Action packed weekend

Today was a day of many things.  I'm up to Chapter 33 of Throne of Glass and I'm still learning a lot about writing.  I'm making a study of female protagonists, as the main character in the books I am seriously working on features a female lead.  Celaena Sardothien is a different breed.  She is simultaneously fun, moody, angry, vulnerable, strong, naive, capable, prideful, doubting... many things.  There are many aspects of the book that make me raise an eyebrow, but that's good too - it highlights my expectations as a reader and my prejudices.  for example, I find it difficult to reconcile the idea of a successful assassin with a trusting and girly nature.  Of course, I'm not at the end of the book yet.  I'm probably going to have to eat my words.

Lordchaser has been a hard slog to write lately, but I made progress.  It's about the third time I've hit a rut with this story, and each time I just apply the tried and true method of turning off my inner editor and writing something.  Thanks nano.

I also spent a good part of this morning reworking the first chapter of Vert Glace to be less of an info dump.  My housemates are awesome.  B-Dog is reading through the whole story and Will read the chapter I revised today.  Will is a bit of a fantasy literary nut, so in terms of editing, he's a goldhole.

I'm thinking of creating a character called Floyd.

And this is not related to writing, unless I force the connection of female protagonist... the first episode of the second season of Legend of Korra has just been released.  It is not disappointing.
