My Books!

[ismenin]

Here, dear friends, are my books, as promised! Not quite perfect, because I did not tell Roberto one or two things that needed sorting, but even Richie - stern critic as he can be - said they were 'great!', and, next time, I'll know better.
It'll be ages before Egypt is ready. All that html to convert, and bits to re-arrange. But I'm sure it'll be worth it. I hope so, anyway.

Two more pics inside, and me waffling on about ways I write - again. Do feel free to skip! :D












I hope you think they are as nice as I do!


I was thinking, last night, of the other way I manage my writings, which, oddly enough, is the same way as ladysunrope does hers. I dream them. I started writing Egypt after I had a dream in which I was Pharaoh, of Egypt, and, yes, I was a man, with all the tackle, and two wives and children - make of that what you will! Grins.

I was bothered for days after it, because I had ordered a man put to death for laughing at me. I put it in my story. Knefer-Lijedefer, of course, had no qualms about doing so.
That story, and Inca, were revealed to me in glorious Technicolor details. Not all of them are, of course, but the epic ones seem to be, and take on a life beyond my managing. But it doesn't mean I don't sometimes change small bits from what I see. My prerogative!

My wonderful beta, LSR, tells me she can always divine when I have dreamt a particular part, because I tend to put in every detail. I have tried not to do it, but it doesn't work - not with parts I have dreamt. So I have to leave it to her to take out the "walking over to the chair, moving it two inches to the left, sitting down, and re-arranging his skirt". Sigh. Lij in a white pleated kilt, with his hair hanging nearly down to his knees, is something to see, I tells ya! (No shaved heards or fleas, in my AR Egypt.)

Anyway, off for my mid-morning snooze, and to read for a little while. Bye for now!

Any dream of Elijah would be good for me...! What cheeses did you choose?

Btw, one of our three gerbils, little Rosie, the brown one with white markings, suddenly became ill and died this morning. Chris noticed when he first got up and after his shower went to pick her up, but she was gasping for breath and just died. Gerbils go downhill so quickly.

I am sorry about little Rosie, my love. Bless. Gerbils do not live long, it is true. I had Praxiteles and Agamemmnon about two years, which was quite good going.

Cheese was brie and some garlicky stuff. I could smell it, it was so strong! Smooches xxxx

Two years is about the average for our gerbils. Poor little Rosie wasn't with us for long, but she had her own personality and gave us lots of pleasure. I think her life was happy with us.

I'm not surprised you could smell that cheese!
