oh, okay
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Brandon To Write Wheel of Time Book 12

So seriously, as I don't go to any of TWOT sites, but I have read the books twice... (FMP I hope that qualifies me for some prize) How do they know that Noal is Jain Farstrider? did Jordan mention that? cause it's not mentioned in the books (that I can remember) although it seems that's where he's leading it (or was leading it, since he's not leading anything anywhere now...)
I think we should have a 'who killed Asmodean?' thread here so that when Brandon reveals it....... Okay well I had a reason, but then the baby cried and I've forgotten. Just cause it'd be fun I guess

Since I'm about as computer savvy as my grandmother I don't know if this is a big deal, or if its just something my computer does but when I go to the site or click on a link in the site just for about a second, half a second or something, the screen goes white except for a few symbols in the upper right hand corner.
I mention it cause it's not very smooth transitioning from one spot to another, and you wanted to know if there was anything we saw.
Oh and I use Firefox. But I don't know if that matters.

Ditto.
except I think I've figured it out already, so I await the moment when I can either say, "HA! I told you so!" to all my family or just keep quiet.
I'm wondering how SE is feeling about this!?

So my internet friend told me today that she decided to go to the library and get a Brandon book, since I've been raving about them so much. She was complaining that she couldn't get one cause the waiting list was so long. Just thought You'd all like to know that.

I need to add something. Can I just tell you that I'm as happy as a lark right now. You've given me two pieces of awesome news. The Wheel of Time will be finished, and it's by someone I have confidence can do the job well. PLUS it happens to be the other favorite author I have at the moment. Hooray!

I announced it on our families web board... so lets see that's my husbands 12 siblings, their wives, and at least 29 grandchildren.
Yeah, you're right, not enough. I'll have to start emailing my friends too.
so much for ambiguity.

That makes me think of the time the fan went out on our car. We live in Phoenix area and I was massively pregnant (like 8 months or so) It was September ish and hot (we're talking +105) and I'm driving along when I happen to look down and see the heat is WAY up. I remembered being told that if you have an overheating car turn your heater on and it will blow the hot air into the car.
so there I am big belly, +105 temp, stuck in traffic with my heater blasting in my face.... it got the car to cool down but I've never wanted a cold shower so bad as I did when I got home.
So, if you wanted to know, when your car overheats, turn on your heater! it works, but I also would suggest fixing the problem before you end up like me.

I don't know if this counts but.... I feel bad because I ask to much of my husband with not much return (see now I'm already feeling defensive and want to explain myself, but this is a tell-all thread so I'll bare my soul to you complete strangers)
Example being that I asked for a specific quilting frame for christmas, so a week ago the UPS guy shows up with this HUGE heavy box. A quilting frame, but a bigger and better one than what I wanted. Now what's up with that! I know he's just trying to show his unending love for me but it really gets on my nerves and then I say something and feel totally bad afterwards.
I mean I understand why he did it, but I have to criticize, I can't just say, 'wow, thanks honey.'
I also expect him to do the dishes when he gets home but I don't fold the clothes and I avoid doing the dishes during the day. This makes me feel lazy to admit. I wonder how I'd express these feelings to him... or should I?
I've decided I'm just an ornery person and I can't imagine how my children are going to survive to adulthood without some sort of therapeutic needs.
Wow... I think I might have opened a pandora's box here....

Now that we have these great manuscripts I'm wondering how everyone revises, what are some tips, tried and true tricks, anything you would warn against. How do you go about revising?
