Yesterday, I had a scheduled chat with one of my Wise Readers. It had been a few days since I had sent her my work, so the manuscript was some 25-30 pages longer by then than what I had sent earlier in the week. We talked for a bit about where things were shaky in the plot, or needed clarification -- I was very pleased that most of her notes were about things I had also made revision notes about, so that was good.

Then I sent her the last pages I had written, with the hint that a little-seen character showed up again in it. I swapped out the laundry while she read, and came back to see this:

[11:11] WR: holy fuck!
[11:11] Me: Is that a good Holy fuck?
[11:14] WR: holy fuck!!
[11:14] WR: wow
[11:14] WR: damn
[11:14] Me: LOL
[11:14] WR: I did NOT see that coming
[11:15] WR: even though you told me RYM was in this section
[11:15] Me: YAYS!
[11:15] WR: wow
[11:16] WR: hell yes
[11:16] WR: go with this, girl, just run with it

This made me very happy, because she's one of a very few people I genuinely trust to call me on it when I go off the rails.

So, the draft is very nearly done, and I have rediscovered the Roller Derby!

Of course, after that I got complete jack done because of all teh other stuff piling up that I needed to do. But today is another day.
