Writer Tamago

Chapter 3 is now outlined, and I'm ready to start drafting. I have to admit to some pain and lack of confidence, as I have to get rid of stuff I like, but stuff that clearly will not work, to pull up things that are a great unknown in the interest of making the story [...]

Just a friendly update from Cath's local tech guru/site admin,

Here are those outtakes I said I would post. These should give you a good idea of Errol, Geoffrey, Marcellus, and Stephanus.

I was going to put outtakes here today, but I've discovered that converting everything to simplified text, and then editing it takes more time than I've got. So, going to check with my tech guru and see if there's an easier way to skin a cat. I will be working on chapter 3, starting this [...]

Boys and Girls: I started reading SoS chapter 1 today, to get the flow of the thing for the next scene, and discovered a boat load of mistakes. Turns out I'd saved the wrong version of the beasty. Well, this put me in a revising mood, and I tidied up chapters 1 and 2. I [...]

Apologies! Things look really whacky here tonight. I'll be looking into that. Well, today's seven pages introduced Carlo Borgia and Elaine Klarion to Stephanus. There's a lot of good personal stuff, and some necessary exposition. I'm a little concerned about pacing, but I'm hoping for some strong workshop help. My gut says after so much [...]

So far, today has been a distribution day. Send out the completed outline to interested parties. Add scenes in that you've written earlier. Post scenes and revised chapters at workshops. Class has been cancelled tonight, however, so I should have some time to watch more M*A*S*H write some chapter 2 scenes for Substance, and write [...]

Rough scene writing today. I killed Marcellus. That won't come until much later in the Klarion stories, but I wrote the scene today for the outtakes from the original version of the story. It was so sad! When I get a chance, I'll post it in various spots. Plotted chapter 2 of the original work. [...]

Well, the giri outline is done, and now I have to procrastinate further write the selected scenes I'll enjoy! Actually, for those of you who asked for the outline, it should be coming to you no later than Tuesday, depending on the virtues or lack thereof of tomorrow's windshield repair man. The inserted scenes will [...]

Righty-o! First of all, melded together the first chapter of Substance of Shadows. Nothing substantial changed, so that was rewriting. Here's what we did. New names: Stephanus Gale instead of You-Know-Who Tink becomes Esper, a shadow servant The basic stuff can stay. Atreus is still a drunken abuser of tiny children. Flavia is still the [...]
