In a surprising turn of events, the results of the latest poll actually reflect my own preferences. I was all set to work on Pinion a week ago, and then I ran afoul of some externally-produced suck monkeys. But now that I have the will of LJ behind me, I can fight off the evil simians get back to work. Maybe.

My second choice of project was to revise Dreams. It's only been two years (and one finished novel and three novel-chunks) since I stopped working on it, and I could probably let it sit longer, but even a white-paper revision is a quicker project a new book. And most importantly, I already have the plot--I just have to give it prose that doesn't suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. Then maybe it will be less of a stinking albatross corpse around my neck for a while.

So the tentative plan is work on Pinion, and as a reward for progress there, let myself work on Dreams too. Until the next plan comes along.

Take that, suck monkeys!

Mean things: driving while tired, angel harassment, poked with a fishhook
Tyop: acrobot It's a circus robot! Sadly, that's not the story I'm writing.
Darling: "I know who I am now," she said softly, "and that's not it. But thanks for playing." She wasn't Mark Moon anymore, the fucked up tranny kid, or Luna Day, the even more fucked up dancer-turned-acrobat. Now she was Reese Evers, burned clean like a phoenix and mostly sane. With endless new opportunities to fuck up sprawling in front of her.
Words Word don't know: Tejano, razorwire, twinged, tranny, roadkill

That's the end of the prologue, and the return of Reese (formerly Luna) and Hunter, last seen in "Catch". I've cast Bai Ling as Hunter--crazy and way too skinny, but easy on the eyes when I need motivational pictures. Also, this book had too many white people already.

Having fulfilled that obligation, I could work on Dreams a little. Or hit refresh on LJ for an hour and hope the internets are interesting.
