Writing misc
While trying to organize my study again (and again and again and again--it is the Augean Stables of my house) I found a notepad with the following written on it:

New Story!  (note the exclamation point.  I was, apparently, excited about it.)

Start w/aftermath:  When the hotel failed to be devoured by a nightmare-headed god-thing, there

And THAT'S IT!  

There's a note beneath that about curious maids versus incurious maids.  I have no idea if that belongs to the story or not.  I presume yes, since the word hotel appears above it, but I have zerozipzilch memory of this. 

Ugh, writer head.  Other things in the notepad tell me I was in Gainesville at the time, in a hotel at the time.  And I remember there was a maid of extreme personality who cleaned my room.  Obviously some sort of inspiration, but for what?  Sigh. 

I think I will just crumple it up and pretend I never saw it.

I have a selection of post-its and scraps of paper very like that. Mostly incomprehensible. As you say, writer-mind.
Hi, btw, I'm Kari. I loved Maledicte (your agent very kindly gave me a copy).

Oh, don't even get me started on the post-it notes of doom. And back at you; Living with Ghosts is a great book!

Funny, I just cracked open the covers on Maledicte AND Living With Ghosts this weekend. I like your abandoned note, heh. I've got one lying around that says "make bard and minstrel have slapfight" but I don't know what the hell I was talking about because I have neither bards nor minstrels.

I wonder if all the scraps we create and abandon could be put together to create the ultimate gestalt novel. . . . Got to be better than a million monkeys and their keyboards, right?

Hope you enjoy both books!

That would be awesome! Because this particular image is really interesting!

PS: Will you be at this summer's Campbell Conference? Because we'd like to make sure the Oread Bookstore has books for the signing for the authors who'll be present!
