Chapter 7: Draft 02.  Done.
This is a pretty long chapter.  But that's not the only reason it took so long to finish this draft.  Aside from some personal issues in my life over the last few weeks there were significant technical obstacles: Google.
I decided to use the Beta Version of Google Docs.  This seemed like a good idea at first.  The Goog added a Ruler and better support for comments.  Unfortunately they also made it nearly impossible to get your work out of the Beta Docs in any format that's useful.  I'm sure it's just a Beta Bug, and I'm a dumb ass for committing hours of work to a Beta.  But it still set me back a couple of days.  Twice.
In my anger at Google, I attempted to use the Beta of Microsoft Office Live or whatever they call it.  It would be really cool, except that you have to use Internet Explorer (I use Chrome) and the the way it saves is really really slow.

In Television news; new episodes of Party Down on airing on Starz.  Of course if you have Netflixyou can stream them through your internets Box.  Last night's episode with Steve Guttenberg was pure genius.  Watch it.

Chapter 07; You ignorant Slut

I always get Chapter 07 confused with Jane.  My bad.

Anyways, Chapter 7 has been a real pain.  I have decided to break it into two parts for the purpose of this blog posting of the early draft....

Why?  Because I'm still working on it.  It has been a very difficult section, and even though I know these are just early drafts of a crappy work of fiction that only I am probably even reading I want to post something that is at least readable.

The second part should be up this weekend.  But Red Dead Revolver comes out this week so it's hard to tell.  Rockstar Games makes the good stuff...
