Ch 9 and this and that
Well, I've gotten two pages written on chapter 9 now. One POV from Dao Quy and one from Hannibal. I was going to work on Face next, and then decided I want to finish all the DQ and Hannibal sections first, then slip Face's POVs in between. I don't usually work that way, but for some reason I want to get a handle on those two first, and then fit Face's stuff to juxtapose them.
One thing I'm discovering about Dao Quy is that I really like her character, and I'm finding myself wishing I was writing a story (ala Tess) about her and Face. I won't be able to have her too much in this story, because that would really be going off on a tangent, and add several really unnecessary chapters, but I might write one of their time together as sort of an addendum.
Speaking of Tess, I think I'm going to use that Character Test for her and the others. Maybe that will get me back on track there as well. Finding that site was really a godsend for this story, I know that.
Oh my. Having quite an email discussion with JFM about slash and characterization, and with Billy on writing as a whole - so enjoyable to be able to speak frankly, and really discuss things. Sometimes I think talking about writing is more interesting than actually writing - writing is WORK!
I'm thinking about going back on the list - just for commenting and discussions. No posting for a while yet. Not until Covenant is completed, at any rate. And not right away - still feeling a little too antagonized, so not a good time for it. But I do miss it.

And I knew I was right to hold on and not believe he was dead. ;-)

Darn, JFM - now I'm thinking I should drop everything and get back to him! See what you did? ;-)

Hah, nicely put! :D The spin off is fun, even though I know only a couple of people are reading it. But it also lets me practice things, try things out, it's teaching me about weaving a story over a very long period of time, and of course about character development over time. I'd never been good with writing strong emotions in characters, always feared being melodramatic, but I've let myself get into that in the spin off, working on how to do it and I do think it's feeding back into the other stories now, they are getting more psychological.

Oh no, now Billy will whack me if I delay the return of Tess!
