Saturday evening at a German Bier Stube
I think I just sent a picture of an Austrian bier stube and restaurant to my Cottage of Blog.
I lived in Germany and Switerland and visited Austria and France back in my former life as a singer. That's probably where I got the idea for a setting in Romania (that and the Dracula story) but I digress. I'm thinking Carpathian--Alps, Germany, Switzerland, Austria etc. Austria is a gorgeous country. It's been along time since I took out my old photo albums and toured in retrospect. This photo (if it made it onto the blog) was taken on the top of a mountain in Salzberg.
I got the idea for a setting in this new WIP. Not in the mountains necessarily, but set in a resort town settled by Germans. The local "watering hole" will be a German Bier Stube which promises to add great flavor and color to the story.
Bruce and I went to a Bier Stube for an Oktober Fest in a nearby town this evening. We sat outdoors in the middle of corn country, drank dark (dunkle) bier and had veal
sausages, red cabbage, German potatoe salad, beans, black bread and, best of all, warm apple strudle with whipped cream. Oh yum. I saved half of it for tomorrow. And, Bruce didn't want his other portion of apple strudle so I got that too. Tomorrow, Bier Stube part two--while I write. Maybe I'll work on the Bier Stube scene. Always fun to take a scene out of sequence.
I finished the first "Chapter" which is actually the first block according to Mr. Chris Vogler. (one of my craft idols) It is the ordinary world of three characters--hero who's only looking to get laid, heroine who's dodging her stalking ex and uses the hero, and the ex who's stalking his ex-wife (heroine) Some ordinary world, huh?
And boy don't they all get the surprise of their lives. At least that's what I'm planning for them. Yep. My more sadistic nature can come out now.
I'm going to go read a chapter in Swain again, then watch Mr. Jackman in Kate and Leopold. (sigh)
Everyone have a good evening.
Happy reading, writing and revising from
The Cottage of Blog.
