I can see it being extremely useful as I construct "Ride Byfrost Bridge" an Action Adventure / Romance with a powerful lead female (she just doesn't show it all at once), and an equally powerful lead - in a land of desolation. <br /><br />I also see this in a sub plot in Harshest Journey, but he doesn't see it coming, all he sees is 'her'. And then he's married. <br /><br />Sadly, this is subplot, not anywhere near the main plot (except at the aorta where it is cutting). <br /><br />The main story is a Fantasy Adventure / Buddies story between a Pack Train Master (Tel Kay) and the Magicians Lodge in Flight's Guard Master (Imatz). The heavies are the Lodge Masters (two of them, and they hate).<br /><br />Job-hunting continues, and it has killed writing for the last two months.<br /><br />I'm looking more at contract positions. There is one needing a custom resume tomorrow.<br /><br />I noted one oddity in the back cover blurb. There is an extra 'the' in, "In the middle of all the screeching and 'the' ensuing chaos." I'd have cut it. <br /><br />Right now, I am grinding out another 20 Kwords out of the 119 Kword HJ. The Katy Writers want me to re-insert the camp transit scene (yes), change Bestman's name (not now), and dump the transcription of his accent (yes - it has become too much of a bother!) and otherwise generally tighten the first three chapters. <br /><br />Yours<br /><br />Ed BuchanIronwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916734293964303034noreply@blogger.com
