Moving right along, here

Xia's going well enough. The last 2-3 days I've been doing my first Big Adjustment to the story. Things were getting pretty messy but I think I've got myself straightened out. Although it's not much fun when I realize I need to re-align -- because it's a lot of work that doesn't necessary increase the page count -- It's also important to go through it. For me anyway. Otherwise, the story continues to suck. All of which means things are on track.

In other news, if politics and privacy are not your thing don't bother following this link regarding the events that led to this quote from Joel Johnson:

And as the reaction of the crowd to my questions showed, no one wants AT&T rifling around in their communications. The only way to stop them from doing so is to speak up whenever we have the chance

You might consider encrypting all your internet traffic pretty soon. Video and written commentary. Check out both. If AT&T does this, how soon before some writer sending her full to an agent, editor or critique partner gets caught up in this boondoggle? This is just insane. And outrageous.
