The Craziness of March has come, but it has not passed

It's going to be a busy month, and it's already nearly half over!!!

I'm starting Barbara Samuel's Voice II class next week, the kids have Spring Break, and I'm working on these revisions.

Revisions are going okay so far. I was going to start with printing out all the pages of my first draft, punching them, and filing them in a binder to do a read through, as I've seen suggested in several places. I still plan to do that, but I already knew of a few obvious plot holes with relatively easy fixes to make before I read or got any beta readers involved. So I decided to do those first, which has been keeping me pretty busy for the last week or so.

Hoping to trek over to Office Depot for the printout in the very near future. I figure it's better to abuse their large printing monsters than torture my little HP photo printer, and it will probably be less expensive in the long run than using all my own ink cartridges and paper.

Not to mention I have "bonus bucks" to use after purchasing my new laptop from them. (I am sad they failed to mention that "cash back" really meant credit to use in the store. Grr.)

Not to mention me and printers have this thing. We don't get along very well.

When I worked in an office, people assumed that since I was kind of tech savvy--I worked on the departmental intranet site, and I could always get them out of their fixes, like lost toolbars--I could also troubleshoot printers and copiers. Um, no. I am terrified of them. :-)

I went on an online scavenger hunt this afternoon, looking for more articles about character arcs, change, etc. Somehow (isn't it funny how that works?) I ended up at Margie Lawson's site. I've been there before. I'm considering either taking her Empowering Character's Emotions workshop in person--she'll be at a local writer's group in May--or downloading the packet from her site.

Anyone taken this class or downloaded the material? Would love to hear how it worked for you, and also any other good resources for writing emotion and nonverbal communication.

By the way, can you name the source of my (somewhat altered) post title? Ten points if you can. Ten points for what, I still don't know, but I'm keeping track. ;)
