Cover Art Forms

I just got a request to complete the cover art forms for The Billionaire’s Seduction.
Cool. It feels a lot more real now.

And still nothing on Merlin. I vegged and it’s possible that Frodo has croup… I never know how to spell the bloody word and he has it often enough! So writing could be out tomorrow too.

Exhaustion day

Yesterday was an Exhaustion Day. I got nothing done. Samwise was on a vomit-a-thon… the first hint of a cough had him throwing up. It wasn’t pleasant. And I was just a damp dishrag.

So today I did manage to crawl out to my Anicient Egyptian Warfare and Weapons course. Luckily, there’s an ex-Major and a tactics/weapons bloke in the group. They’re filling in the gaps left by the tutor… which is usually the detailed interesting stuff. Ho hum.

I will try to get back to Merlin tonight. I was sketching out what needs to happen while I waited for the class to begin. I’m sure they’ll start to wonder what I’m doing, as I write nothing when the class is in progress, LOL However, the new Stargate is on… and more inportantly Series 6 CSI. And apparently Grissom still has the beard…

Surfacing…

Okay. The Doubt Demons are starting to surface. This story is way, way, way beyond what a Authurian tale normally is. And because of this, is it complete pants?

I’m hitting all the marks for the various myths. A surprising amount actually, LOL. They’re just twisted into a story that even makes me go: “What the f-?”

Write it and see. That’s all I can do. And if Teebee’s nice to me (hi, Teebee!) then she can do an excellent Freddie Kruger on it *grin* Then it might make better sense.

But we’ll see.

Attack of the Plot Bunnies…

A plot bunny just jumped out and bit me. Bugger.

My plot was sorted. Morgan had done what she had done. Nimue could sort it. But no. Attack of the Plot Bunny. Now I have to sort this bit out. Should be more interesting though. Especially since Merlin is insane and currently hiding in a bush, LOL

Back to the wip

Saturday

Yesterday, with two small hobbits and The Ent running rampage, I got little done.

Merlin has slipped over my self-imposed deadline. There’re about 2 scenes left, possibly 3. And then I remembered that in the centre of the story I wrote *insert sex scene here*. Bum.

When I’ve finished writing a sex scene, it’s fine. Well, more than fine. The editor for The Billionaire’s Seduction called the new bath scene delicious (thank you, Linda, hehe). It’s getting into it in the first place… Ho hum.

That’s the scene, not the bath, btw…

So the plan for today is to try and get the story finished, then go back and write sex *grin*

I have time as The Ent has taken Frodo and Samwise to the park. Unfortunately, those gits at Sky One are about to put Stargate’s Divide and Conquer on. As I said, complete gits.

Off to sit in front of the teleivision with my laptop and try to get into Nimue’s head.

*phew* It’s Crossroads. So I’m staying right here. Besides one scene about ‘sparkage’, it’s dull.

Happy Burns Night

The tatties are on. The haggis is waiting. There’re are no no neeps as I can’t stand them… Yeuk! Green beans and peas instead. I’m sure old Rabbie is spinning, LOL

No writing today. Just a day of phoning Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists – who are always the most difficult to contact – and organising a day of activities for Frodo in the February half term.

And Treebeard – who know doesn’t want to be known as Treebeard anymore… he just wants to be The Ent – has said that he’ll sort out my FTP.
Oh look. What’s that flying over the broad canopy of leaves?

Hoom Hom.

Himself the Elf

Thanks for the kind words about The Apprentice *grin*. Just wanted to reply here, because the machine ate your comment, LOL Don’t ask me how, I have no idea…

Found it in my emails *grin*

Kim, The Apprentice was a wonderful tale. You should consider revisiting and adding
to it. It has the beginnings of a full length, and a darned good one at that!

Posted by Himself the Elf to I really should be writing… at 1/18/2006 10:10:15

Yup – It turned out to be a prologue. That was completely unexpected. The way my writing is going – it will probably be the next novel after Alchemy. But as yet, I have no idea what it’ll be about, LOL
