Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Thanks for the input on my chapter 1 remix. I might use some lines from the experimental version, but I'm still going to start in the same place as I did originally.

Now to extract my newly removed character and spackle up the holes that leaves.

Now for my experiment with chapter 3. A section with a different POV since the character that knows the significance of something is not currently the POV character and would in no way tell the POV character. I think it might work better even though I like to stay primarily with the main character. That's like 7 POVs, main character, new dude, henchman, bad dude, that other guy, another dude, and a another woman, yep 7 distributed throughout. Probably 80-90% is in the main character's POV still.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The dude playin' the dude disguised as another dude?

Clearly

I don't know why I didn't say Aimee, Martin, Rainier, Curtis, Asan'Gareth, Holly, and Avar. I feel oddly reluctant to use names.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

::gestures vaguely::

Interested, but reluctant to commit.

Sigh. Way to reinforce the stereotype, dcp.

Hand!

May I do the cover art?

I, for one, would love to have you do the cover, Deena. You do beautiful artwork.

Because books.

God, me too. And you'll write something, yes?


Amy - Sep 18, 2009 3:47:26 pm PDT #2366 of 6693
Because books.

Also, that's 22 people I counted who are interested. Three of those want to help with editing or production rather than writing.

dcp, I didn't include you, but if you write something when we finally come to some sort of decision about what and when, please feel free to send it in.

Yes, most happily.
