Sammikins needs to get home so I can show her how hard I've worked today.

In other news, have been editing. Feel much like I am drowning. Had thought briefly that if I could edit fairytales and dwtd, that'd be a good start to lulu. Then I remember that I have three fairytales unfinished, and three dwtd stories unfinished, and I still don't know if I should put the dragons with the rest of dwtd or do them seperate, so really I'm right back at square one.

Mergh, I say. Mergh!

Weekends are never long enough.

Back to editing I go.

Make the dragons book 2! Nothing says you have to have only one book of fairy tales either! And the formatting is different for ebook than paperback - as I just found out! *rolls eyes* You should be glad you didn't have anything ready to go today. They were updating Lulu - caught me in the middle of a PDF conversion...

Ah! That's what I was going to ask you a ways back and totally forgot about. ^_^;; How are you breaking up the fairytales (cause throwing them all together would make one really, really long book O_o;;)

I mean, you have some that are set in the same verse, right? There are how many that are in the Laughing Forest verse? (The Rose and the Fox, The Tale of the Laughing Forest, Prince Ike and the Witch) Then you have the Brightleaf verse? (Brightleaf, Damsel in Distress, and for some reason I keep wanting to throw The Troll in there too. O_o;;) Or do they crossover into each other? I can't remember. Then you have standalones like Main Gauche and Rumors...

Or, you could do it in themes...The Cinderella rewrites, The Frog Prince Rewrites, The Quest Fairytales...

And, I'm probably not helping, huh. ^_^;;

Personally, I'd seperate the dragons. They're in the same verse as DwtD, but there's enough of them and they're unique enough to stand on their own outside of DwtD, you know? ^_^

La! I can't wait to see you on lulu. *bounces*

I haven't really decided ^^;; Cause yeah, you're right, that would get long.

Heh. Troll is the same verse as Brightleaf ^__^ It's very subtle, though, that they're related. I'm not sure it's ever explicit.

You are helping loads.

That is pretty much unanimous for seperating. w00t ^__^

Editing does that to you. especially if you're editing old stuff that has so many faults it makes you cringe... but let's not go there right now. *spanks Ignis into submission*

And if you ask me, the dragons should go separately. *nod nod*

if they're in the same 'verse, put them togeather. cause there are some dragon dwtd cross overs aren't there? where chris interacts with them? you could make 1 book with just that verse?

*hugs* Take things one step at a time, sweetheart. Just because there are other things to do still doesn't mean you haven't accomplished a lot! *loves*
