Finishing Chapter 4
I think I finally got a grip on that last scene in chapter 4 yesterday and how to give an idea of internal turmoil without a lot of navel gazing. Hoping to finish that this week, so I can move on to a very seasonal chapter 5.
The muse is being her assholey self and throwing plot bunnies at me left and right. Some of them I’m filing (hutching?) away for later use, some of them are so out of the blue that I can only give her a wtf look. Like, a Christmas story? I don’t really do Christmas stories. I got murders to plot and characters to torture. Which part of that gave you the idea I’ll write a Christmas story? Now, be a good little muse and focus on friggin’ chapter 5. (I’ll so pay for that line. )

*g* I bet she could be bribed with some of your Christmas baking. ;)
I would love to bribed. If you are seriously interested in some goodies, please let me know. I'm sending another mailing out first of this coming week. Tokyo, Croatia, and No Dakota are some of the destinations. :) Also, what do you like, I can bake just about anything.
Better not. She'd get used to that kind of treatment and then I'd be doomed. (Thanks for offering, though. I'm quite touched.)
That is the response I keep getting apparently writers do not like free baked goodies. It must be a writer thing, since no one else turns them down. Oh well, what can you do. :(
Awwww, it's more of a distance thing, being aware of postage and not wanting any delectables crushed and spoiled in transit. They are just better enjoyed locally and fresh. That doesn't mean the sentiment is not appreciated. Should we ever meet at a con or other, I'd beg to be regaled. ;)
One of the things I enjoyed about "Santuario" was the absence of "over-reaching". Complexity of emotion or detail seems to invite a degree of excess that some authors handle better than others, and while I certainly allow for what others might require and for an authors desire to provide for all, the insight and ability to walk the fine line between enough and what lies beyond is a distinction worthy of mention, and applause!

That was awesome. Thank you. I was looking for a suitable Xmas desktop. Problem solved. ;)
