Winding down

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

I think mine is screening all--that way, if I type something sensitive, people can respond to it between the two of us.

I'm careful responding, because I don't know what their settings are--

Faire colorful, energetic, rained hard before we got there, very humid and fairly hot--only B dressed up, but he was drool-able. N bought a new dress, cotton velvet! ARGHH! But very lovely. Got lots of clove soap from Devonshire Incense and Apothecary--my favorite.

W had two scotch eggs.... %^)
