Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Done! (again)
With a near record-breaking 4625 4993* word day, I’ve finished my romance. Final word count, 106.5K.
The working title has been Sloppy Firsts, but that’s been taken — recently, too. It looks like it was a popular book.
As a backup, I like Technical Virgins. That title was last used in 1998, and as best I can tell, the book wasn’t nearly as popular as Sloppy Firsts.
Eh. I suck at titles.
Note to my betas: I’ll be rereading the last 10K pages or so this next weekend, and once I’m happy with the new ending, I’ll send out the new version. No one is under any obligation to read this, of course, but I know a few of you have expressed an interest.
If you think you’re a beta and you don’t have something in your hot little hands by next Sunday, let me know.
*wipes sweat from brow*
I’m done!
D.
*Couldn’t resist the urge to fiddle. (Really, though, I remembered one more loose end which needed tending.)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
And I like Technical Virgins as a title.
I salute your determination, sir, and congratulate you on your completion! I’ll hold off on final accolades pending reviews of the work in question, which I’ll leave to Ms Canada, who does like romances, though Regency is more her style. Which reminds me… I must go out and get a ruffled shirt and breeches.
Postscript: Noticed you were live blogging earlier, but decided not to join in, as a) Sickam said the feed contained offensive material, and b) judging by the music in the background and the screen reflections in your glasses, maybe what you were watching did too!!!
I’d write a comment to include both Aldous Huxley references and sly sexual innuendo, but I lack the wit.
Thanks, sxK. TV it is, at least for until someone says otherwise.
microsoar, if I remember correctly, Vangelis was in the background; Karen was watching Blade Runner. As for what I was looking at on Le Monitor, I don’t know — but Jake’s up here, so it could not have been too salacious.
Technical Virgins is a far better title. Congratulations! Am I still in your beta list??
You betcha.
