Author's Note: Yep, it's a fix-it! :)

( By now I was good at reading Steve Rogers. He was saying there was no one he trusted more, and he and Bucky wanted some alone time together. I was good with both sentiments, proud of Steve’s trust in me, and understood the depth of Steve and Bucky’s love for each other. )

OMIGODDESS, SAW IT!!!

WOW!!!

Gotta wrap my head around this and try and write a review.

Go quickly or avoid the Internet. A-holes spoiling the movie with alarming frequency. >:(

Well, it was a productive morning! Once I was able to get the boring work-related stuff out of the way, ha, I managed to do those edits on my profic. The change from Detective-to-Officer was easy, as I only needed to make that correction in one chapter. I had originally thought of my policeman character as a detective, so when I made the switch I forgot about the references in an earlier chapter. Fixed!

Also, I decided to keep my forgotten clue in and worked that into the narrative. I may do a little more tweaking on that, but I'm essentially finished, unless I think of something major to add/delete/change. I don't think so, as if this manuscript is ever bought by a professional publisher, they'll be having me do a zillion edits, anyway. And now I'm ready to move on to the next novel.

I did manage a little fanfic work, though that's third on the list.

I think I'm going to pass on Captain Marvel. I was never a fan of the character and I'd rather save my money for the next Avengers movie. :)

( Why is it )

It's Avengers Week!!! :)

Okay, the movie might disappoint (ads and trailers never tell the whole story) but I think this will be a good one. Marvel generally handles large casts well, and this one appears to be A Cast Of Thousands, Cecil B. DeMille -style. :)

This could be the end of this current run, as:

1) The studio won't want to pay the kind of money the actors would demand with new contracts.

2) The actors may not want to commit to a new batch of movies.

3) Some of the actors will be aging out of their roles.

I'm still kinda excited. I'm hoping for fresh writing inspiration. :)

Who's ready to go see The Avengers: Infinity War?

( The landscape was blue-on-white, the sky pressing down on mountains as rivulets of snow ran down like vanilla ice cream on a sundae. The wind blew, cutting into the fleece-lined parka that Natasha Romanoff wore as she surveyed the vastness of this section of Finland, Russia’s long-suffering neighbor. Ice sparkled as the cold flared her nostrils. )

( The wind was cold as clouds passed across the face of the moon, momentarily blocking its silvery light. The street was empty of pedestrians and only a few cars drove by as it was fifteen minutes before midnight. A display of grinning Jack O’Lanterns glowed at the entrance to the park a few blocks away. )

I just saw Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron, and am squeeing a little. :) Was it as good as the original Avengers movie? No, but the only sequel I’ve ever seen that surpassed the original was The Empire Strikes Back, so that’s a tough act to follow.

I can say that the movie was enjoyable and had some squee-worthy scenes. The original film was near-perfection in how it all came together, but even near-perfection has to be organic. You can assemble the pieces but it’s in the stars whether or not they form that level of quality. The first Woodstock Festival is a perfect example. The subsequent festivals were duds because you can’t catch lightning in a bottle twice.

So, if you’d like to find out my impressions, read on!

( Here be spoilers!!! )
