So me and my internet twin, Sarbrook, have finally moved forward on our new Doctor Who project! It's officially posted!
I can already tell you're excited. We've finally pushed through the last of the edits, and phew, I had forgotten how tiring editing large chunks of text were. We went back and forth a couple of times, and I realized on my third time through, that I had really run out of steam at the end and missed things, so I tried extra hard to be diligent.
It's funny to see what you miss when you're only editing yourself, even if you're looking extra careful. I had left behind a random mime comment (that didn't make sense without the stuff I had cut) I had forgotten the Doctor wasn't wearing shoes. Fresh set of eyes are always good.
Also, I learned a new grammar rule! It was somewhat embarrassing that I didn't know it, similar to the time that I heard about the fifth ocean and was like...what? (shut up, they only officially declared the Southern Ocean real in the year 2000 and I was completely past the learning oceans and continents part of my life at that point)
So, to sum up. Co-writing has been incredibly beneficial to me.
And yet, I'm still tragically behind on my word count. I think I have to get out like 20,000 words in the next couple days to make my month. It's not impossible, it's just...ugh. It seems impossible right now. But if I manage that, than I've made it to the 600,000 mark. So maybe I should do it, just for small rewards sake.
Also, there's a 'nerd' bar crawl coming up. And I sort of just bought this.
Which sort of means I have to add a bow tie, a jacket of some sort, and possibly a fez. Right? RIGHT??? I have converse, but that's mixing the Doctors. is that okay?? What are the answers to these questions!!
Okay, so it's not halloween. But, it is a nerdy bar crawl. And nothing screams nerdy like Doctor Who.
I need to make this happen.
So much for making that word count.
Never mind, I found the Doctor's boots. $800 isn't too much for one night of drinking...right?
Yeah, I'll skip these. For now.
Although I'm finding things similar more reasonably priced....God damn the internet is a dangerous place.
