I realized last night that I can't actually rest for the next two days.

Instead, the next two days will be spent researching Hebrew names and word meanings so my angry and bitter little angel and his demonic compatriots will have good names.

And I think I've figured out why they keep assigning him serial killers and other terrible people. Motivations are important here. This may be another one of those "Big Idea" stories. I know for a fact that it won't fit in 5,000 words. I'm okay with that. I'm not okay with it turning into a novel, but I'm okay with a novelette. If it stays under 17,000 words, I'll be happy.

I'm really looking forward to writing this one.

• Sat, 12:36: Yet another editing pass. More description, more emotion. This might be easier if I weren't emotionally stunted. #whywritersdrink #deadlines
• Sat, 20:23: Second editing pass done, manuscript properly formatted for submission. I'll go over it MAYBE twice more and call it good.
• Sat, 22:43: Fly, be free, little story! I still get that fluttery feeling in my chest whenever I send a new story winging into the wild.

LJ. STAHP.

The varnish errors can quit anytime now.

That being said, I've decided that rather than resting on my laurels now that the steampunk werewolf western is off into the wild and I've got names for my characters in the angry bitter angel story, I'm going to work on Outline #7 for the NaNo Project o'Doom. I'm pretty sure that I'll be okay with six outlines, but there's no sense in not having a buffer if it's possible to have one. I'm sitting at the midpoint right now, so progress has been made.

So I've got Alex attempting to cure brain cancer and inadvertently causing a localized bunny zombie apocalypse instead. Whoops. Because, let's face it, the vampire lycan-bunnies were hilariously awful. Zombie bunnies will be too.
