My Twitter stuff

• 22:37 Going over a story to be submitted soon. Annoyed to learn I haven't kicked as many bad #writing habits as I thought. #
• 23:33 @zenmigawa It's the one I'm planning to send to Heat. They've finally opened submissions and I'm giving it a final editing/proofing pass. #
• 23:35 @Immelmann42 Congrats on hitting 100! #
• 23:38 @zenmigawa Here's hoping, eh? #
• 00:36 @furryjackal About 85% of it comes down to passive voice issues and variations thereupon. #
• 00:37 @furryjackal 'Open Audition.' Heat opened for submissions this past weekend and I'd like to get it submitted by Gencon. #
• 00:38 @furryjackal I use it far too much. #
• 00:41 @furryjackal Long story short... Passive: "The sandwich was eaten by Bob." Active: "Bob ate the sandwich." #
• 00:43 @furryjackal I do more than simply that, but it's tough to explain in 140 characters or less. #
• 00:59 @furryjackal Also, I need to rework some of the perspective in one scene. #
• 02:00 @NotTube @kmhirosaki I now have this mental image of KM becoming the furry Hunter S. Thompson. #

So, Gencon (and also writing stuff)

So here's the situation with the convention. Tomorrow I'm headin' out to Indy, and will probably be there somewhere around 7pm. I'm going to be tweeting incessantly like a jackass over the course of the weekend, particularly during the L5R tourneys, so you're just going to have to deal with that. I'll be back Sunday night, probably hang out in Morgantown for a bit before heading home.


Also, I've got a story I've been working on on and off for a while. I took a bit of a break from it after getting it more or less done and am giving it a final editing/revision pass now that the publication for which its intended has opened their submissions box. I'd like to have it emailed to them before leaving for the convention; I've got plenty of time, but I'd rather not put it off and get distracted or give myself too much time to decide to just keep screwing with it and never 'finish' it. However, there's a scene that looks like it's going to need a little more work than I originally realized.

The story's in third-person perspective, focused specifically on one of the two main characters at any given time. But there's a scene where I pull back a bit and it drifts between the two of the circumstances of the scene. I've thouht about it, though, and realized it's just not going to work so I need to rework it a bit. What I can't decide is whether to just keep it focused on one character or see if I can find a spot where I can have it switch for the rest of the story to give the other guy a little bit of 'in his head' time. I'll almost certainly go with the former, but I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback either way. I'll be working on the story amongst doing other things tonight so quicker responses would be more helpful.
