bethinexileI noticed that my last several posts have been dreary unhappy crap, so it's obviously time I posted about something else.
I finished reposting Reverb to AO3, and I'm now starting on the review of Phoenix Rising. This means going back to a much earlier point in my development as a writer -- Phoenix Rising was my second MacGyver piece, the first one to cross the 50k wordcount threshhold and get me my Novel badge.
And, of course, I was still learning a lot. And I haven't revisited it lately.
So far, I'm not wincing horribly, but I'm doing a lot of cleanup, especially of long tangled sentences. I have this image of all those jettisoned semicolons piling up in a heap beside my desk. If anyone's short a few, do let me know! I've got plenty and to spare!
In other news, many of the uglier glitches in the LiveJournal RTE are no longer glitching as horribly. Since I post something ZOMG Every Single Day -- and every post involves images, links, and text -- I've been able to notice changes in the glitch level almost every day, which has helped keep me from terminal rage. The Bad News: LJ released crapware. The Good News: they really were working on it, constantly, every day after the stupidly premature release, gradually making progress on the bugs. It's still not bug-free and probably never will be, but it no longer creates daily Code Rage for me.
