lkh_lashoutsAh, the occasionally quarterly nuggets of wisdom. *L* Newsletter excerpts in italics; yours truly in plain jane text.
Mistral's Kiss. Release 12/12/2006. What a perfect Christmas Gift. And it fits! Merry for Christmas.
Pretentious much? And given her seeming subscription to every religion under the sun and moon, I'm surprised it didn't say "What a perfect Christmas/Yule/Hanukkah/Ramadan/Kwanzaa/Tuesday Gift."
We will finally have sex with Sholto, King of the Sluagh. [ETA: I typoed "sluagh". Sorry, gang.]
Wow! Did you know we get to have sex, guys? Group sex! There's enough tentacles for everybody!
Merry is being [sic] to feel a bit like a pawn of the Goddess!
If you substitute "LKH" for "Goddess"? Yup.
FYI: The [Guilty Pleasures comic book] adaptation will also be published in two graphic novel volumes, available respectively by December 2006 and Spring 2007.
I have surrounded myself with people that would probably pop me upside the head if I got too carried away with my own success. In fact, everyone here doesn't think I enjoy my success enough.
Buh. *flails uselessly* To channel my inner Ent, "There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery." [pp]
Micah, the character, came out of the end of my first marriage. It would take me years and books to figure this out. He is not now, nor has he ever been based on my husband Jon. Sorry, but he's not.
Riiiiight.
One of my friends who often sees things about me that I don't said, 'Micah is a walking, yes.'" [ETA: That grievous comma error, however, is all her.]
He's a walking, talking, fucking yes. He might as well have that tattooed on his forehead. Or maybe he should get his McDonald's employee tag redone: "Hello, my name is YES. May I take your order?"
Micah was originally supposed to be a bad guy, and we were not supposed to date him let alone have sex with him.... Having sex with Micah the first time Anita meets him was as much a surprise to me as to anyone else."
Those who have read my original writings know that I should be the last person bitching about plots that get away from a writer, but... sweet zombie Jesus, there is an editing process. A revision process. A re-vision process. Those are the times when an author should say to him- or herself, "Huh? Where did that come from?"
The second hardest thing was not to get distracted by other plotlines. I'm so use [sic] to juggling a complicated plot that my imagination kept trying to find things to add.
Don't you have to have a plot before you can have a complicated plot? I'm very guilty of constantly adding things, but again, there's a reason—well, many reasons—I don't have a novel published: I want to fix it before I send it out into the world. If she were adding things that weren't based in sex or new powers for Anita, it wouldn't be so bad, but that seems to be all the ammunition she has these days.

Date: 2006-04-22 06:21 am (UTC)There you have it. She now only thinks of her plot as who "she" is going to have sex with next...
"and we were not supposed to date him let alone have sex with him.... "
"we"...eh, to each their own, but it's time to take a step back from your characters, hunny.
"One of my friends who often sees things about me that I don't..."
Ok, change that to one of my friends and all of my readers and that would be more accurate...
"Micah, the character, came out of the end of my first marriage. It would take me years and books to figure this out. He is not now, nor has he ever been based on my husband Jon. Sorry, but he's not."
we have to make sure everyone knows that Micah is a character now? And, my ass. You need that friend to tell you that, not only has Anita found her YES man, but so have you. He was the head of her fan club...how much more YES do you need to get?!
