Sunday from the Cottage of Blog
Sorry no coffee this afternoon. I'm still exhausted from the driving. I used to be able to make it to NY (way out on Long Island) in one trip.) Now--I'm exhausted with 2 legs.
But, I've made a decision on a second project. I started it last year and am pulling out the scenes from the chapters. When finished, I'll figure out what belongs and what doesn't. It's yet another major undertaking. But, I like the way I wrote the prose. (yeah) So, what the heck? I think the premise and themes will work. There are a few details that might not be credible. For instance, I think some of the setting will have to change from a church to a university. Although, I really don't want it to.
Theme: Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see. That theme will thread through all aspects of the story. The premise: murdering for greed leads to ultimate self-destruction. That may change, but it's a start.
the name of the town is Campbell. Campbell means "Crooked Mouth" in the Scottish name dictionary. So, even the town's name is implicated in theme.
I'm working on some names too. Names that appear for certain characters that are misleading in the personalities they portray. Cassandra (prophetess that was not believed) and Cassie (pure) was ostracized from the community as a teenager for promiscuous behavior (which she did not do)
Janie's given an interesting assignment, one that I will tackle this afternoon. Ten facts about POV and how they're true? I'm picking out a favorite Joanna Wayne book and see if I can come up with the answers. I may even pick out facts from some of my work. That--no THAT would be interesting.
Happy reading, writing and revising from the Cottage of Blog.
