No I don't .... I just kept forgetting my data stick with half a post on. I wish there were more involved but I am enjoying it...

Sorry, December means a busier season but count me in still. Will try to post something soon.
Nice work on the recent posts, too. I'll have to put some thought to this. *mad laughter* ![]()

I think Jessamy may be deceived by the lie of the land and perhaps a spur of the forest at its top edge (Barbara Strachey shows a bulge in the wood line and I will take the liberty of thinking maybe 80 years earlier it was greater...) or maybe her fears are realised and the old forest isn't such a fixed entity!
Jessamy has managed to land herself in my consciousness so clearly, dragging her family and backstory that I will have to write her story regardless.. at the moment I "know" more about what will happen when her family realise she isn't where she is supposed to be than about herself but I am getting a few ideas now between wolves and wights and wandering woods... ![]()

Ok sorry for the delay...I had the foolish idea of trying to make a few presents and I may have been too ambitious

I'm sorry it's been so long. Hope you're having good luck with those Christmas presents! I always love the idea of making gifts but am really the least crafty person. I can manage...cards? (I can't believe it's Christmas eve tomorrow!)
I admit completely that I am not paying much (any?) attention to geography...or realism...or avoiding cliches... I have posted nothing very exciting. But my new character may have heard Jessamy, and the dog may have heard/smelled her and is interested. Perhaps she could be familiar with him? I'm not really sure about Karl. He's from Bree, but I have him in my head as an oddball, old enough that he should be married but lives alone, no family connections that anyone knows of, etc. He ventures regularly into the Old Forest, he's got to be a bit of an odd duck. And of course he has the typical, loveable would-be hunting dog that's really just more interested in licking and cuddling with things. ![]() Leaving it open (the dog could run into someone completely new...! what better introduction than an also cliched spin on the ol' bump-into by chance someone important to the plot intro), and meanwhile trying to think of more interesting things/any sort of direction for this! (this is about to get longer than my RP post...) Thought - since it's nearly Christmas, maybe it should snow and we combine/transition into a spooky winter holiday? Do I sense a happy ending involving a snowball fight? ![]() Last edited by Durelin; 12-23-2009 at 07:36 PM. |
