Oct. 1st, 2011 07:39 pm@cleolinda: Extremely Crappy Draft: 173,749 words. Enter stage two: Readable Draft.
@cleolinda: Precisely! RT @particle_person: Yes! That is enough words to still have lots of book left when you toss the half that don’t work right!
@cleolinda: I guess it’s not really time for a victory lap yet. Maybe a victory… skip.
@alliancesjr: Admit it, you’re going to do a victory macarena like it’s 1992, aren’t you?
@cleolinda: More like a victory flop. I just keep sitting here going, I can’t do this. What am I doing? I can’t do this.
@cleolinda: But it’s like… doesn’t really matter if I can’t. Don’t really have a choice, do I? Have to keep going with whatever I’ve got.
@alliancesjr: Like a shark. But…on land.
@cleolinda: LAND SHARK!

While we're here, hours after I started writing this post--the #occupywallstreet thing has blown up into a multi-city protest, but police have arrested "about 400" protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge so far. There's a livefeed, and, apparently, some kettling happened. Mark Ruffalo, of all people, seems to be tweeting from the front lines ("People in 5 different jails. They are releasing people now. 3 in NYC and 2 in Brooklyn"). BPAL, meanwhile, has put up a charity scent to help send pizza to the protesters (the pizza is already going out): "Rock the protester cliché! This is a filthy friggin’ patchouli, dark, deep, rooty, and strangely sexy, with cocoa absolute, tobacco absolute, and bourbon vanilla." More as I hear about it, assuming anyone in the media bothers to cover it in the first place (*side eye*).
ETA: Here's an article that does a fairly good job of explaining what's going on and how it came together.
