Subject: the reason for silence
In reply to: Esther 's message, "Okay, a multi purpose post" on 15:15:22 06/30/09 Tue

first of all, i'm sorry i can't be here so often. i'm less than 3 weeks away from Scotland and the Outlander/Gathering Tour and an extended tour of England so i really can't think of anything but the last details of my journey.

then, i have to say that the writing projects seem great, though i can't really get more involved with them right now. i could finish Heights of Abraham in time, but it would not be fair, because there's only a tiny little bit of one chapter to write, and i even know what i mean to write for that part [Ashton asks Bryony to move in with him and she says no], but i really have no mind for it right now. i've been receiving more than good critique from family and friends [as "beta readers"], for what that's worth, and i may consider publishing a bilingual version [already written]. but only after i come back.

one of the exciting things about this journey is i'll finally meet DG, she's been invited to speak at the Gathering. i guess i'm back to the "intake phase" and i'm sure i'll come back fully replenished with inspiration.

to my dear companions of the sisterhood of the quill, i bid you farewell and adieu!

You lucky thing, getting to go to Scotland and meet Herself! I'm green with envy here!

I will be one of the first in line to buy my copy of Heights of Abraham, dea, and am so proud of you!

Do come back when you can!

Hugs,

My motto when it comes to literature is "Writing Is Great, But Life Is Better!"

What would we write about if we didn't get out a live a little? Don't stress about "missing" anything here. Read at your leisure or not at all. Homeworks are by no means required. Heck, even I didn't do them for a while there.

I suppose what I mean is, have a freaking awesome time in England, take a stupidly large amount of photos, and send Herself a greeting from the Lallybroch Literary Forum gals!

Especially in light of a trip like you have planned! No wonder you're in 'lurk' mode. *G* I'd be too! I've met Herself on a couple of occasions, and a more gracious lady you will never meet.

Oh and never apologize for being absent. Life does go on outside these boards, we all understand that, and you know what? The board will be here when you are ready to come back.

As for the writing gig, well...you've already accomplished what I have not. Only a tiny little bit of once chapter to write? I wish! Kudos to you!

Have a great trip dea! And remember to have someone take your picture when you get Herself to sign her book.


Hugs

Esther

I envy you your trip. Recharge, decompress and come back ready to go! Leaving it alone is a good way to let your characters speak to you again, on their own terms. And it's always better that way, than trying to make them fit the mold you're trying to force them int. Just like real people, they're resistant to that sort of thing.
