Plot Schmot

Oh Bah bah and thrice bah!

Why do I have try to be accurate? Why can’t I just write the blithering thing and not worry about whether words like Jingoism were in circulation in 1816? (it wasn’t). Why do I care whether Sandhurst existed or not? (It didn’t) Why do I care what the weather was like??? grrrrr.

Research holds things UP.

*stabs self* I want to be the sort of writer who DOESN’T GIVE A STUFF.

*stabs characters*

This Is all gehayi’s fault anyway. *stabs her* She made it expand into a novel. We brainstormed last night and now I’ve got character traits for one of my gay young men, and a strong woman character (which makes a first for me)

I don’t actually have any PLOT so the characters will have to work that out as they go along, as usual. *pokes them*

And I’ve just contacted a web designer regarding a new website…. *excited *

I have yielded to temptation and ordered "Standish" from Amazon.co.uk. (Also "Who Killed Albus Dumbledore?", which sounds like a fairly fun read). "A Strong and Sudden Thaw", however, is 'currently unavailable' from Amazon.com. Grrrrr....

Squee! I really hope you like it.

as for Thaw - mail rwday - I'm quite sure that she'll order one for you and accept paypal from you. She's in SF until Sunday tho.

I'm sure she would, but I don't have Paypal. I was planning on abusing my Visa debit card some more...
