Back into the rewrites.

[la_marquise]

Grass King now has a whole new first chapter and the next one is revised as per Nice Editor's suggestions. I have to admit that I enjoy being back with this book. The book-in-progress is always the worst, seemingly.

First new line of the day: They were twin sisters, long-bodied and lithe, and, sadly, pungent.
(Luckily for me, the ferret women see no problem at all with their smell. Or with people knowing about it.)

Skirt of the day: tweed. (Brown tweed, sadly. I am not fond of brown. But it's a nice skirt, and it's warm.)

Sometimes a warm skirt makes all the difference.

Can't wait to see Grass King in print :)

From your mouth to Nice Editor's ear. I hope they like it.

Thank you. You can't imagine how much your support means to me.

ooooh oooh, ferret sisters. /love

I do rather love them myself. I suspect that their absence is one reason why the bl**dy Celtic book is less fun to write.

Hooray! for progress!

Thank you. I need to get up to your current word rate, though.

Brown has it's place - where would steampunk be without it?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I hadn't thought of that!

I love the first line - I want more! :-)

[And I am a big fan of brown. Great colour. My favourite skirt is brown, my mum made it when I was about 20, and its still going strong 10 years later!]

Thank you.
I had a brown school uniform, which has rather put me off it, but I often admire how nice other people look in it.

I love the ferret sisters. I'm looking forward to reading the completed novel.

If you'd like to see the current final draft, I can send it. I'm rewriting the opening at present, and there are changes, but the overall shape will be the same.

[klwilliams.livejournal.com]

Yes, please!
