Unmagicked silliness

raefinlayI wrote a 900-word synopsis for Unmagicked this weekend. Well, the first volume, that is. *headdesk* When I started writing U, I envisioned a trilogy, cuz, yanno, trilogies are Teh Thing. But reality set in and I realized I don't have quite enough story for a trilogy. Unfortunately, I have way tooo much story for a single volume. So, it looks like a 2-book arc, which will probably not win agents and publishers. But it feels right for the story. *shrug*
Or maybe I should just finish this thing before worrying about all that market-y stuff.
But writing a synopsis was good. Painful, but good. I highly recommend it.
Sent "First Waltz" to market #3, sent "Lightbender" to market #1. Three stories on the rejection circuit!! *happy dance*
And I watched lots of Buffy. Some of the early eps are Not Good, but the Whedon-written ones are generally brilliant. I watched them all with "story" in mind: plot, tension, character growth...and I learned, learned, learned.
Now, back to writing...
Oh, and NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN! Wow, I really missed LJ. Didn't realize what an addict I've become. *waves to flist*

So dude. When do we get to see this synopsis. I mean I've already kicked your ass and all that in the race (although, technically, mine isn't below 900 words, so I guess I'm still not done with it). But let me read the darn synopsis already!!!

And dude, Buffy rules. So does Firefly. Have you seen Firefly? It's a GREAT study for writers.

Dude. I'm not watching Firefly either! It is like people get brainwashed when they watch those shows. I saw the pilot episode for Firefly and thought it SUCKED!!! And no one, NO ONE, is going to convince me otherwise. Not all of you online people. Not the friends that pester me about it. Not Taekwon-do students who insist upon telling me I have to buy the DVDs because I'll love it.
I am obstinate dammit!!!! I saw the first episode. I hated it. Do I need to know any more...
:P
Seriously, however, many, many people keep telling me about it.
