Progress!

[partly]

Three things of note:

Heard back from Stargatenovels people. They received my proposal and will (eventually) try to read it. They said they'd get back to me in three months. Which is cool. I'm sure they have a ton of proposals. I'm pleased to see that they put the title I gave it in the subject line. AND I'm pleased that I haven't been thinking about it at all lately. Very cool.

I have finished two scenes in my new fic. Good for me. They read well and are off being betaed. I have a good start of several of the following scenes. I feel confident that I'm gonna finish this, which is good. Not sure I'll make the 18th deadline, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Myria has joined the forensic team at school. Which is wonderful. I was in part of the forensic team when I was in school. She's gonna be much better than I ever was. The only problem: the first meet is the 20. She has to have five practices before then. That is also the day of her band concert. Busy, busy, busy.

But life is good.

I got the same email, and had the same reaction about the title being in the subject line. They definitely seem to be on the ball, anyway.

I like that they really seem to be working at encouraging writers. Which is cool. And, actually, a good way for them to get material. There are a lot of good writers who just don't have an avenue to get published.

You!

You are a BAD PERSON!

You have not sent ME your proposal to read!

If you looooove me you wiiiilllll.....

*bats eyelashes*

(And now that I've assured that hell will freeze over before you'll send it...will you send it for feedback?)

Ah... well, see, this is the thing.

I'm scared to. Well, that may be a little strong... no, not too strong. I'm am actually terrified.

You see, I had to send it off without any actual betas reader. All my usual beta couldn't get to it and I really didn't finish it in time to recruit others... and I was (and am) fairly insecure about it.

I really don't want to find all the errors and problems with it right now.

And that summarizes my conflicting feelings on the matter.

Oh the other hand, I think it holds together pretty well.

I'll tell you what: I'm writing a SG fic right now. I'm more secure in it and I could always use your wonderfully critical eye as a final beta.

Would you be interested in reading that fic?

Okay. That sounds great!

And, once the three months is up...you'll have to let me read the proposal. Okay?
