It has come to my attention that I failed to mention it here when I posted my most recent recommendation to the website. I’m still behind, I’m afraid, but at least March’s is up now: Stardust, by Neil Gaiman. And I should be able to get back on track fairly soon.
Okay, so I’m still behind on recommendations (having not posted March’s yet), but whatever. I’m posting something else instead: the original first scene of Doppelganger, as I semi-promised when I hit the limit of how much text I can post as an excerpt. Go see the scene I wrote when I was seventeen, and then read the commentary at the end to find out why I eventually decided to remove it entirely.
In my busy-ness on Friday, I neglected to make any mention of the fact that I’d posted the next installment of my series of “My First Novel” essays, discussing the production process a book goes through. I’m up to five essays now; I figure there will probably be seven when I’m done (with the last two covering promotion and reviews), and possibly an “epilogue” essay about my second novel.
On a completely frivolous and unrelated note, I like this quiz result:
| Your Theme Song:
“The Sound of Silence”, Simon & Garfunkel |
It’s been one of my favorite songs since childhood.
