, but today's dental visit didn't cost anything.

The bad news is that now they get to go to work on the right side of my mouth. He doesn't know yet if I need a root canal and crown there yet; I'll find out next week. Whee.

So much hate for this. Also, my mad needle fear got a workout today. *sigh* I guess I should finish reading the not!kkbb/im thing and implementing the changes that need to be done, with that fresh in my mind. Because projecting my own fears onto one of my characters lends verisimiltude!

Also, I have a new adventure in mind for not!Harry and not!Perry. We'll see how it shakes out...

ALSO. I LOVE YOU ALL MADLY. You know that, right? *smishes flist HARD* Thank you so so so much for your comments last night. Sometimes I feel a little lonely here, and it's lovely to see that most people truly are tolerant of people who disagree with them. My faith in humanity is somewhat restored. THANK YOU.

Oh my heck, y'all.

I'm still doing my read-through of the not!kkbb/im novelthing. It hangs together remarkably well for something that I never outlined and didn't have an endgame for until I was 70,000 words in. I should finish by tomorrow, and then y'all can have it. Still one slot open; if anyone not on the list wants it, sing out. Also, lady_moriel, I still need your email address.

I checked the guidelines at Baen's for book manuscripts, and they like lengths of 100K-130K, but "if your novel is really wonderful send it along regardless of length." They don't require an agent, and they want the full manuscript with a synopsis.

This, naturally, makes me wonder if I can pad the thing another 15,000 words or so. Is there a subplot I'm not exploring, something that needs expanding upon--a subplot I could possibly add?

AUGH.

Well. First, I need to finish this read-through. With its teeny tiny print. Nearly there...

In news of my mouth, the novocaine has worn off and 800mg of ibuprofen has taken care of the pain quite handily. Yay.
