what's next

[owlmoose]

OMC Four is largely finished; it just needs some polishing. I expect to post it tonight. (Edit: Done.)

Then it will be time for a Potter break. I'm not obsessed with the books, though I do really enjoy them, but I waited a mere two weeks to read the last one and still ended up far more spoiled than I like. So I want to get this one read as quickly as possible. I got my copy this afternoon, read the first chapter, and practically had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I suspect this book is going to be rather different from its predecessors.

Once that's done, unless everyone else become very prolific in the meantime and I feel the need to catch up, I'll get cracking on AGL 29. When that's finished, I expect to put Auron's tale on temporary hiatus and devote my writing time to Paine. 29 should be a natural pause point for AGL, and I want to take as much advantage as possible of the lightning in a bottle that we seem to have captured with the Confessional quartet.

I assume you're talking about the comparison between Nooj's scarred body and the ruined painting? I have to confess that I thought of that imagery partly because I know that you are a painter. Originally I had intended to make the analogy to a smashed sculpture, but I had a hard time getting it to work, so I went with the painting instead. I look forward to your more formal critique!

I'm maybe a third of the way through HP, and enjoying it, but also having trouble concentrating on it, for much the same reason as you are. :) It doesn't help that RyRy and Lee keep posting new chapters that draw my attention...

We are becoming a bunch of addicts. Yes, I did interpret your use of the painting analogy to my first creative love. It was gracefully done. In my dreams last night, I was Paine, tracing those smooth scars that make map lines across his body. It makes their coming together a journey of mutual discovery.

What we four are doing makes HP dull and lifeless. I have grown impatient being a passive recipient of imvention.
