tis Done

The edits are done. (To anyone who wonders why it takes me so long - that was nearly 3000 corrections, and as you insert the page positions change. I wish I was less gifted at grammatical errors and little things like leaving out words)

We had do a mercy killing of one of Rosemary's crippled chooks today. Other than some drawing and plucking... editing. But it's done now. Tomorrow I going fishing and then have our new writer's circle first get together.

  1. New writing circle? Nice. Did you organize it, or was your presence a seed that caused an existing solution to crystallize?

  2. Hi Dave

    Rock 'n Roll, a writer's circle nogal. You are an inspiration.

  3. I can't quite decide whether the ritual sacrifice of a chook was for the editing or the new writers' circle, but it does seem appropriate for both, somehow :-) Just don't get the black candles out yet.

  5. Abigail - it was suggested (at Scottish dancing) and I said 'sure'. I hope it'll be fun and as much help and inspiration the Nottingham Road one was to me.

  7. Mike, for new writers' circles we normally bury an editor at each corner ;-). So it had to be a celebration of a book about Hekate.

  9. if you work the edits from the back to the front then you can avoid the pages changing thing

  10. Francis - that would make sense and work if I waited for B to finish before I started.

  11. And you probably sat on the pro log when presenting your rules for riting, didn't y'a?
