The UF!2Girls (that's it's working title/codename) is finished. It came out to 125,353 words in Open Office.

What's weird is that I didn't even start outlining this project until the first week in January, didn't start writing it until the 10th of January, and I'm finished already. So 120k divided by 44 days comes out to about 2848 words per day for this novel.

This novel is an odd bug in my collection of works, and I'm not even sure I like it or know what to do wit it. I wonder if it's worth even editing the damn thing. Because I'm not sure it's any good due to the fact that I went at warp factor nine on it, and because I can't decide if I lost control of the story or controlled it too much when writing.

I think I need a reader or two for this, but I have no idea who to ask. I might be able to scare up people who like urban fantasy (I think this counts as urban fantasy), and wouldn't mind reading something that has adult content and a giant smattering of teh_queer. Maybe.

I wonder when post-novel ennui [(c) Elizabeth Bear] will kick in and in what form.

You sure? I know that your plate is kinda full lately, but if you're up for another retina-burningly bad manuscript, courtesy of yours truly, then sure.

I'll give it the once over for spelling and coherency and then chuck it your way.

I forget, do you want it in text or MS Word or some other format?

Last one wasn't bad - just needed revisions. Send as a Word doc, ma'am! How are you?

I love that you used your Anna Nicole Smith icon for that :)
