In case anyone was actually looking

With my luck, this would be the one time people were actually reading and giving a crap about this journal.
Please ignore any unlocked snippets that you may or may not have seen. You didn't see aaaaaaaaaanything. [/penguin]*.
Seriously, though, I didn't mean to leave that unlocked. I've been having to dump my progress for this novel into livejournal entries (which are damn useful for this purpose, btw) because I'm in Connecticut and the rest of my novel is in New York City.
I've been locking them, because they are filled with deeply shaming mistakes. The thing is, I'm hoping that if I can't become a good writer, I'll at least get to be a very good editor. But if people see your first drafts, then it shatters the illusion that you actually knew what the hell you were doing.
So pretend like you didn't see that.
*Props to anyone who gets the reference.
