Guys, is there an AW page for synopses? I can't find anything. Surely there is one, right?

I got distracted from editing by PONIES. But now I am back.

That was new. I blushed slightly, even as Jason – Private Mandalla now – kicked over to me. “Off the record, you’re one cool dudette. Now, why weren’t you born a man so I could date you?”

“Because,” I said, grinning. “God has a sense of taste.” [/FONT]

I got distracted from trying to write by a terrifying meme. But I think I'm done writing for the night, so it's okay.

Basically, Luna did all the heavy fuel mining. They tore up huge, rich, easily accessed deuterium, which was fed into the hungry fusion reactors that powered the Earth. They also sent down lots of stuff made from Lunar dust, cause that stuff – when melted and forged right – made some really interesting materials.

FALLACY! FALLACY!

Changed too...

Basically, Luna did all the heavy fuel mining, and it sucked for them. Lunar regolith isn’t the richest site for Deuterium, but it was the closest and best we had. That’s why Shi-Armstrong is so much bigger than people originally thought it would be, they needed more bodies to churn through the Lunar dust and grit to make fuel for new fusion reactors that popped up across the Earth as we slid out of the Slump. The Loonies claim that their early founding was no better than a slave camp for political dissidents. I half believe them, but it’s hard to care with Paris a smoking crater.

There we go!

How are CMRH revisions going?

Just okay. I think last time I said I was on Page 21 of 178. I'm on 25 of 180 now. It's going super slow. I want to finish within the next 42 days.

I don't remember if I already asked this, but anyone know if act 1&2 turning points and black moment stand alone? As in not part of any acts? I'm trying to figure out how long my acts are so I know how much I need to expand.

I don't have an iPhone. Sometimes I wish I did because I have trouble with my Windows Mobile phone. But hopefully when MS makes a huge update with over 500 new features, I'll love it. I got it because the phone was cheap. A penny but you have to get a data plan.

oh ok... well see my phone contract is up and i've wanted an iphone for years! now that it came to verizon I really want to get one but 1) i dont want to spend $300 and 2) i'm worred the less expensive 16GB one wont hold everything.

I have alot of songs and my collection is grows rapidly, I have 1061 songs now but who knows how much that will grow in the next two years of my contract... so i'm worried that the 16GB wont be able to hold all my songs, and still have room for tons of apps and pictures and stuff...

Does iPhone have one of those micro SD card slots? Mine doesn't, but the iPhone probably does. You can probably invest in one of those.

ETA: Never mind. iPhone doesn't have it.

I think you should get it if you really want it.

Also, Syd Field, author of Screenplay puts the turning points at the end of the acts, so I think I'll do that. Now I'm glad I had this screenwriting class and the book was required. It's actually quite helpful...

I'm halfway through the Half Blood Prince! Hopefully, I'll be able to read the rest of the series, and watch all the movies just in time to see the second half before it leaves theaters. Which is probably unlikely.

But, now I'm dealing with the same thing I did with the Hunger Games. I don't want to read the last book because I don't want the series to end. Ugh I hate when that happens. :(

I've been better. Getting my wisdom teeth evaluated today, probably making an appointment to get them out. The whole thing just freaks me the hell out.

Um, don't tell me any wisdom teeth horror stories, guys. 'Tis appreciated.

How are you?
