Pirates

[jacey]

Must start thinking about the magic pirate adventure quest novel again. I'm 78,000 words into the first draft  and I probably only need about 10,000 words to finish it off. I can do that in a day or two, no problem... except I got diverted by a rewrite of 'The Settlement' (working title) and it's sucking my brain out through my arse. What I thought would be a fairly simple alteration sparked off a new ending and...

I'm not actually sure I'm going to end up with a better book, just a different one.

So, back to pirates. Here's a bit of fun.

Ah, but...

It's your fault I haven't finished it yet because in nagging me about Cora you diverted my attention from Elf-Oak.
:-)
Okay... maybe not quite your fault, but following on from our discussion about cool techy neural implants... the change from natural telepathy to psi-tech actually didn't seem to be a big one at first, however by the time I got about 80% of the way through the alterations the ripples had oscillated into a veritable tsunami and I'm having to completely rewrite the ending.

This is actually not a Bad Thing, but it does mean my little pirate fetish is waving her pistols at me for nothing at the moment. I don't want to leave Cora half done.

And thanks for the TWP reminder, but I think I'm going to drop out. I don't feel to have much of a connection with fandom in general and I manage to keep up with you and bluehairsue better on Live Journal. I suppose I'd better let someone know.
