Revising is going on, and I'm catching a lot of niggling things (inconsistencies, misplaced sentences, etc). So I feel good about that.
However - I'm going to have to add some sections (beyond the sex scenes, which are still primarily in the draft). We seem to get from points A to Z with some quantum leaps in the character progression, which isn't *quite* the way to get there. I think I know what needs to be done to fill in those holes, though the beta and I need to talk soon.
Oh, and I also have to rally the other betae; I'm a little slow about that this year. :(
I'm also at the "distracted by shiny things" stage, in which I want to write all sorts of things, but I'm having a little trouble concentrating on the BB. That's probably a good sign overall, because it means the words are coming out (and it happened last year); I just have to get back to the BB at hand. :D
I'm finding this a pretty challenging BB, though, more than last year. I'm not sure I can go into why w/o spoiling a bit (though I may have hinted at it a while ago behind the high walls of the f-lock :D).
BTW, I just saw some writing tips on my flist: http://lisabouchard.com/2011/10/22/the-seven-point-system/ Haven't read it yet, but it looks handy.
And imdb: I once saw an excellent plot bunny on the Pros board there. It's in my short list of things to come back to.
I'm pretty talkative this morning for being rather sleep-deprived, LOL.
