the Writing Mind

[lagilman]

So I wake up from a somewhat disturbing nightmare (one of those quiet-scary ones, not a technicolor flesh-eating zombie kind) and decided to reply to e-mail, as long as I'm awake. And, while time-delay discussing cover art for BRING IT ON with l'editrix, had a Sudden Genius Flash about Book 4. Which apparently my subconscious mind has known about for some time, considering how well I've set things up in books 1-3, but only now decided to let the rest of me in on.

So as soon as I have some caffeine in me, I have to rough the details in and see if it floats.


ETA: Ran it by Muse and Agent and was given sleepy thumbs-up.


lizard brain, 1, rational brain 0-but-at-bat.




And I need a lizard-brain-lightbulb icon, clearly.

Why a lizard brain bulb? :}

[lagilman]

Because it's easier than trying to grow them from cuttings?

gratze, signora. Although we were actually doing high test Earl Grey yesterday, which seemed to do that job. Not only did I get the Book Thoughts squared away, I started a new project notefile and am halfway through the precis. Just what I needed, another proposal-and-chapters to write. Wheeeee!

I wish I could drink caffeinated tea; I like it, but it doesn't like me back.

Hoobah! on the new project. Would you care to write the last 22K or so words of Cruel Sister for me? No? (hey, worth a shot....)
