Writers' Round Table

[stacer]

Speaking of spell-checking, I hope you've spelled it Ascension, with an S, in anything official.  

...Oh, and good job on hitting that mark. (Can you guess which part of editing I'm the strongest at? It's not the encouragement part, I guess.)

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, I just finished Mistborn, EUOL. Hope you got all my emails.  You should have at least a sentence on every chapter you wrote.

[EUOL]

Yes, and thank you.  I'll get back to you with specifics as soon as I get done with this copy edit of ELANTRIS.

[Entsuropi]

At some point I shall read mistborn.

That point is, uh, not now >_>

[EUOL]

Whew!  642 pages into WELL OF ASCENSION.  That puts me at over halfway, even if I run long.  (Which, knowing me, I undoubtedly will.)

[stacer]

What's your personal deadline for this, again? Wasn't it February or something?

And good job!

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I am salivating already.

[stacer]

Yes, I can't wait to find out what happens next. Especially how Vin turns out.

[EUOL]

I'll have to take a good chunk of December off to do a MISTBORN rewrite.  So, the projection for WELL is probably early March, I would think.  

[MsFish]

I'm seething with jealousy, because that means that you have 642 pages on your project for 518, while I have 29, and I have to discard at least seven of those.  This is what I get for working on so many projects at once.  It's going to be a long long week.

The writing board has been sleepy lately. Just thought I'd say that chopping a 30-page paper to an 8-page paper is a lot harder than fleshing out an 8-pager to a 30-pager. Especially when that 30-pager was needing about 2 more drafts before it was satisfactory to me, anyway.

But I haven't looked at it for two days, so hopefully the time away from it, combined with friends' feedback, will make it a beeeauutiful thing by tomorrow evening.

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here.

I'm allllll the way down, under Saturday, Fantasy Perspectives on Social and Symbolic Realities. Cool, huh? I guess it's technically not my first paper presentation, because LTUE is first, but I had to turn in my paper by today, so it was fun to get the schedule.

Oh, by the way, those of you in Provo who will be around for LTUE, I also just got the schedule for that recently. I don't know if it's posted on the site or not, because I've been getting it in emails. I'll present my paper that Friday at 4. And I'll be on a few panels, if you feel like going to them. Not sure they'll be all that interesting, but it's good professional experience.
