Lacking a Central Theme

Yesterday was such a writer's high, not only the SG-1 pron, but the NIP. Class has really been so much more than I expected it to be, discussionwise, and of course, now that we've really hit our strides - both novel wise and as a class and a group of critiquers for each other, it's about to end. And my teacher does actually get where my story is going, which is a relief, because I was worried that it sounded pretty but didn't say anything. (And dude, seriously, there's just nothing better than sitting in a group of people, all of whom are intensely invested in figuring out that a) the main character has a slew of guns that he needs to get from his ship to another ship down to another place and the plan involves either sneaking them onto said second ship when a bunch of other people are there or stealing the ship and b) they all want him to steal the ship because he thinks it would be a lot more fun. They are very, very bad at encouraging him to Do the Right Thing!)

Mostly, it makes me feel like this all will work out, and that someone will want to read it, but it's also coming together thematically, which, god, that's such a blessing.

I splurged and bought the latest Starburst edition because I just can't resist the commentary, and there's nothing that makes me feel quite as gooily happy as people who are really good at what they do talking about what they do in the geekiest way possible (and seriously, Ben Browder and Claudia Black mercilessly harrassing David Kemper will always be worth the price of admission because all three of them are so damned smart and sooo easily distracted and they all call each other on all sorts of ridiculous things and have so much admiration and affection for each other and it is just so much love.)
