And the re-release of Silky, with two more novels in the series to follow, is going to be a lot of fun!
"Exciting, complex and richly textured, with a world you'll believe
and a protagonist you have to cheer for -- Silky is wonderful." Holly Lisle
(Quote from original 1998 Embiid Publishing release.)
This is an edited and slightly updated version of Silky, released in preparation for the never-before-released second and third books in the series. I've been editing and writing, and enjoying the work. The third Silky book brought an unexpected surprise in the story line, and one that I'm having a great deal of fun exploring. The notes are starting to get a bit messy and I may have to sort them out before I go much farther in the story. I love the surprises like this one.
And that reminds me of something. I often see people say that outlines kill their creativity. For me, it's just the opposite, especially with a 'light' outline (a line or two per chapter or scene). Once I have the basics of the story down and I no longer have to worry about how the big pieces fit together, I find that my mind opens for all the extra things that make a story so interesting.
In the world of real life -- whatever that might be -- the weather has gotten better (as long as we ignore that mention of snowflakes possible next Friday). I'm waiting for it to hit 60 again before I go out and mow the lawn, though. It's just too cold still, and I've been fighting miserable colds all winter, so I'm not going to take a chance at getting another one. Two of my cats have colds. It's been that kind of spring.
