So a long Friday <i>could be</i> world-building. ;)<br /><br />Glad you made it to the ice cream stage.

And then we cut out a lot of worldbuilding because it was hindering the flow and then the copyedtior got all confused and sent me tons of notes on missing backstory and I fell apart....<br /><br />But it's fixed, and seven hundred times better than it was before. Because my editor is awesome. <br /><br />Also I ate a lot of cheetos and skittles. :(Miriam Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773194271144793485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-2871702398844475742012-05-01T09:06:28.330-04:002012-05-01T09:06:28.330-04:00Mmmm...ice cream.

'Cause it's spooky, right?<br /><br />I googled up a moon chart for June of 1867 in Pennsylvania and carefully plotted out exactly what phase the moon should be in and when it would appear in the sky for every part of my story.<br /><br />Then, in the second round of revisions and line edits, my editor cut the moon references altogether.
