I finally finished the first scene. I've been trying to write better quality than, well, first draft, since I know I can finish a first draft but I've never really gotten past the first draft before. It's fun and I'm learning a lot by writing differently. But it's slow, slow, slow. 

And now I'm developing an addiction to blogs like this. This woman stopped blogging THREE YEARS AGO, but her archives are so incredibly brilliant, useful, and funny that I can't stop reading. I've read about a year and a half worth of her blog archives over the past week. Her crap-o-meters are gold for writers. Thank goodness she's not still blogging, or I'd never be able to stop.
