@Bytemite: It's actually family drama of the big doo doo kind, so it's even worse than wedding drama. It's calmed down at the moment, but we're all waiting for that other shoe to drop...

Go here: http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html and check out Google Wave. And yes, Wave is a Firefly reference :o)

@Clio: Thanks :o) I think you really need to have a bunch of people all using Wave together to make it useful...after the first day of clicking around, I've kind of lost interest cuz no one's using it...

@GillianRose: The pact is working well, even if I'm now exploring whole new areas I wasnt' even planning to write before... I'm still writing! And your help has been invaluable!

Byte,

I've had lots, lots of hand-holding to get this far. An embarrassing amount of hand-holding on the part of very generous friends who do not visibly lose patience with me as I fiddle around and around again. But if you'd like to take a look at the draft, I can send it :)

@Serenityriddle - just send me the email address you want me to send the invite to in a Private Message

I would like an invite. What do you need in order to invite me if you want to. :)

Posting? Anyone need a beta reader? :)

2x2 modestly omits the fact that the writing pact was her genius idea. I'm so grateful! Just being able to tell myself, "hey, open the document, write 1 sentence and you're good" is incredibly freeing. I'm actually looking to be able to post part 6 in the next week!

About google wave, it's kinda-sorta tricky but looks really promising, especially for streamlining collaborations.

Good luck with your million things! I've got Google Wave invites, too – of course, I finally got my invite only to discover I can't make heads or tails of the whole operation!

Way you said "wedding drama" sounded kinda ominous... Though I guess ominous is the standard mode when it comes to drama.

<_< Hey, I know a good tension release. Venting to the internet! If you ever feel like it, anyway. This season does get pretty busy, so I hope you can get some time for yourself to enjoy it all.

Heard about this pact of yours through the grape-rope vine. Sounds exciting!

(Googly what now?)
