Apr. 21st, 2005 02:59 pmShame on who? Okay – so I took my kids to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Butterfly garden there. The Gardens are basically right next door to the Phoenix Zoo, and as I was driving by, there are about four people standing up behind a very large sign that says, “Shame On the Phoenix Zoo” or something similar, with words under it that say something about a labor dispute. Okay. What gets me, is that at least two of the people ‘picketing’ were obviously illegal immigrants or undocumented workers or whatever it is we’re supposed to me calling them now. Isn’t that a little….stupid? You’re in a labor dispute, so you hire someone who’s in the country illegally to stand in the picket line for you? Apparently this is common here. They had a news piece about it on TV a few weeks ago, where a reported asked the people who were picketing what the problem was – what was their dispute? Their answer? They didn’t have the slightest idea! Only one of them even spoke English! Come on, people! That’s just sad.
Anyway - Chapter 22 – Surprising Revelations is done with the beta reading. Alexandra is just brilliant! I can’t say enough nice things about her, really. She manages to correct my mistakes and often times sheer dopey-ness with good humor, without making me feel like a stupid idiot at the end of it all.
So with a little luck, I’ll submit the chapter to Fiction Alley on Saturday morning before I head out of town for the day (I’m going up north to visit my parents’ gravesite), and then post it at ff.net and the Lexicon on Sunday.
Also, I downloaded Yahoo! Messenger – and I have no idea how it works, yet, but I can be reached there at a_is_for_amy if anyone wants to chat some time.

GryffindorWitchy - Yes, I felt guilty for doing that to Connor, but it had to happen. I hope to write about Connor’s fourth year, but I’m going to have to wait to see if inspiration strikes, so even if I come up with an idea right away, it’ll still be a couple of months before I start the next installment, so that I can get the first few chapters written before I start posting. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
LilyoftheEarth - It is harsh, isn’t it? Things are going to go from bad to…interesting pretty quickly. Since we’re coming up on the last chapters, I can’t really say too much more about it, for fear of giving too much away. I’m writing a more formal outline for the remaining chapters so that I don’t forget to put any of the important parts in.
