So far this week I've had the power go out of the house twice, for 8+ hours each, during the hottest fishing week of the season. I mean it's 100F (38C) every day this week, and through to the next weekend. This is by far the least October-y October that has ever Octobered. So no light, no AC, no way to get any extra work on the book done, so I'm a bit behind and I hate that. I have many chapters as a cushion but the fewer I have the more anxious I feel, and there's a bunch to go through and edit/fix on many of these.
Then I went to do this week's upload and went outside to grab food that got delivered and stepped on a bee. Yow. Do not recommend. I'm not allergic or anything but that's about the only good news about it.
So I didn't have a lot to prep for this blog post and my foot hurts and I'm cranky and I don't know what I want to do. I have some pics to share, but that's about it. Most of the chapter I uploaded is world building stuff about the Little Big War (aka World War Three) and San Marin, and some more back story on Diana Bergman. Wow, it's almost like she's important to the story or something huh. Funny how that happens.
I forgot that I named the weird apartment house (called a "dingbat" style house, very prevalent in Southern California) Casa de Perdedor. I love that song. And that's pretty much what Diana's life was all about at that point.
There is one thing though that I just remembered, I'm really really seriously considering uploading my stupid "Less Than Heroic" fanfic because this kind of multiverse foolery is really popular right now. The problem is, one of the main characters (and the POV character as a matter of fact) is from a Popular Series By A Problematic Asshole. Normally I would just CTRL-F/REPLACE the character with a similar one in some other venue but there really isn't a good one. This one was baked in so thoroughly that there's no way to separate him without wrecking it irrevocably. So. Do I go ahead and upload anyway with a caveat "yeah, I know, this character's creator sucks, sorry" or do I just not upload it? Because one of the other two characters is hella awesome (from a totally different series) and the third character is stupid awesome because he's MINE and of course it's Justin you knew it would be.
Don't know if anyone reads these things but if you have a suggestion either way, please let me know. I'd hate to throw the whole thing out when I think that the story itself is kinda fun. Otherwise it would never see the light of day.
And now, picture time!
