WIP meme - a goat following the flock

elingregoryThis is all over the place today, posted mostly by proper writers with followings. But I'm posting this as a cautionary tale to anyone who thinks "oh hey, I have a shiny idea, I'll write a book about it!"
Shiny ideas can be evil. Shiny ideas can take over you life and your hard drive. Shiny ideas are truculent and aggressive ratbags who interfere with each other. And the worst thing about them - they travel in herds!
Solitary shiny ideas that can be properly attended to are lovely things but when does that ever happen.
Meme:
Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.
Alike As Two Bees
Anatolios
Applejack
Blighs Ferry
Eleventh Hour
Emrys
A Fierce Reaping
A Gleam of Splendour
Henry Vance
The Imperial Ideal
Keladra
The Language of Flowers
Moonlight Shadow
Norton Wood
Old Stories
On a Lee Shore
Regency Rubbish
Short in the Saddle
Spices to Belhaven
Tears of Heaven
Town Mouse
The Wanderer
Name one of them and I'll give you a snippet from it and/or tell you something about it.
In other news, I find I am required to write a guide book for work, during my normal working hours in addition to my normal tasks, and it needs to be print run ready by the end of January. OMG so much fact checking!!!!

Date: 2011-10-08 10:34 pm (UTC)So Henry started out as a ghost?! Even more intriguing! I know absolutely nothing about role playing games though I stumble across them online and irl all the time. They seem very mysterious to the uninitiated!
It's percolating at the moment. Stories tend to do that until they are ready to pour out :D
That's funny.
Regency Rubbish is a blatant parody and rip off of Barbara Cartland
Alas I have never read Barbara Cartland or M&B for that matter! However I had a friend who worked for Ms Cartland on her Highland estate once and she said she was even more bonkers in real life then she appeared to be in public!
