I'd want to get song quotes or poem quotes, I'd want to have hidden meanings, I'd want the table of contents to have a balance and flow, I'd want to set up a mystery... I could spend as much time on those as the novel itself. So, yeah, better that I don't even start [g]Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-1969709721712569262018-06-15T11:32:28.122-04:002018-06-15T11:32:28.122-04:00Ahhhh huhhhh now I see what you were really doing ...Ahhhh huhhhh now I see what you were really doing on my birthday! ~hehehe~ Just teasing you... I bet you are always here every day of the year aren't you. It's your bag as they use to say. Well, we're getting some changes around here. The people across the street sold their house last month & the people next door sold theirs. Now the people 2 doors down are the ones that bought the house next door, but I think they did because the house is where my backyard is and this LOOOOOOONG GARAGE is next to my house and the guy is a mechanic. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lordie! I can imagine what this is going to look like. The house two doors down they park their cars on their front lawn & the owner is the mechanic & he rents rooms out to his friends & 2 of which are the owners of the house on the otherside of me. I think you get the picture now. Do you have a house for sale by you? I think I need to move & my brother is selling his house in Justice & moving to his summer home in Michigan. Hmmmm maybe I need to change my deodorant. ~hehehe~ Will you be my brother now??? BIG HUGS.... SORRY SO LONG... Just a bit lonely I guess & you're my favorite peoples to talk too! HAVE A GREAT DAY MY FRIEND! hugs BIG HEY To the beautiful wife & gorgeous kiddies...

Laterally, it can go on forever.<br /><br />I don't have much trouble with names either, Alex. But then, I'm writing contemporary. I created a Rwandan name once for a skit at college in French class. Arusha Naturenut, because she was an explorer of national parks. Yes, Rwanda has national parks. All best to you, sir.<br />Victoria Marie Leeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294868315757138169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-9361165434874621712018-06-08T21:01:27.333-04:002018-06-08T21:01:27.333-04:00Solo sounds like a fascinating movie.

But, based on the success of all these “extra” movies, the producers can go on forever, and develop a prequel story for all of them. <br /><br />I would love to make the next pitch party. This time is the first time, it might be feasible. If I get my act together, and be somewhere “stable” for a while. <br /><br />I hear you about titles, Alex! Names seem to be less complicated. And, shorter for sure. :-) Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-4682835834300878642018-06-08T20:12:38.230-04:002018-06-08T20:12:38.230-04:00Alex, your posts are always filled with so much in...Alex, your posts are always filled with so much information!

Now I have seen Annihilation and I think your review is on point. Unfortunately, I am a character-centric consumer of both books and movies so I had trouble connecting with the movie. The upcoming pitch session sounds exciting. I will be sure to share it on social media. Maybe I will even be ready to participate the next time it comes around.<br />P.S.
