Chain my ankle to the desk ‘cause the fun’s just starting!

Mar 27 By Marjorie

I have revisions to finish this week, both for a short story and the September novella, A Dream of Stone and Shadows.  But that’s all good. I’m looking forward to it, including the part where I print both of them out and just whip through.  I’ve also started writing the new book, Eye of Heaven.  This one is going to be a lot of fun, but mostly because the bad guys are really kind of awful.  I’ve played around with the idea of adding in a third viewpoint—that of my villain—but I don’t want to get too complicated.  Or maybe I do.  I’ll just have to figure it out as I go along.  I’m also playing with ideas for the sixth Dirk & Steele novel.  I think I may step away from the agency for a bit—have it lurking there on the periphery, but not as something either the hero or the heroine are aware of.  Again, still considering my options.  I never really know what’s going to happen until I sit down and write, but I do have to have some ideas ready when the art department contacts me for a description of the hero and heroine.  Hopefully I still have another month or two before that happens (although I already know what they look like…the real issue is with providing enough story information to guide the artist). 

Anyway, by this time next week I’ll be on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera.  Yay!  I am, however, slightly worried about seasickness.  I’m going to see the doctor for some tummy medication, and I also bought one of those biobands that you wrap around your wrist.  According to the description, it “interrupts signals between your stomach and your brain.” Woo!  Hopefully, I won’t need it, though I have enough trouble on planes without worrying about a boat.  I’m bringing my computer along, though.  Eye of Heaven is due on May 1st, which means I have little over a month to give Blue a decent story. 

I love challenges.  Really.

Apparently, there’s a “10 Things I Know About Writing” meme going around, and while I don’t have anything remotely intelligent to offer, I have seen some really great contributions.  Holly Black’s is my favorite, though.

Your Famous Movie Kiss is from Spiderman

What Famous Movie Kiss Are You?

Sheesh.  Who wouldn’t like to pull a Mary Jane on Spiderman?  In the rain, no less!
