Agnes — yeah, maybe some day. I’m kind of over the whole “angels and demons” thing (for now), though there’s an angle somewhere in there that I’m hot for.

But really, Kevin Smith dicked me over on that one with Dogma. Fat little bearded bastard!

Well done, Weaver.
Now how about Agnes?

–hza

PS: Wood, how about “ramjob,” “tinman” or (my personal favorite) “Mr. Chips”?

I am still rewriting Memory Sticks, you know. I’m uploading it for a print version to sell in Swansea, like, next week, and it’s… still not done.

If you have any better idea for a discriminatory and prejudicial term for a cyborg than “kithead” do let me know. I am killing myself.

Out of all seriousness, Will, it’s a really good question — how does one know when any writing project is truly finished?

I mean, on one hand, there exists a gut level reaction to something. You can say, “Okay, certain parts of this are locked down; I don’t intend to do much more with them.”

But always, pieces float. Some of it is a writing thing, a grammar and spelling thing, a tweaking thing, but it also might be a plot thing, or a story thing, or a character thing — you can just keep trimming and adding, cutting and grafting.

So, you have to know when you need to do more, and you have to know when to stop.

I’ve written novels, but have done nothing with them, so I’m no expert, here. Revising novels for me has always been painful. I’m learning to love it, though. I look forward to cracking open the bones on this one and seeing how the marrow tastes.

But seriously, your question is a very real one, and one I don’t know how to answer, yet.

I’ve never finished a novel. I don’t even know how one knows when one has. I was curious.

Also, felicitări, felicitaties, поздравления, συγχαρητήρια, 祝贺, Glückwünsche, gratulationer, congratulations, Chuck.

I’m signing up to beta read. I will take no as an answer, but I’ll whine about it.

You shouldn’t celebrate small. Seriously, party like you’re in a Prince video. It’s important.
