And that's a wrap!

So: in spite of stopping Fringing yesterday, I still managed to aqueeze in 14 shows, ending with Rainer Hersch (Mozart:Ze Komplete Hystery), who just about killed us with too much laughing; (Colin was one of his two victims in the audience). I saw a review that griped that he did less actual music in the show, but it seemed to me like about as much as he ever does.

Going to see coffeeem and willshetterly reading tonight.

Tomorrow, we travel. Wish me luck on archery! Also, I hope my stepmother doesn't drag me out to do much clothes shopping (Though I could use sandals, actually. And dress pants.)

I am miles behind on reading LJ (I've skimmed a lot), and it will only get worse.

And all three critiques are in for Raising the Storm - well, the last I will almost certainly do a lengthy e-mail rundown to get more details, but the initial gist is in! The other good news is that all three seem to agree the base story is good, and ditto the characters. The first two pointed to one problem, the first gave me an idea where and with whom I needed to add a scene, the second (without meaning to or directly suggesting anything) filled in what has to happen in the scene. The third; will depend on what I have to say when I again have access to a computer; which, soon as I post this, probably won't be until Monday.

Storms are happening outside, oh joy! We so need the rain and the cool-down and a breeze sure doesn't hurt (Though yes, this is well beyond breeze an into gusting). Plus, thunder, yum.

So see you all again in a bit, and as a farewell I'll quote, "I love you all but I don't know why."

I will, however, let Finno continue to eat my brain for a while. I've been handwriting through the Fringe, so I don't think it will be a problem, unless I forget to pack the second notebook.

Have a lovely time!

And it's great that the crits seem to be more or less in tune!

So far, the trip is lovely in spite of the heat...

When the crits disagree on minor nitpicks, on which character is their favourite or least favourite, or even on whether a scene works or doesn't, I'm fine, in fact I prefer it, because then I have to think, and when I reread I have to consider all the points of view. It makes it easier to fix things on those smaller scales.

I only find myself worried when they disagree on the big picture, because that usually means soemthing flawed beyond repair. So far, I'm getting lots of small and medium-sized disagreement and lots of large-scale agreement; it's actually the places where they disagree that have been suggesting the best solution, too.
