Lesbian Fiction ForumStill working on Simple Sarah. Printed out the first 50 pages and now am randomly editing them. Sentence structure, word usage, and typos are easier to find this way since you don't get lost in the story and bleep over things. If you try this, be sure to number your pages in the header or footer! Else it would be a bugger to transfer the edits into the document.
I have started two new projects. One I had dubbed 'Scholarly Ways' and is about a population that was once on another planet but had to abandon it due to pollution. Skip ahead X years - Their battery banks are finally starting to drain and….well, if I told you more then it would ruin the book, now wouldn't it? I have asked my kid brother to help me come up with a power source that fits within the sustainable philosophy. Kevin sees life differently than I do (thank God!) so I look forward to seeing what he comes up with. I am going to do an outline ahead of time as well as define the plot, do character studies and a timeline. I am going to let my OCD (the anal retentive in all of us) free for a bit.
The other one I have dubbed 'Airport'. This one will be my freewriting book: no formal plot, no outline, just writing. It is amazing what my brain (any brain, really) can come up with while freewriting. This style of writing is how I do most of my stuff, which is why editing is such a bugger.
In Real Life, Sammy got a home. Well, he got his old home back. He is now the Stud Rooster at David Plemmon's farm. Sammy has his own nine or two hens to, well, you know. We have decided to keep Bobby and will hopefully expand his area and get a few hens. We figure it can't hurt to have some around since we both love to hear them talk.
