mary-nan

[lobelia321]

I just realised, driving to t'reference library in the car, that I have inadvertently mary-sued myself into being Karl's grandmother.

How did this happen? And did anyone else notice?

Ah, the joys of WIP's! I also just discovered a character I'm at loose ends with. If I had any discipline at all, I'd get rid of him, but I like him too much. Oh well. At least I'm not his grandmother. *g*

My line with the DP is: once posted it can't be changed. (Except for spelling and grammar.) So if I left something lying around on the floor, I have to live with it! Keeps me on my toes, that is for sure. A bit like rl.

Are you OK?

And you aren't getting DP beta-ed either, right? I think that's the only thing that's saved me from really major blunders so far; I have a very picky beta. She catches every inconsistency!

Are you OK?

Yes! Actually doing pretty well- except for a bit of a cold that I apparently will be sharing my time off with!

I've sort of gone off beta. I don't think I'll be using betas again. Long story and I'm tired but one of these days, when we actually get to speak *live*, I will bore on about it. :-)

Nothing against betas, though. I used to adore being betaed!

I'd love to hear why, but you're right- it's one for a live conversation. My only problem with a beta is that I have to be careful not to rely on her so much to catch my errors. It's easy to be lazy when she's so thorough!
