thanate#1: Holly said before I left that I was about to miss the fun part, where the whole house came together; as it turns out, very little happened last week. Electrical wiring went in, but the service change over that was supposed to happen last Monday hasn't, and the light at the top of the stairs no longer works, either. The basement stairs are in, but they're still not going to jack up the house to replace the center beam until next week, which on the whole I would have liked them to do while I was gone... and a long list of other things that haven't happened and should have by now. In any case, the reason all this is on my list is that I let this stress & nonsense put me off writing for the last two months, and that's stupid. So the most important goal is not let that tension creep back in.
#2: One of the things I came away from VP with was actually the sense that I submitted the wrong thing. So, I think the novel I should have submitted is actually pretty close to beta-ready, and I want to do my last poking at it, probably break it up into chapters, and then get some feedback. I think I can do my part of this in the next two weeks if I actually work on it. So, goal: finish tinkering & send to beta readers before I start NaNo.
#3: That's an interesting question, now isn't it? I've got a few possibilities for NaNo, and some things I should think about finishing, and I did want to do something about my website. I'll keep thinking about this one as I work on #2.
#4: Once I've got feedback from #2, there WILL BE revisions, followed by submissions. This will not happen in November, but I'm hoping for January.
