I didn't manage to complete another story last week, but "MeeblyMeep" is shaping up well. I did the obligatory print-out yesterday. As usual, I discovered all sorts of things that needed to be changed that otherwise manage to camouflage themselves on the LCD.
my_own_petard will be performing one more gracious read-through, and I'll do another. The title is still pending (although I do have a few ideas), which is (again) odd for me, but the story has so many themes and addresses a number of issues, so giving it a title becomes that much more difficult. Then again, it is a longer short story (around 7000 words) and has the distinction of eliciting a very strong downdowndown emotional response upon finishing.
Damn the bittersweet ending! It makes the little children weep.
In any case, it should be ready to be submitted this week.
Plan this week is to writewritewritedammit. And not to edit.

Hope you drank a lot of water. :D
And I'll tell you about my epic battle with Alienware some other time. Still not settled, the bastards. Is there ANY customer-oriented computer company out there?! :/

You know, I have no idea how much water I drank. A fair amount but not enough. Then again, I did two shots, and they were gargantuan. I blame this on W! His fault! He had to be at work at 7:30, so I can only imagine how he is holding up this morning. Think I'll stop typing. It hurts.
