cl0ckw0rkf0xI'm getting addicted to livejournal. I'm checking it like all the time.
Anyway, I got chapter eleven typed out, and by the next day there were two posts from friends that mention it. Now, I tend to have trouble telling how other people feel, being autistic, but things in writing get the point across to me better, and I'm forever watching for signs, so I figure if it was good enough to be mentioned that quickly, it must have been good.
So different from the lukewarm responses I'd get about my old story, that I worked on so long and scrapped about 7 months ago to start Timekeeper. Responses to that were like "yeah, that was pretty good, I enjoyed it." Compared to "You have to write more of that story, I read it all in one sitting!" And I was getting that when it was over 30 000 words long.
Chapter 12 should be along pretty soon, I might start working on typing it out at work tonight. It's the start of the chapters I wrote for Nano, so it will probably sound rushed, and I'll probably do a lot of editing, and adding stuff I forgot in. But it's a slow point in the story, and it's possibly just as well that Nano forced me to plow through those three chapters or I might have been working on them for months.
