Han, Jokers, and my o'erweening hubris

So me and my siblings recreated a matinee of Star Wars today. I think it was only my third time seeing it, and the first in a long time, maybe 6 years, because while I remember the story just fine, and even dialogue, I didn't really remember the details at all. Lots of the memory is what I've heard and recalled imperfectly, I'm sure.

Anyway. It was cool to see it with new genre-savvy eyes.
And Han Solo?
Well, I'd remembered he was cool, but...
don't mind my speechlessness over here.

I got a rejection for a poem and sent it right out again. I'm holding up that side of this VP bargain! What next? I don't know. I should be revising...


Oh, and I finished the Wild Cards book PNH sent me. That's apparently due out this year. It was very fun, and had that head-long zigzag feel of a collaborative novel where different people are taking on the plot.
Boy do I have so much work to do...

tyhpo of the day;; "Odd as it is, I like quests."    Now there's a mistake to redirect. What a great line! The correct version (I like guests) is necessary to the plot, but not half as flavorful.

I wrote nothing of Aolon, for the second day in a row. Tomorrow will be a third. It's in the saggy middle, between the last two crisis points. It's emotional development/incidentals tied up time. Grraow. Boring. I only write little bits because I'm packing it in to save any future readers.

However, my latest B&tB attempt seems rather gorgeous to me. It's up by half again, and half done. Seditious Intent also gained a major plot-turn, in good wordage. Next week we will work hard, I guess. I've plenty reading to get done, also.

Also, my contest is running quite amusingly well.
