Gave the bits of Streetlight People to the girls at work today (cause I wanted to show off the pretties but also because I keep asking them questions and we're running into a "need to know" sort of situation). I'm always hesitant about sharing things this early on with people because I so often leave them lying by the wayside and that is frustrating to people who aren't more in the know of my every thought (i.e. my flisters).
B was the only one to read it (I don't think R will read it because it irritates her when I give her something she doesn't consider "done" - which, is to say, something novel length and edited) and she gave it three very enthusiastic thumbs up. Okay, there were no thumbs involved. Her exact words were, "This is really good. You need to finish it. Not like the other things I keep telling you that you need to finish. THIS is what you need to finish. For reals." OR something like that.
I enjoy having B to bounce things off of because she responds with a lot of well thought out ideas. Like today. I think I came to some really good conclusions because of our talk.
( The truths of the Streetlight People verse as I see them to this point... )
I really wish there was a 10 but I'm at a loss. My head is empty once again. Now it's off to write once again. I have story prompts that need to be filled!
