rolanniThe ants are still winning. This whole Superior Brain thing isn't what it's cracked up to be, at all...
Did some quick SRM bookkeeping, threw in a load of laundry and am about to retreat the couch and the continuing cold read of Crystal Dragon. It's going well so far, and the story is much better than I remembered from the writing side, but it was ever thus.
I've caught a few continuity glitches -- a character described as shabby inexplicably acquires a hand-full of rings, which vanish again in the next scene; another character described as ill and barely standing is miraculously cured without even a cup of tea to help them along -- minor stuff, really. There are, as always, some Embarrassing Sentences, but that's just Technical Tweaking. The major problem so far is a matter of deliberately non-linear storytelling in the prologue, which has confused two of two readers, and thus needs to be addressed -- somehow. Making Everything Linear is not, alas, an option.
Cloudy today and threatening rain; the temperature a blessedly cool 70 degrees(F). Here's hoping that yesterday's 95 was All Summer in a Day...
