Love hurts

B-dog has actually read the whole of Vert Glace now.  He has given me some pretty good critique about the story that I will incorporate into the heavy editing I intend to do.  He pulls no punches, which is  painful in a good sort of way - kinda like waking up the next day after a really good work out.  Thanks, oh surly, grumpy, cackling, golden hearted housemate of mine.

I'm starting to edit, but I'm talking my time still because I want to make sure each chapter is as best as it can be.  Therefore, when I'm not 100% focused, I just do other writing.  Writing about Sasha Suter really helps me flesh out the world.  I find that I'm incorporating elements of that again into Vert Glace and Lordchaser.  Also, going back to the beginning after what must be now 200k words + notes in the same world makes the world building I can do so much better.  The process is invaluable to me.  this time around is the farthest I've gone in terms of writing and editing.  And I don't feel sick of the story at all yet!  That has to be a sign.  I've never felt more like an amateur.

I've been compulsively checking one person's fictionpress page because they mentioned something about possibly posting a new story this week.  Nothing yet, but I'm hopeful.
