    I got up at six something and could not fall back asleep.

    Getting toward midnight and bedtime here, no moon and no stars make for a dull sky :)

    Waking up now - 2 large coffees, a milkie, and 2 jalapeno cheddar biscuits with sausage! :bug: :bug: :bug:

    Coldish outside, maybe 58F.. made for a chilly walk. Will need to buy a hoodie soon!

    Time to fire up Scrivener...! :)

    I hear music. Can you hear music?

    No music, just a lawn mower.

    As a spiritual experimental avangarde conceptual artist one recognizes that all sound, and even periodic lack of sound, could be recognized as music, so the lawn mower definetly suffices (as I ones explained to someone who I startled by me violently blowing my nose, pointing out that high art should make an impression), the only exeption I could make is this noise I ones in a while hear from the hitparade, that definately is no music !!!! :coolgrin:

    had another rough day explaining elderly relatives on how to use the new computer. They keep interrupting me and changing the subject. Let me finish my instructions! Then they say "don't talk back to me, I'll do it my way" when I try to correct them. Do they want help using the computer or not? How did they learn in school or college with this attitude??

    sorry, had to rant while it is raining outside. Can't go to city to look at the river and take photos for my backgrounds.

    whazz up? :)


    whose, thou, thouest, thine, ye - need to sort out some pronoun confusion.

    i think, thine = your. going by the phrase 'avert not thine eyes.
    thou = you? thouest?
    whose?
    but, ye also = you 'hear ye hear ye'


    doth mother know you weareth her drapes :lol:

    maybe theres a trope page on rennfaire speak

    Appropriate character names are tough. For general side characters, it's easy - I have a book of baby names I bought and I pick a few at random. For fantasy names I go to foreign names, they can sound exotic and still have meaning.

    Hero characters, though.. who ever heard of an evil villain called Bob or George? :blank:

    At least the Night Wings heroine is Rachel DeLacroix, so no more occult porn novella (lol)! :bug:

    More free sammiches and pickles.. omg.. skipping dinner tonight..!

    ps. puppy smoochies nice, so are puppy huggles! :)


    ...in the first Batman film (with Michale Keaton & Jack Nicholson) the Joker's lead henchman as named "Bob".


    I agree, good names are tough, especially when you need a lot of ethnic names like I do for my story. I am constantly hitting the Croatian, Serbian, Polish, and Russian name sites for ones that are legitimate, while at the same time not sounding "cliche'".

    "Bob"... lol.. forgot that! :lol:

    Well, if 'Bob' the Spirit of Intellect ever ends up in the wrong hands, he'd make a pretty nasty villain.


    not to mention a village sammich maker :)

    it's been so long i'm forgetting their names. ford prefect, denton something, marvin

    lazy, yep. all gray out.

    have you tried putting a movie on for background ambience?

    i've started up underworld for the 4th time this week. feeling a growing sympathy for the Craven character. after seeing how victor turns out, i don't think craven in charge would be so bad. he's fashionable for one.

    What's the typical income from a book? Do they get so much per copy sold?

    they give an advance on royalties at first. the writer's market lists typical advances per publisher. agent would get 10-15%.

    selling through createspace, they give monthly royalty payments, no advance obviously.

    royalties - income tax >.<</p>

    Fiance and I are playing Minecraft and he was building a tunnel to go from one base to another. He needed to orient himself to the second base and had made a stone column looking over the hill. He asked me to peek on his screen to see if he was in the right area for the second base, where I was at, shearing sheep to make carpets. Then I saw a creeper on a hill, so I took my bow out to shoot it, hit it twice and then the third shot missed. Next thing I see is "Bantaro has fallen from a high place"

    I had just shot my Fiance off his stone pillar. I couldn't even see him when I made my shots.

    Is it bad that I can't stop laughing :red:

    Morning. Bright sun today warm as a loving gift painting city roof and road tower sparkling gold - "with delight" someone wrote - W Shakespeare?

    eta oh yes W.s.

    When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
    And merry larks are plowmen’s clocks,
    When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
    And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
    The cuckoo then, on every tree,
    Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
    Cuckoo;
    Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
    Unpleasing to a married ear!

    tho don't think there are any shepherds around these parts. Or cuckoos.
