Well, finally talked to Christina, so the grammar stuffness is cleared up for the first draft of Alch. 1.
Which means it's on to the second draft! Woot! So that's what Saturday is dedicated to--plugging in my ideas, examining characters, and some major, major editing. New connections made, entirely new subplots (that will only be mentioned in Alch. 1 and won't come to light until 2), and some more exposition. I'm a little concerned, considering that when you edit you're supposed to be taking stuff away and not adding, but oh well, I suppose every writer goes through and "add" stage and then a "take out" stage.
Sweets. All's good in that area. I have to do some research on governments and check out some inventions. I found out last night that harmonicas weren't invented until the 1800's--which is a big problem, but I think I've got it figured out. There's some other things to look into too, however, and a few anachronisms I want to clear up. I did find a good tutorial on Elfwood that Christina told me to check out, pertaining to government, and I took notes. I'm studious like that :-)
So probably not much going on today other than a lot of editing. I still haven't decided if I want to submit Alch. to a publisher before college or wait yet. In fact, I still haven't decided what colleges to apply to. I really should get cracking on that. I particularly need to look into night classes at Las Po so I can get my science creds.
Uncle James died yesterday morning apparently. I should do a spell or say a prayer of some kind, something to heal hearts and help him move on. *sigh*. I wish I'd known him better.
...
Well, something to look forward to, the anime block is on tonight. Second to last episode of Wolf's Rain. Unfortunatley I already know what'll happen. Ah, well. The Cowboy Bebop should be a good one too.
Saw A Mighty Wind a few minutes ago. Very, very funny. I love mockumentaries. So frickin' funny! Christopher Guest is a genius.
