In your mind, please place this admonition over all the blogs detailing
my work on the Six Brothers project.
For instance, everything I professed in yesterday’s post about voice
and style and “needless daisies” should be disregarded as hogwash.
I was wrong.
Oh, it was an honest mistake. I believed everything I was spouting and
was fully prepared to embark on the short, dramatic, punchy sentences…
But, then, I dared to have a peek at some of today’s bestselling historical
romance authors and found that needless daisies were in fact very much in
season.
Not groves and groves of them, but they were indeed spattered about
quite liberally.
After squeaking in utter glee, I spent the rest of the work day
defining all sorts of wonderfully exacting details for my characters.
It was delightful.
But it also meant I needed to hammer up the “Work in Progress” sign
first thing this morning.
That done and with apologies made and hopefully accepted, I leave you
to your Friday.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
