First, I love that song...Fame is AMAZING, and I'm really annoyed with this remake that's coming out!

Anyway, I'm totally looking forward to reading your teaser!! 1k a day is a great pace to maintain! Also, don't sweat the descriptions. I used to write pages and pages of descriptions, and a good chunk of them were cut out by my agent, and/or various critique partners. It took me a while to realize it, but I certainly did NOT need an entire page dedicated to describing my heroine's dress for that day!! :-P In reading with a writer's eye, I've also realized that we--as readers--are able to produce an entire image/world in our head from just a few, decent lines of description. So I wouldn't worry about putting in loads of description, as I bet you've created more of a (physical) world than you realize.

As for the Outer Alliance, it's awesome that there's a movement to embrace and support this stuff! It honestly made my day when J. K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay, haha! :-)

Anyway, I hope writing is going well!!
