Winding down

[alfreda89]

Late here, especially since we're going to the Texas Renaissance Fair tomorrow. I have been re-building a synopsis from a skeleton I had, and finding it interesting going. It's maybe harder than it has to be, because I am using a prior synopsis as a frame, as opposed to the usual holistic writing style--but I keep finding large swaths of it useful. I'm just tweaking like mad to concentrate the focus.

Have been meaning to post the names of some recent books I've enjoyed, fiction and non-fiction, but too many other things have intruded. I hope my next one will be Staying Dead by suricattus--it looks satisfying intriguing. Only one slight problem--I see something on the back that I've used in a book I'm working on.

I hope the "mage who has lost his mind" is not a still-living famous mage or reincarnation of someone, because I'd hate to give up my drug-damaged slacker wizard. So, Suri, I really have started him! I can send you the synopsis!

He's not the protagonist!

Hrm. For some reason my responses, while readable when you look for 'em, aren't showing up in the responses display. But only in your journal. Odd...

I think I have things set for screened--I don't have any blocks to becoming a friend, so I want to screen things before I come back to find a tirade from some idiot. Also--until it appears, you should assume I haven't read it.

Wasn't I BORN to be an SF/Fantasy writer? Who thinks of things like that?

People with friends who have been stalked, for starters...

Off to TRF, will answer other things later! %^)
