Novels are never about what they are about.

"But novels are never about what they are about; that is, there is always deeper, or more general, significance. The author may not be aware of this till she is pretty far along with it. A novel’s whole pattern is rarely apparent at the outset of writing, or even at the end; that is when the writer finds out what a novel is about, and the job becomes one of understanding and deepening or sharpening what is already written. That is finding the theme." - DIANE JOHNSON

Coasting into the Atlantis Big Bang deadline.

Was all set for the final buffing of my SGA/Dragonrider fusion Sunday night. Betas were ready. So much to do, but YES WE CAN!

The atlantisbigbang deadline was moved to September 21.

Days ago.

Now I'm buffing my nails. Writing a few changes. Clicking on a movie.

A movie.

I'd forgotten what it was like to do anything but writewritewritewrite.
