Writer's Diary

Tuesday, June 15, 2004

OK. 79.5K Am doing a paper read-through. No word from jenn c which means it sucks? Uh oh. Anyway, things going OK. Am anxious to get material out to agents, but would like to hear from jc first. Reading a lot. Read some truly wretched short short historical romances. One was good, but the author is famous and talented. The rest, well, I eventually gave up slogging through them. Interestingly, these had basically no hot scenes, and it occured to me that 3 or 4 trad Regencies packaged together would have been much better reading than most of these stories and they wouldn't have had egregious boners of fact and vocabulary. Just because you dress your contemp heroine in a Empire style gown and give your hero a cravat does NOT mean you wrote a Regency. Rant over.
