progress report: revision letter

I have a revision letter! I have a lot of writing for this one section (of which I only did one draft, so I am not surprised)! I haven't written any of it yet!

Friday night, I read over the letter to make sure the eunuchs were safe [they were], and then saw Iron Man and drooled over Robert Downey, even when his character was obnoxious, because I have a Thing for him which apparently nothing can dampen.

Saturday, I read over the letter again and deliberately did things like wrap some books to mail and put away laundry. Then I made many notes. Then I went to [info]lawbabeak's bday party all afternoon and into the evening. Sunday, I made more notes, then had lunch with [info]feklar and some shopping, then went home and made more notes.

I guess I have to start writing soon.

Editing/revising is much easier than zero drafting. It's so much easier to make something better than to have it spring, fully-formed, from your head.

Easier for you, maybe.

I'm glad your eunuchs came through without further scathing.

[info]natlyn: Robert Downey Jr!

I enjoyed both Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr. In fact, [info]taffimai gave me brain lock when she tried to get me to judge who was prettier RDjr or Terence Howard. She further compounded the "problem" by asking which one I'd kick out of bed.

I'd give Downey the edge because Terence Howard is a tenor, and I like deeper voices. But...I wouldn't kick him out of bed. Nor the cute bad guy, as a matter of fact...I wanted him to show up again at the end. Actually, the Doomed Sidekick was pretty cute, too...it was the specs.

[fans self]

I haven't been to the movies in a while. Does it show?

Amen.

Glad you got your letter!
