Writing Updatia
Dec. 13th, 2006 01:24 pmMacbeth-on-a-pirate-ship (early excerpt) is currently at 11,296 words. Only one new scene, plus a few tweaks here and there. Refined Detective Jilkey's memories of a homicidal maniac. Of course, it isn't really a retelling of Macbeth, and tonights work has left me only one scene closer to Lady MacBathory's revealing scene, but I'm still seven scenes away from that.
I'm thinking about starting to post bits and pieces, filtered to those who want to read it and help with the editing. If you're interested, let me know here, as well as what level of feedback/editing/research you will be providing. I'll pick a few of you to get a good range of opinions, and will post a "Welcome Aboard!" filtered intro as a test post of sorts.
Some time after that, I'll start posting the story bit by bit - probably a snippet a day until I'm caught up. If minor stuff comes up, I may go and make changes, otherwise I'll wait until I get through the whole thing.
I'm actually going to set up the same sort of thing for both Full Moon Poetry (opening only) and Her Tears Tasted of the River Acheron (ditto) - not looking for more folk on those, or ready to handle the edits, but I'll add the folks who already have a copy (a couple of you either just had a special delivery from the stork, or are waiting for the stork to find your house, so a day or two leeway should be expected! =) and would love to see comments and so forth posted for those so I can get to editing once Pirate Mode begins to fade.
