My editing process so far is going like this:
Cut.
Chop, chop, chop.
Don’t need this. :throws chapters over her shoulder: And this. And this.
Chop chop.
If novel was a body, Kate 4 would be dismembered.

On the forum there is serious tauntage going on by the winners of the LOL caption contest, who are now in the possession of Curran POV snippet.
The snippet will eventually be posted for all, but meanwhile I bring you a tiny snippet.
The mound exploded. Chunks of dirt pelted the snow. Solomon lunged at me, laughing.
I dodged and carved at his side. Slayer sliced a narrow line just under Solomon’s ribs. Red gushed.
Solomon whipped about and backhanded me. The punch smashed into my chest. I flew, slid through the snow, and crashed against something. Cold sliced my right side, as if someone thrust an icicle into my kidney. My lungs burned. Colored circles swam before my eyes. I must’ve hit my head.
I squinted – the body of a broken golem. Warm sticky liquid wet my side. I wanted a shower to wash it off… Yep, definitely hit my head.
“Shake it off,” {censored} said. “Come on. Up you go.”
I jerked myself free. The golem’s spear jutted out, propped by its corpse and its spearhead was red with my blood. Just what I need.
“Did your eyes clear yet?”
“Hold your horses. I’m coming.” Yeah, not so much.
“From where I stand, you’re just breathing laboriously.”
The snow swam in and out of focus. “Breathing hard. Are you coming or just breathing hard. You’ve got to get your one liners straight.”
“Thanks. I’ll remember that.”
Now, the snippets aren’t all up, so I can’t check them, but I recall getting the distinct impression that Kate ran into a relative in one of them.
I wonder if Roland actually killed her mom or if that’s just what everyone thinks. And then there’s still the question of why Voron killed himself the way he did–that’s way too painful for him to have done it to himself without somebody making him, methinks.
Hm.
This is pretty much what I’m thinking too.
Can’t wait for curran snippet part 2!
Thanks!!
He killed himself? Allright have to read all the books again – i did not realize it.
Shame on me
your not the only one i’ll be reading mine again
you know, i always wondered if it was actually Voron. i mean what if it was staged? and i agree with you about Kate’s mother. i think she still might be alive. no body to prove it with.
i’m with you on the Voron thing but i really did think her mom was killed, then again kate talks about how much Roland loved her which is why he was gonna let her have a baby… hmmmm
ohhh, thanks for snippet!!! *is excited*
THANK YOU!! You are teh bestest.
Ohhh thank you Ilona- this will definitely help with the wait for part 2 of the POV
Much gratitude for the snippet! Dealing with a summer cold and I’m way cranky. This helped.
The folks who write the best books know how to dismember them and toss their favorite scenes aside. It hurts, but it really works.
This is an awesome snippet. Good clues to think about. Thank you, Ilona!
yay thank you.
