Fantasy writers
So. You think you’re a fantasy writer? See how you fare on the The Fantasy Novelist’s Exam. I’ll be interested to hear the results.

Over half done Quest edit
So, the 10-12 inches of snow turned into 6-8 inches of slush. Our driveway is still bad (yay for 4 wheel drive) but the main roads are bare, though temperatures hover at the black ice stage. Whew. Survived that storm. My cold is *nearly* gone. I hate the lingeringness… So. Quest to be Queen. I…

A new week in my little world…
I thoroughly enjoyed reading through *Quest to be Queen*, and am quite excited to start writing on it again tomorrow. Even the part that seemed to drag while I was writing doesn’t seem so bad nearly three months later. (Maybe because I’ve recently met writing that really DID drag!) That and a crit and my…

Rusted wheels
The wheels were rusted and squeaky. It took a great deal of effort to get them turning. Several shots of oil were required where various gears interlocked. In the end, though, the wheels did turn. And *False Perceptions* is 1088 words longer than it was yesterday. I re-read the last few chapters to set the…

Snort. Does two yes’s out of all those questions really count? Sheesh. You’re hard to please.
I have no clue when the hay baler was invented, but were it to be important in some way to my novel, I would LOOK IT UP.
I don’t think that writing the first book of a planned series (providing it can stand alone as a quality work) should count against one.
And, goodness gracious — if you’re doing work-for-hire for Wizards of the Coast, you’ve already been paid part of your advance in all likelihood, so abandoning your work would be breach of contract!
. . . Should I point out the rest of the flaws?
Hmmm… I passed! All the same, I can readily conceive of using quite a few of those plot devices without feeling in the least bit guilty. *grin*
Hey, *I* didn’t write it, I just found it amusing and thought I’d share.
I see though that there are a few cliches I missed while writing my fantasy spoof for Nano last year. Maybe I’ll leave the exam open in front of me when I start revising, so I’ll know what to put IN.
