First Line (Written This Week): The same small shudder runs through her when Flynn locks her disc into place, and Tron sees the telltale blue flash in her eyes that indicates synchronization.
Last Line (Written This Week): Alan and Lora exchange a glance, and Alan’s gratified to see Lora looks as confused as he feels. He asks slowly, “Is that a bad thing?”
Favorite Line (Written This Week): “This isn’t a normal situation, though,” Lora says, still staring at Flynn. “This—the fact that we’re here at all—is beyond my wildest dreams. I would have gotten this far if you’d kept me at Encom.” She’s frowning now, and Flynn’s smile fades a little. “I mean—have you even been making usable notes about what you’re doing here, Flynn? About what’s happened?”
He winces. “A few?”
Lora shakes her head. “Of course. But—we’re in uncharted territory, here. Something like self-generating code isn’t possible at home, but what if it is? What if we just haven’t advanced far enough yet? This—situation, introducing organic life to a digital interface—you’ve been combining things that haven’t been combined before. When we were digitizing fruit, we always took it right back out again. But you’ve been… here. Over and over again.”
Other Stuff: Yay for the return of snippets!! I went ahead and included the first bit of what I wrote this week, even though it was pretty straightforward rewrite stuff. The latter two snippets (particularly the favorite one) are from the whole revision of the following scene.
I am hoping I can get more done next week, though. This week was kind of a bust on the Getting Stuff Done front. Mostly for video game-related reasons again (sigh). Also the eternal problem of not knowing how to rewrite the scene that needed serious rewriting. Sigh (again). But I feel like I'm mostly back on track, so. Here's hoping!
