All Day Writing.

[lagilman]

I spent ten minutes contemplating "attack and defense" versus "attack and counterattack."

They sound the same, but they're so very different. And who is saying it matters as much as what they're trying to convey. Even moreso when it's one character talking about what another character is thinking. So you have A's intent and B's interpretation of what A's intent is, and it's all under the surface and totally unconscious on the part of the characters but me? I have to be conscious of it.

Multiple-voice, multi-layered stories make my head hurt.

I'm so deep into the minutia of this book, I can't see the larger picture any more. One more day of work, I think and then it's time for my betas to take over.


A man who believed in his own destiny was a man who would fight for it. A man in control of his life would accomplish things that were otherwise impossible. And if control was an illusion, fate a fickle wind under another's command?

He would keep that knowledge to himself.



Also, on another topic entirely, since kradical already said it quite well, my take on the whole idiotic "mosque at Ground Zero" bullshit-athon.

Have a random distraction that doesn't require thought. With bonus forearm porn ;)

I'm just sad about this whole issue. To be clear, that it IS an issue at all.
