ithildyn and ninjababe yesterday. We had dinner at Famous Dave's (sausage OMG YUM). And we talked writing and fandom and stuff and it was great. Hopefully we'll get to to it again soon. :)
In writing news, I'm having a tendency to agree that my opening scene needs toning down a bit. I've excised a paragraph, changed brass knuckles to a dog chain wrapped around the bad guy's fist, and substituted the same dog chain for the cat o'nine tails. I should also point out, somewhere in there, that a cattle prod has less zappage than a stun gun designed for humans. So, it's still evolving and continuing to SUCK LESS with every pass. I'll let you know when it ceases to suck AT ALL.
It may be awhile.
*eyes previous paragraph* I realize that it doesn't sound all that "toned down" from that description, but trust me. It also necessitated changing a sentence that I really really loved, but I didn't have to get rid of it entirely, so, WIN. Also, I think not!Harry's Mighty Sarcasm came through even more clearly, so, DOUBLE WIN.
