I'm here today with a progress report. When I put together the first draft of the Goosey Manuscript I split it into two parts. Part one ended with my last letter, which I always felt was the half way point in the story. (Perhaps now, with the new developments in Mirth's story, the next letter is the half way point.)
But then I discovered this niffy progress meter.
Wherein the adventures of two cousins is told to a very unlikely group of pernicious and/or prefabricated
readers, involving encounters with robbers, pirates, geese, horses, and other such livestock, to end
in a very old fashioned happily ever after. Also featuring poetry by the great talents of none other than
Lackscroft and Roe-- Poets Extraordinarie.

Progress, I think

Spring cleaning, sorta
Just a bit of housekeeping.
We're getting to the point where our pages (the letters) are getting a bit crowded up there at the top. I had a few ideas what we can do. How about if we make a page that summarizes the letters: "A Previously on Goosey....". Then we can keep the most recent letters, the ones we're currently working on, which right now appears to be letters 6 and 7, and will have no trouble posting new letters.
We just have to be careful about deleting the old pages before I've grab the newly revised material and saved it into manuscript #2. I'll work on that today, up through letter 5. We mustn't loose all our hardwork. So before anyone deletes anything we have to make an annoucement about it. A warning, incoming changes to the blog... that sorta thing.
Oh, and how about a project history page too, like an 'About' page.
What do you think?

Rules, an update
I remember when we started the letter exchange, I gave myself rules to follow, simple ones to keep me focused. So I figured I should update the rules for the editing.
The new rules are as follows:
The new rules are as follows:
- Have Fun (as always this is still the first rule)
- Be Spontaneous
- Make it up as you go along
- Post new entrys to blog every Monday and Thursday
- Rules are made to be broken.
As you can see I've already broken rule number 4, and I am posting this on Tuesday, hence I need to have rule 5, which I've always been a believer in. Grammer rules are good and all, but are they really necessary?
