Lovely rainy day!
Thursday, November 04, 2004Today I continued the last scene. I realized that my main male protagonist was at the faire and needed a reason to be there, and so I switched to his perspective for a while. Had a lot of fun being Renaissance Faire bawdy, and wrote 3,368 words and two more book reviews. I'm reading To Light a Candle, the new Mercedes Lackey/James Mallory book, still, so I'm all "caught" up with my read books. I'll ruin it though by reading all the comics I've got at once though this week end. Anyway, with the scene I created, I now have scenes that need to be written before that, to support the scene. So if I get stuck, I'll go back and write those...otherwise, they'll wait for the second draft, since I know the structure, but not what actually happens. Today was exquisitely rainy...still is. There's nothing like writing to the sound of rain. Watched Regency House Party, as I mentioned earlier. I rather thought it would be an hour or so show with a group of people reenacting a Regency era party, discussing the whys and wherefore. It is...but it isn't. It's sort of like that, crossed with Big Brother and the Dating Game...five single men and women have been chosen from the normal world, the women all given chaperones, and send to this lovely house for nine weeks. There they live the Regency life, which, for women, was blasted boring. At feast the way they do it. I liked some of the things they did...they keep it real, they don't allow people to slip out of character or even cut people much slack. They all bathe in the same water according to rank, for example...the lowest ranking young woman bathed in water four other women had bathed in. Really cool things: I didn't know that the very rich people who had these huge estates actually hired people to live as hermits on their land! How cool! Seeing details like clothes and food. Could live without: The complaining. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 3:28 PM 0 comments |
