I just looked, and after straining my eyes to see, noticed Hugh Lawry there. And your character is the middle one, right? Is someone crushing on House, MD? Lol. If so, I can’t blame you.

I can’t wait for this book! I am in love with The Cinderella Deal, bought it a week ago and am on my third time of reading it. This project looks amazing

I am suddenly 15 again, being walked home through the woods by my first ‘steady’ boyfriend, who serenaded me with “Little Red Riding Hood” the whole way.

That picture just makes me think “Slumber Party! Wheee!” I think it’s the robe.

Anywho, your collage looks fascinating. I can’t wait to see it filled. I love tiny details. And wolves. And twisted fairytales. Especially twisted fairytales. That’s how I got hooked on Robin McKinley when I was a teenager. Beauty pulled me in.

I get it. He is sexy. Although I get that look sometimes when I mention it to people.

I believe it’s in the eyes.

Hmmmm–think the cyber gremlins swiped my last post… *sigh* Ok, so I like the collage idea, but the scrapbook method really clicks with me. A page a person would keep everything straight and keep it all in one place rather than strewn around the computer! Plus I don’t have anywhere I could put a big collage… I think I may actually give this a shot for my fantasy. I only work on it when I have time and this would keep everything fresh so I don’t have to go back through the story so much to remember what I was thinking. My notes would make so much more sense then!! <3

I could get behind the scrapbook-idea for collaging. I have nowhere to put up a big board, so the book would be a better choice. Thinking this would be a great way to get into my heroines’ heads for my fantasy–it gets so complicated after awhile keeping the threads straight!!

Weird, my comments aren’t at the bottom. Oh well, on to the newest blog post.

I know you know this, but you three have some wicked smart imagination.

We won’t really know the theme for sure until the first draft is done which won’t be for ages because we’re all working on other books, but it’s about the need for balance between dark and light, that dark and light need to work together to create a whole, not struggle to dominate. So much in our world is out of balance right now that I think we just gravitated to writing about it in an alternate world.

I don’t know, either. Yes, that’s Laurie. We had to find guys who looked like they could be descended from wolves. Not as easy as you’d think.

Too cool . . . and it’s somebody’s *job* to sit there and design these curly little things! (-: I wish I had a Michael’s within 500 miles . . . .

Oho! Yes, that sounds like the problem–I’m also a pathological editor. Thanks!

That’s a beautiful start. I’m very excited for this future books. Mercedes Lackey has a series redoing a lot of fables/fairytales. I have some not admiring things to say about them, but they are definitely and interesting take on the disneyfied versions. The female protags are usually very smart too.

I like the spike idea. They did a mythbusters and found that hair could support a person climbing a wall so your eally would just need to wrap it around something to prevent strain on the head/neck.

I love the song “fairy tale” where rapunzel says that if she’d known men could climb hair she’d have cut it all off.

Also–is that Hugh Laurie?

Jenny, words cannot express how much I love you for using Hugh Laurie as your hero. Well, assuming he is, in fact, the hero. No one ever gets why I think he’s sexy.

Is “dark vs. light” the theme of the book? Or is it too soon to tell? I’m on a theme kick right now and it seems to me once you (or me) figure out what your theme is then a whole lot of answers fall into place. Or I’m just kidding myself.

Love the collage. So beautiful.

You know what — lightbulb moment! I could never really wrap my head around the collage, but scrapbooking a page per character, per scene — it clicked!!! I’m SO glad you posted this!!! Thank you!!!

“She’s 57 and she’s pissed off.” HAHA — I cannot wait!!!!

I don’t know why the reply button never works for me.
