practical authorkeeping 101: small treasures of the writing process

[lagilman]

Working working working...write a line that, out of the blue, ties in something that was described in book one, and draws an interesting connection between Merlin, Morgain Le Fey, and Arthur, and is a total throwaway line.

Small things that make the author go "damn, I'm good."

:-D


In other news, the weather is sleetish-ick, the cats are sleeping, and the breakfast was leftover Chinese. Welcome to the exciting life of the professional writer.

Hi, I'm just popping in to do the annoying fangirl thing and let you know how much I enjoyed Staying Dead, which I finished reading last night. I promise not to *squeeeeee*, but it was such a good read, had me hooked from the first scene with the spoke in the wheels wish and is one of the best new SF things I've read in a long time... now waiting impatiently for the sequel. Brilliant plot, good characters, lots of fun to read, satisfying ending - you're good at this writing thing, aren't you? :)

I could use some sleety weather and leftover Chinese. Got the sleeping cats, though.
