Somehow, we have started to take things a bit more seriously than we had expected. Originally inspired by reports of people knocking out e-books in just a few months, and amazingly also becoming very successful in the process. We thought we could do the same, maybe even better given our timeframe. Our mutual friend looked dubious and said we probably couldn’t and so… here we are.
Yet, it has now become clear that we actually do want to write something semi-decent that we and our friends are not totally ashamed of.
Discussing plot lines is a strangely focused process but we are having trouble envisioning other characters. However, today a random lady in her 50’s passed us by with bright red hair, wearing a fedora hat and an eye patch… A and I looked at each other and didn’t need to say anything. She will now be the basis for one of our central characters.
Convention update:
I have decided to attend a day of the convention – filling in the application tonight. A is still to decide… I don’t blame her, the form is pretty confusing:
“Apocryphals/Toys/Beeblebears only need a badge name and a membership type.”
….? I hope they let us in.
Filk, by the way, is a musical culture, genre, and community tied to scinece fiction/fantasy fandom. Who knew!? Just think, this time next year we’ll know all the lingo.
