Arts:Books
How novel revision and software development are basically the same thing. This week I enter the last(ish) stage of my revision, discuss the many uses of index cards, character verbs, and try not to let thoughts of piracy derail me.
This week's best thing: I finished the final proofing of WHISPERS OF SHADOW & FLAME! Hoorah!
