Ch 9 and this and that

[ostarella]

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.

Heh, I know, and it's distracting me from writing too. :D I'm wrking now, I'm working. No wait, I'm on Live Journal!

Next thing you know you'll have a spin off series covering years of her life... :D Darn those pesky OCs that bring a load of baggage with them. ;-)

Hey it's been fun discussing stuff... I feel, well, quite a newbie to this writing lark, so it's great to talk to pro's like you and JFM ;O)

Oh and I hope this means you'll bring back Tess...now that's a relationship with Face I could handle... because is it or isn't it, will it or won't it? They're the best kind ;P

Hey, writing to me isn't work, it's also fun. I love to chat though...hence why tonight I've got nothing *Work*-wise done ;o)

and it's great to bounce ideas about etc...not so good to do on the ATSB... I know that it probably wouldn't happen, but ideas could get stolen ;o( best to keep it to a small group you trust wholeheartedly...and that will give you an honest opinion...like "WHAT? Don't write THAT!!!" Actually it's JFM and Bevimoo's fault about A Beautiful Lie... they said write it ;O)
