Ramblings
I am going into late to work today just so I can post NoG 48. As I try to be 10 chapters ahead of where I am posting so that I don't miss important plot points and because most of my writing comes in my rewriting, I'm currently working on 58, nearly 59. As of right now, I am still on schedule to complete on 61. It's a bit overwhelming to be near the end. I mean, I know it's not over, because there's still Invictus and the epilogue, but it's the end of Nights of Gethsemane. Which is a huuuuge, long work.
I was feeling a bit down, so I began to reread Frankenstein. In the version I have, they have reviews and essays and such at the end, and I read those to and I was delighted to find a review of Frankenstein that came out shortly after it was published where they talked about how much they hated the book. Frankenstein is my favourite book ever and to see it called rubbish made me feel better about my own bad reviews. Not that I think I am writing anywhere near Frankenstein's level or that I don't need improvement, but I don't have to worry about pleasing everyone. There will always be a few who hate your work.
I found a copy of Wuthering Heights and I've finally begun to read it. It's an interesting book! I think Snape would like it.
One of my brothers is interested in writing, perhaps HP fanfiction and I let it out that I write some and he wanted to read it. As most of mine is just sex, sex, sex, I sent him a Harry/Draco piece I am working on that actually doesn't contain graphic descriptions of sex (shocking I know). He said that it was good, but that Draco was way too feminine. He said, "I can tell girls read this." Haha. I should have him help me with Harry in NoG as he is a 19 year old boy and very blunt in a way that only 19 year old boys can be.
