Half empty

Random quote of the day:


"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."

One is the loneliest number

One begins to suspect that one cannot just rewrite two and a half chapters, as one hoped, because in changing one's worldbuilding it sends ripples out through the rest of one's manuscript. One remains hopeful that after the major change in the two and a half chapters in question, one might be able to get away with minor changes in the final third of the book. But, regardless, one had better get one's arse in gear since the ms. has already been sent out on queries.

Sure glad I don't have that problem.

Could just be me
