The Cottage of Blog

The Cottage of Blog

Hi all from The Cottage of Blog,

I'm tired today. Tired, depressed and unhappy. that state I will not allow to last past today. If I want to wallow I will allow myself to grieve and that is all. It's time for a new beginning. Springtime in January.

I never want another week like this one.

Will I ellaborate? No. I don't think so.

Today I decided to write some smut. As my small way to rebel against the dictates of society. I'll allow one day to write the draft. Then see if it's something that I might consider publishing. I seriously doubt it. But it might relax me enough and help me find something more creative for the love scene in my novel.

On the other hand -- Anne Rice started out her novel writing, writing erotica. You can find evidence of that in her novels. She makes the sucking of blood into a real great orgasmic experience. Wow.

In my mind's eye, I'm looking over Lake nager and that restaurant you see in the last post. They're getting ready for a Fourth of July Holiday Celebration, today.
The kids from the Nager High School are putting together a float decorted from American Flags. Is that legal? It looks beautiful. there will be a Miss Teenage Nager, who will wear a bathing suit of red, white and blue. Her and her "court" will be watching the fireworks display from their float. I think a party will be held over at the Campbell Inn. but that might be later in the week. Probably a barbeque. I love barbeque's. I'll proably go.

There's some guy who's been looking out his window with a telescope. Must be a bird watcher. There's plenty of species in these upper Wisconsin woods.

So,back to the writing. I'm focusing on plot simplicity today. And working in static trait. I read a wonderful article about static trait with great examples from Morgan Hawks website. She used "the Mummy" as an example. Each main character had a brialliant static traint. Evy with her books-the book of the dead being her downfall. her brother is a kleptomanic and what he steals is his downfall. Bernie's is greed. His greed leads him to get in league with the monster and ultimately his demise. the hero (whose name I can'tg remember) loves to fight. Anything, anybody, anytime. He becomes a pretty good lover to, because in the sequel he has a seven year old, precocious son. LOL Even the monster has a static trait. Love. It's what gets him mummified in the first place, when he falls for the king's concubine. Not a smart move.

So thank you Morgan for making that article available.
It was wonderful.

Take care, from The Cottage of Blog. I'm going to write a novel.

Good for you! A little rebellion is good for the soul. That's certainly how I started BD.

I just realize how many typos I had in there. Eeeew. If someone important ever read that, I'd be in serious professional career trouble. That is, if I had one.

thanks for reading this.
