"Other things that happen" sap writing energy.  When life gets busy, too busy to live it properly, creativity dives. I will recover and post more soon. Till ... http://robynswriting.com/writers-block/ for all of you who seemed to miss it first time around.  I'll take both Chapters 36 and 37 down when the next one goes up. http://robynswriting.com/whispers-chapter-36-re-posted/ Hopefully now that the long stretch of birthdays, Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year, and the collective fuss that goes with it is over, I will get back to some serious writing and revising. http://robynswriting.com/back-to-serious-writing/ I know a while back I tossed out the idea of maybe working Whispers as a single POV novel, 3rd person, tight. All about Kalea to start with. I'm vacillating now. If I can't write about a character in such a way that makes people want to read about them, then there's ... http://robynswriting.com/to-multiple-pov-or-not/ Chapter 37, a small chapter about Jala and Shebra is now posted.  If you've registered you should be easily able to access it.

Writing Goals for 2009 Finish 'Whispers' and ... http://robynswriting.com/a-belated-happy-new-year-2009/ I'm toying with a new idea for 'Whispers'.  Currently the story is told from four main POVs, with a few sections told from a minor character's POV. It's a challenging style to pull off successfully. George R. R. Martin does, Robert Jordan did, Steven King does, just to name a few. But ... http://robynswriting.com/idea-for-structure-of-whispers/ Dredd tricked her. After one jug of wine, she agreed to go. :-P http://robynswriting.com/kalea-is-going/ KALEA IS BEING STUBBON AND PRISSY. I don't know what's come over her. She's supposed to cooperate with Dredd and go for the meeting at Lobar and meet up with Jala, but so far she's just plain refusing!  I'm going to write more tonight, and see if she comes around. Ugh!  ... http://robynswriting.com/chapter-37-progress/ Perhaps it will be ready to upload by the end of the weekend. Hard to say, we're very busy with Christmas this and Christmas that. But I will see what I can do. It's coming along nicely. No new twists, just grappling with getting Kalea to a meeting Jala is holding ... http://robynswriting.com/chapter-37-coming-along-nicely/
