::squee:: Conversation with Oshun!

I just got off the phone with [livejournal.com profile] heartofoshun!! There's almost nothing more wonderful than getting to talk writing and fic with someone you so admire and are grateful to. She willingly stepped in to beta M+M as [livejournal.com profile] elfscribe5 went off to the mesas for the summer, and during our phone conversation she brought up some general ideas that won't take whole new sections to convey but will make it even more taut, add more tension and make it even more compelling.

Thank you for the call!!! :D You've really made my day and week, especially with the negative ambiance swirling around where I live. I'll look forward to incorporating those new elements in the coming weeks.



edit: I neglected to mention that I also got to talk with [livejournal.com profile] koshweasley this morning. What a fabulous day! The only negative has been another round of raised voices this morning, but I think I posted about that. I only wish I didn't have to work. Oh well. I'm too excited about potential writing to actually concentrate and do it, I'm afraid. Later. And Monday I have off because I'm getting to have dinner with [livejournal.com profile] cim_halfling, OMG. So I can have a lesiurely day of writing then! :)

You've helped me so much! I made some minor modifications to the Ashmael/Ithiel dynamic today, as well as changing the timing of Vaysh's hair color. You are so insightful! I even removed 5 or 6 semicolons just with the few pages I'd printed out to work on. ;)

Congrats! Finally have a new monitor! My monitor went up in smoke and I did not have a computer for three days. Hope I can finish up tomorrow.
