--Talk about a review that made your day.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM OF COURSE. But there is a specific kind of comment that's particularly valuable to me right now--I'm writing a comic book/pro wrestling fusion at the moment, and while anyone who's able/willing to enjoy that is a treasure beyond belief, the comments by people who know both comic books and wrestling and are able to say "Oh, Max Lord as Paul Heyman, that's good!" are especially beloved.

I'm at that annoying spot where I'm really close to the end of three different things, and I can't quite seem to GET there on any of them, grrr. Have you had closure this week? Have you had any good comments and feedback?

All of them. I leave the 'replied to your entry' emails in my inbox on my phone until they get pushed out by new things and look at them when I'm having bad days. It's been an absolutely essential part of both my writing process and my mental health. Though my favorites are when things I really hoped would get noticed get noticed, or when symbolism I didn't intend but is really neat or good character stuff gets pointed out to me and I can use it as fuel for more writing. After all, one of the strongest characters in the whole work got more fleshed out because a certain someone said that they really liked the name Sander Wormwood :3

Because of the concussion I haven't been writing, and I've also been figuring out whether or not we're going to be moving soon which is exciting and scary all at once even though it's just to the next town over. I'm going to try again tonight.

I still can hardly believe that! She's become such an individual and force in her own right...

Ooooh, where are you thinking of moving to and why? Also, how is your knee? And how was your Monday off?
