You’ll notice that both goal-bars are filled in today, a day before the Thanksgiving deadline. Extra slice of pumpkin pie for me! Still working on my pitch for the new story; here’s the current version:
1815—A resourceful composer falls for the newspaper publisher she tricks into printing her music, crossing the political aisle, the class line, and the new method of journalism: “nothing but the truth.”
It’s not quite there yet, but I’m letting it (and the MS) lie fallow for a month while I work up the next story. January is revision month (inc. another contest). This story started stronger and is progressing much faster than the last two; credit goes to the Holly Lisle classes (esp. the “face your fears” and “plot the middle” sections) as well as just plain more butt-in-the-chair-writing time. Maybe at the end of January I’ll post the opening scene (short, immediate, in medias res).
