Wasn't planning on posting today, but my writing files are all transferred and on the laptop already and I'm not leaving for a few hours, so a bit at loose ends.
Still in a cool-down period with my writing, though I've made some progress on Journal of the Dead. I want to do two things with it next: review the first twenty pages or so to make sure that I've thoroughly grounded the world and main character, and then pick pages to review at random. Not sure how many yet, but it seems another good way to get a fresh eye on it.
Before that, though, I am going to try a draft of synopsis and query. This will not be a fun experience, though I'm hoping having the outline will help me narrow in on what to mention for the former. For the latter, I will just muddle through. Squish squish. Tis the bane of my existence, I tell ya.
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).
