Dam...you know how regencies have these great names. Dameral Liancourt, who turned into Tris Stalling--his whole name is Tristan Liancourt Stalling. I guess my people never leave, they just sort of morph. And his best friend, Ryelander who turned into Rapahel Caravagggio.<BR/><BR/>I did the re-write thing too, it must be an old suggestion, because I did it when I was going through my western phase. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-9539439626959022342008-04-22T13:33:00.000-07:002008-04-22T13:33:00.000-07:00I have nothing to say, really, just thought I'd le...I have nothing to say, really, just thought I'd let you know I was here and nodded and sighed and wondered. Well, maybe I sighed first, then nodded.<BR/><BR/>(Sorry. Please don't expect me to make sense today.)<BR/><BR/>When I first started writing, I tried a Nancy Drew style. I really sucked at it, too. Then I tried V.C. Andrews (remember her?) and was pretty good at that. And then! Then I tried historicals. Well, ONE. It wasn't very original, but I was going off the idea of trying to REwrite a historical. Not sure where I saw that suggestion, but the idea was to study construction and plot.<BR/><BR/>I didn't try and spymance until I was comfy writing La Femme Nikita fan fiction.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, guess I had something to say after all.<BR/><BR/>Love the writerly posts!<BR/><BR/>(Dameral?)Unhingedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299084905191628448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-48140769468368073082008-04-22T12:11:00.000-07:002008-04-22T12:11:00.000-07:00lol, I am a lazy person, Alice.

You know, siege of Badajoz, prison, missing letters, runaway heiresses and evil villains--good guy turning into a jerk to protect himself. Hmm...it sounds like my StallingCo stuff. But yeah--I really liked Dameral, shoulder length red hair, scars and all, and his side kick Ryelander. I dunno. Maybe when I've done all I can do with DalCon and finish out Open Grave. I've been pushing to get DG done, and I've finally got momentum.<BR/><BR/>There's still a lot to explore in Regency historicals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-33360102716910897942008-04-22T09:03:00.000-07:002008-04-22T09:03:00.000-07:00It isn't that hard to bounce from RS to Historical...It isn't that hard to bounce from RS to Historical.

Believe me. There's a little street in Singapore where someone just opened up a skeevy dive...I'm thinking male strippers in g-strings, cosmetically enhanced waitresses, and a sound system belting out "Great Balls of Fire". :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-37556979767403418322008-04-21T21:40:00.000-07:002008-04-21T21:40:00.000-07:00You need to have a drink at LavaBalls, woman.You need to have a drink at LavaBalls, woman.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-60790150916313456792008-04-21T20:49:00.000-07:002008-04-21T20:49:00.000-07:00Yay for the desk and space of your own!

Then I did some research and figured out, duh, there are many different time periods. So now I stick to contemporary and make up whatever I want to with my paranormals. lolTraci Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505251789911290463noreply@blogger.com
