The Cottage of Blog

Good morning from the Cottage of Blog where the fare this morning is a boiled egg, English muffin and coffee.

I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next four days. Tomorrow, friends. Dear friends, close friends. Three human and six collies. I'm making a mandarin mousse salad and bringing the Hawaiin bread and spinich dip. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's delicious. The sweetness of the bread brings out the best in the dip.

I worked on categorizing my WIP last night. Ten blocks, each block with a name. Very much like the chapter books we read as kids.
1. New friends-old enemies. Things like that. one interesting observation, I was able to distinguish ten points fairly quickly, and each point moved the plot into a new direction. I've been writing in sections, according to Marshall, but need to put all of those sections into one file. Now I have old material mixed in with new, and rewritten in another file. Now, even I know that does not work.

50 sections huh? Marshall advocates 80 for a 400 page (or 100,000 word novel) I'm aiming for 80000.

Voice: I'd dearly love to writine for Intrigue or IM. Yes, I've read dozens and dozens, have over 100 on my shelves. But, I'm not sure my voice will ever be quite right for these lines. I was so hoping-- But, I don't think you can be what you're not. At least that's how I see it, at the moment.

Well all, have a nice day, reading, writing and revising from
