That is a good idea. It can be invigorating to sit and write in the company of other writers. Especially if there are cookies involved (and there certainly should be). I hope you've signed up for Nano this year! You’re right! That is a good idea. It can be invigorating to sit and write in the company of other writers.

I rarely write a book out of sequence, but I've heard it can be useful to write the "best stuff" (or at least the stuff that you're most excited about) first. I'll let you know how it goes!

One idea would be, if you have a rough outline of the plot, to just jump ahead to a later scene, and come back to the gap later on. That way you don't abandon the work, but you also don't write complete trash. generally when I hit a wall during NaNo I just push through it – but then again, i’m not necessarily going for quality during November.

]]> Comment on no, I don’t drink blood or bathe in it, really… by Frank, http://alisamlibby.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/no-i-dont-drink-blood-or-bathe-in-it-really/#comment-364 Frank, Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:56:42 +0000 http://alisamlibby.wordpress.com/?p=536#comment-364 I've been writting now for quite some time and when i find myslef creating a character for a short story i tend to pull from what i see in the real and world(For exemple one of my shorts called twisted aesthetics is based off this girl on saw on the bus one day; she had elongated canines and everytime she'd open her mouth, I would always try to peek and see if the were real or fake(duh, they were fake...But you never know.) I then asked myself how far would we go? To waht point would our culture allow such physical changes? lets just say that, in my short, it goes far) On the other hand, many of the characters that i create seem to be personifications of characteristics that i would love to have. Brave, Strong, Worthy, Secure, they seem to reflect who i want to be as a whole. Then again, i also like to write about people who take for virtue what we take for vice. Its fun to inverse culture and stipulate about how it would fonction and what kind of people would exist in it. Anyways, i ranted. I dont know if this answers your question.

My sister and I also had fun trying to translate the latin on some things, but we generally didn't remember what half the words meant, so it was pretty unsuccessful. I've been meaning to get back there, but haven't done it yet. And as for The Strand - I've been meaning to get there for years. This may have just made it a priority for my next trip. ^_^ I visited the Cloisters a couple years ago and was so sad I didn’t have more time to spend there.

I'll definitely check out Legacy - and I hope you read Margaret George. Her book about King Henry is simply marvelous. Thank you for commenting!
