Learning from My Reading: Out of all the books I bought over the Christmas holiday, I find myself reading Victoria Hanley's Violet Wings. She uses an interesting structure of quoting a "genie historian" to fill in the back story of how fairy magic works. Sometimes I kept it straight. Sometimes I didn't and had to go back and check.
Found it interesting since I used a similar device for Demons. Only I gave clues to what the demons were plotting in the form of letters to the demon prince. Wish I could say great minds travel in the same circles. My using the structure was just beginner's luck.
Progress: Started revising Emma. No longer feel good about it. Spent almost an hour on chapter 3 going over the same paragraphs until my head felt like a ping pong ball.
Maren. Plan to start working on the characters tonight. Nothing is on TV I want to watch so I might even get something done.
Trivia: Company's gone. Feels good to be writing again rather than talking.
Hippy, Hippy New Years
