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!

Oh, Dra. Dra is evil. I have three shirts, bought over the years as I had the cash, and I treat them better than anything else I own...

(my oldest is over ten years old and only now starting to fray -- they're worth the money!)

Oh, yes, Dra is very evil. And it was a wretch not to try on that gorgeous silk shirt. But in the back of my fuzzy mind, I knew there was something I needed that $200 for...and if my bod continues to cooperate, I will start taking a month-long test Wednesday that costs $200. My last gasp with this doctor to find out what is causing the accelerated arthritis, since the LBb treatment isn't slowing the advance.

No insurance can be a %$#@!.

I figure if I'm meant to own a Dra, the money and the shirt will coincide! %^)

Finished "Staying Dead". Fun stuff, great characters--you done very, very good!
