Treadmill and meditation with a side of writing this morning. Lunch and holiday shopping with Jon and our daughter, Trinity, with a side of office supplies to help me organize the end of A Shiver of Light.

This is a complex plot bringing together plot threads from nearly all the previous Merry Gentry novels. It's so complex that I have actually purchased a presentation easel and white board for my office. I use to use walls, but all my walls are already covered in sticky notes. I need clear space, so . . . a white board and notes to put in order, and dry erase markers, and . . . the end game is long and needs choreography and a map.

A RL friend of mine does that. She also uses post its, cork boards, and tacks.

I used butcher paper taped to the walls for lots of classroom activities, including teaching outlining & timelines.

Different strokes for different folks, you know?

And if you leave something on a dry erase board long enough, the ink actually ceases to be smudge-able by fingers and you have to use the special board cleanser to get it off.

I know re: the dry erase board and stuff sticking. So does LKH plan to get another dry erase board for each book?

We're not talking about classroom activities. Nor are we talking about any writer but LKH. Her method is completely broken, as proven by her books being completely broken.

She has a method? I honestly thought she just made things up as she went along. (And thus the height issues.)

....Also, I grinned at the mental image of LKH with a whiteboard for each book. It's unkind of me but still true.

Doesn't she have a really big office? I wonder how long it would take until she filled it up.
