Pussy Willows - Nature's WIP |
For now I'm going to just take care of the typos. I'll let it sit again, but not for long. I think this one can go out in a few months and try to make its way in the world.
Once the read over was done I decided it was time to get going on Bound. The idea's been kicking around since November or so. I did a few world-building exercises for it. I could have done more, but realized they'd gone from an exercise to an excuse.
I have more than 2000 words now. I intend on knuckling down on it soon.
For context I've added a few more that two sentences
Bound:
"She'd blot it from her mind as she'd done with so many uncomfortable feelings over the years. She'd dance with Johnal at least once. She'd dance with him all night if she could, but if it led to anything else she'd forfeit her training. Acolytes must be virgins."

Last week I read Jean McNeil's The Ice Lovers (McArthur and Company, 2009). The setting is Antarctica a few years from now and that's what attracted me to it. She certainly did her homework for it, even went there.
It's an okay book, but it's not compelling enough to read again. That said, she got it published and it caused me to buy it. That's more than I've accomplished.
Two sentences:
"She said, ' I never know what time it is on base.'
'Time doesn't matter here.' "

Thanks, Laura and Bossy Betty.
So glad you're glad. A sense of accomplishment for sure!
Your 2 new sentences are intriguing...I'm wondering what the plot is?
Wish time didn't matter so much here!
Can't wait to read Dead Broke, I am glad you are pleased with it. I found your new lines interesting too.
Thanks, Dawn. I haven't distilled the plot down to one sentence yet. I think it may be quite fluid.
Reb, thanks. I know you'll have your chance someday.
Keep pushing toward your dream. Your words make me want to read more, and to go back and read slowly to get more out of it.
Thank you for your support, Messymimi.
