Reading Journal

I just finished "The Crucible."

I wish I had more to say about that.

 Next book will be "Of Thee I Zing,' ©2011

I joined a discussion group on goodreads to help me get back into talking about books rather than just of them. I'm hoping to also get some perspective to aid in writing "The Victorians," possibly with my roommate.

Writing Journal

Whoops, I did-it-a-gain....

I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo.
Essentially the same thing, but in April instead of November.

This round, I'm aiming for a script (or series of scripts) drawing inspiration from Jane Austen and SNL's "The Californian's."
"Mr. Darcy!  What are yeeewww doing here?!"

Which means I'll be spending March doing research. 
Watching/reading Austen (as my recipe permits)
Watching The Californian's
Learning the geography of Austen's England.

As you can guess, I haven't touched "Family Lies" since I finished the draft.  Not true; I think I have once or twice.  I just don't think there was enough life in the plot.
Hopefully I can turn that around at Camp NaNo.

First up: deciding which scenes I want to rewrite, taken mostly from P&P and S&S. 
Elizabeth and Darcy's unexpected meeting at Pemberley
Lucy, Elinor, and Edward's first scene together.  (I may take some creative liberty and have the secret outed here.)
