Next year, I will buy the latest Jasper Fforde novel and this will be Thursday NEXT thoughts for a week. So there.
Not accomplished much this week. Been swamped and snarly - connected, but not a complete 1:1 correlation.
I have consistently kept up with my self-imposed boot camp, though, and turning out some starts that look like they could be fun stories. When I'm done, I'll browse back through and pick one to work on - for now. Amusingly, there are a lot of stories with romance aspects, more so than I usually do, because Plots Unlimited is heavily weight to those kinds of plots and subplots. Of course, I enjoy romance - every novel I've done that I can remember has had a romantic subplot or five, and I do short stories that either feature it or involve it - but it's never been a central concern. (That said, look for "The Weatherwoman" in a couple days, and that IS definitely a romance.)
I finished rereading the first six or seven chapters of Scylla and Charybdis. I had forgotten I made Valasca the chief doctor, which makes some changes to the timbre of this more recent sequence. Ready to pound the pavement in the next few days.
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).
