Mainstream fiction and many \u00e2\u20ac\u0153classic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d novels get away quite handily with having no villain, or only one truly despicable character in a populated world where many other shades of morality exist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals for the past week:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strike>Two reviews &#8211; one on the OWW, one off.<\/strike><br \/>\n<em>Revise ATfD.<\/em> Almost done.<\/p>\n<p>Although there&#8217;s a large energy barrier to critting, I really enjoy it. I like taking things apart and seeing how they work, and I like the chance of discovering something really good.<\/p>\n<p>I should write more short stories. (I won&#8217;t, of course, because I don&#8217;t have short ideas.) It&#8217;s so nice to be able to go over a whole story in one sitting, and keep it all in my head at once.  I need more practice with endings, too, and they&#8217;re a lot faster to get to in a 2k word story than a 90k story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals for the coming week:<\/strong><br \/>\nRevise (and submit) ATfD.<br \/>\nWrite post about beginnings of novels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasks for later:<\/strong><br \/>\n(OWW) Catch up on reviews to be returned. (Only one or two left.)<br \/>\n(Trapped Magic) Finish unstickynoting ch 11-15, Finish ch 1-3, Type ch 4-10, Notebook notes for ch 11-15.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other stuff:<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m in the early stages of creating my own WordPress theme.
