A big hello and welcome to our latest check in post.

Thought I would start this post with links to a couple of sites that have some great stuff on them:

Internet Movie Car Database – Professionals section

Internet Movie Firearms Database – Professionals section

Next, as it is a Monday and we all need pretty things on a Monday, a few pics for you:



And lastly, as always, let us know how you are getting on in the comments, whether you are thinking, planning, plotting, writing, beta-ing, editing, cheerleading, or, like me, just waiting eagerly.

EDIT: In the comments golden_bastet linked to the seven point system which looks really interesting.

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.

Sounds like you are doing brilliantly.

However - I'm going to have to add some sections
That sounds like the way to go about it and it really does sound like you know everything that is needed and I can't wait.

Thanks for the link luv, I shall add it into the main post so everyone can take a look.

It's so easy to be distracted by the shiny. Quantum leaps are sometimes very good things, too. ;-D Keep writing!

My eyes are glued to the big red 'INSERT SEX SCENE' bit :)

I found this big bang rather challenging to get into as well. I'm sure you'll be better once you've had a chat with your beta(s). That always helps to motivate.

I'm sure you'll get it done well in time!
