A day of parts

[rolanni]

Slept in, did some brainstorming with Steve, and worked some more on the Carousel Tides site, which  has had a very short character list and a sample chapter added to its charms, as well as a countdown-to-publication meter.  Feel free to go over and take a look, but do remember that it’s a work in progress.

I’m getting ready to knock off for the evening, feeling very much as if I’ve had a lovely, productive weekend, where I learned some new things and wasn’t rushed or harried, so — a success.

Tomorrow, so I hear, is Monday.  Too bad about that.

Oooo, site much improved. And now it starts to become enticing...

The "Geographies" tab is a brilliant idea. I'm hoping it will be fleshed out a bit, just because I am a total slut for maps and Deep Background and such, but just having a tab for it already is an excellent indicator of what flavor of book we're looking at here.

I do hope you add an "About the Author" tab. Speaking personally, there are precious few authors I really want to know more about (I have found that they -- like every other type of human being -- are as likely to disappoint as inspire*) but I seem to be in a tiny minority in this.

*Let me hasten to add that present company is very much excepted. There are only a tiny handful of author blogs I follow, even among authors whose writings I love. But those few do manage to present themselves as such genuinely interesting and nice people that I actually *do* want to read about their writing techniques. And political opinions. And lunch plans. And cats.

Yeah, this is definitely going to be a long work, with things added in as I have time. I need to add "About the Author" to the list of pages to be made/info to be added. Keep forgetting that. I'm not the interesting one, Kate is :)
