Mistborn Reads

[Peter Ahlstrom]

ooh, another blog update!

Planning 3.0 on WoK? What does that mean?

So revisions on ELANTRIS are pretty much over?

CJ Cherryh keeps track of her current word count in her blog, which she posts pretty much every day. (It seems to focus on her iceskating lessons more than anything else.)

[Spriggan]

well once we get book pages working you might see more of that stuff.  Of course adding a little box in the right hand corner of the blog to show word count might be a good idea.  What I'm thinking of doing is useing the image tag alt text to display word counts on the progress bars.  If you don't know what those are (wich I'm sure most TWGers do) just place your mouse over the house icon on the top menu.

I'm planning a major draft of KINGS, and before I do a draft, I write out a big kind of 'strategy' for the rewrite.  This lets me collect all of my ideas together, and gives me a chance to come up with theories for how to fix problems and that sort of thing.  I was doing this for KINGS, but got distracted by the MISTBORN line edit.

ELANTRIS still has one edit, I think.  I'll throw it up once I know for certain.

By the way, I'm almost finished with the book, and I'm really, really enjoying it.  I think Vin is the best girl you've ever written, by far. Just so you know.

I am coming along... somewhere with it. I've been bogged down with things right now. But my last summer class is next tuesday, so things may pick up then. And this weekend I may be going to an anime con. So where lets see where things go.

It looks like we're moving to American Fork, so I want to be put on the list of people who get to read the darn thing.

[EUOL]

So, is that good news Fuzzy?  I can't tell from your post.  (I mean about moving.  It's of course good news for me, since you'll still be close enough to read a hard copy and make comments in it.  :))

[fuzzyoctopus]

I consider it to be good news. I will consider it to be better news when it is a signed-contract-fact and just the working plan of the week.

[42]

Wow, you're moving to AF. Well if you end up staying there for a long time, you raise your kids there and send them to the same abysmal pit of High School I went to.

[EUOL]

Ah, always optimistic, 42.

In other news, I delivered 42 a copy of the Elantris map and he showed me the style he was planning to use.  It's dumbfoundingly cool-looking.  He'll probably let us post it when it's done!

[Brenna]

Well, I've finished the book. I will pass it on to the next person tomorrow. I wrote stuff in the book, EUOL, but if you want to meet sometime to talk about the book, let me know.

Oh, and Chris and I *might* be staying in the area for a while longer now--seeing as we haven't found work anywhere else (not that we've found anything here, but I have a lot more contacts in this area...). Now we just need to find a place to live before Wymount kicks us out on the 16th...

[EUOL]

Maybe I'll stop by TLE tomorrow.

[stacer]

Brenna, remember you have a contact in Boston as well. If you need me to pass along resumes, etc., let me know. Of course, Boston's not exactly a hotspot. And educational publishing is probably not what you had in mind. But at any rate, there you go.

[Mistress of Darkness]

EUOL: I finished a few weeks ago and am still trying to find time to finish my feedback and send it to you. Mathias refuses to cooperate, perhaps because he knows I will delete the file as soon as I've sent you feedback. I'm doing my best to cement your fame in the up and coming generation.

I loved it.

[Brenna]

Thanks, Stacer, I appreciate that.  And educational publishing is looking as good as anything else at the moment!
