Being in a teasing mood
Sep. 3rd, 2005 06:03 pmWell I've been spending most of this far too hot Saturday either writing or reading. I'm happy to announce that I'm allowed to nitpick the Lady_J's book. It's so nice and I feel seriously wanted and privileged that I get to find any mistakes that someone or other might have missed. I'm also relieved that her work is entirely different from mine; I think it would have been more difficult if there was any similarity, but thankfully, my admittedly uncaring fear was unfounded. :-)
I've rediscovered a beautiful old German song. It is nice to listen to, but the words are most beautiful: You ask why I can live so contentedly with you / I like you because you are intelligent and tender / although those are not the only reasons / You always show me that it is possible to be entirely woman and yet free / Priest, teacher or small child / you can be all of those for me / Who is born as woman / One is made to be woman. With plenty of repeats to make it a good 3 minute long song :-) Zusammenleben by Milva just in case anyone is curious enough.
Since I've now written about 3600 words of the last chapter of 'Outcast' and am hoping to complete it over the next couple of days, I feel justified to offer a teaser ( behind the cut )
As to the next teaser, well, I've been having a conversation via e-mail with the Lady_J, sent her a little teaser of my original work, and she said she's intrigued. And figured the book is about witches. So I said, no it isn't. And she's not pressuring me or anything *snigger*, but wants to know more. And I know Aunt M is curious, too (hoping you got your eccletricity back, Aunt M!!!), and she's been encouraging more than anyone else with this biggest project, so... I figured I'd offer a little tease here, in public. For those who've asked: It will most likely be classified as "Fantasy", although I'd like to think of it more along the lines of an "Esoteric Thriller". Oh yeah, if anyone has any ideas as to the meaning of the name "Tracero", please do leave your comment or email me. ( OW Teaser )
