Getting close to lift-off

[jack_babalon]

Well she's an ugly brute of a skeleton, but I finally finished the first draft on the plot summary. It comes a close second in excruciating-fist-pounding-the-skull frustration, with only the Q Letter as being more horrific a proposal to write up (who knew the novel would be the easy part?) Still I've now got a rough outline to work with from here and it can only get better with each clean up. Going over it tomorrow with one of the best copy-writers I know to give it a hopefully terse and charming polish before sending her off.

I know I shouldn't be... but I'm really psyched up for this.

Heading out to Vee's place for dinner and sanctuary, so I'll be sans internet until tomorrow.

Be well everyone,
-JB

You should be psyched. It's a terrific step.

Writing that out always helps to shape the whole novelscape. And it's true what they say -- poetry is much harder than prose (at least for me).

I've never been much for poetry, I always try to rhyme for some reason, though most of my favorite poets don't. Go figure. We'll have to see what happens next I suppose.

white-lighting your shit, as my friend likes to say...
good luck!

Thank you... but I gotta be honest with you, I have no idea what 'white lighting your shit' means... though I must say it does sound cool.

I don't know if I deserve them or not, but thank you Shannon I appreciate you thinking so.
