miko2: Ranma disguised as a schoolgirl to fool Ryoga (Default)

Posting from my hotel room high on the 12th floor of the tower her at Norwescon 30. So far I've gone to a couple of panels on which [livejournal.com profile] eddvick was a panelist and I've wandered through the dealer's room several times. Bought a few things. Waved at my friends running registration. Etc.

Mostly I've been working hard on my story "Had A Dad" which I feel needs a new and better title, possible "Girl On A Wing". This story has been lying around for years and I've finally stripped it down and started rewriting it from scratch. I had hundreds of bits of dialogue scattered here and there that I needed to stitch into scenes, and a long bit of exposition which set the first scene but in a heavy-handed, voice-of-God-imparting-information sort of way. I reworked the opening, completed the scene, read it to [livejournal.com profile] dolphinchatter, and only then realized that I was no longer an opening scene. At least, it didn't set the story or take it anywhere.

Late Thursday night I figured out how to fix all of that and I was up typing as [livejournal.com profile] dolphinchatter was trying to get some sleep. Today I managed to stitch the new, improved opening scene together and while it needs some tightening, I do believe it finally works. It's a real opening scene, yay! Now I'm trying to pound the second scene into shape, and the third. I want to have at least four scenes ready to read for our meeting tomorrow, rather than read something old and already published.

I think I helped [livejournal.com profile] dolphinchatter with one of his stories today too. Well, mostly helped him work some stuff out by acting as a sounding board, same as he's done for me.

Anyway we're about to gather for dinner so I'd better end this... much more to say, no time to write it.
