Now I'm hungry, and I just had some chocolate. :)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, what you said makes sense, which is why I'm doing so well this year compared to others. This year, I'm going for the mousse. But I'm not going to give up on the Black Forest Cake, now that I know how to make it. :pRuth Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601542517036599790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-67337970110884815432008-11-07T19:06:00.000-08:002008-11-07T19:06:00.000-08:00But you can't beat chocolate coated lettuce.This y...But you can't beat chocolate coated lettuce.<BR/><BR/>This year is going slower for me, as I don't know the characters.

My last novel was about a guy on a journey and I didn't really need to research much because he didn't know much, lol. Now I've got police detectives and all sorts of things that actually require a little thought. <BR/><BR/>You really shouldn't write about such yummy treats without including at least ONE picture of said treats. :)Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-54152871794164038672008-11-07T09:09:00.000-08:002008-11-07T09:09:00.000-08:00I can haz noms?

This post made me hungry! =)<BR/><BR/>I wrote a first person Stephanie Plum type book a few years back and did 80k in about a week and a half and let all the ugly hang out as well. It was a breeze, but it's a trunk book (as are the two others in the series - at least for now)<BR/><BR/>It definitely takes more thought to write historical, or you run the risk of tossing in a zillion anachronisms. And those are uglys that have to be taken out and shot.<BR/><BR/>Okay- I can haz choklit now? ;)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481162819559141780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-66777848024415585322008-11-07T07:28:00.000-08:002008-11-07T07:28:00.000-08:00Love your analogies.

R...OMG, I just about died laughing at today's LOL! Reminded me of being a kid. Used to eat a lot of pot pies back in the day, and I'd always pretend I was a giant, eating up the denizens of the poor little pastry town, and drowning them in the gravy or the milk.<BR/><BR/>Yah, I was a weird kid. And your post made me think of food again. *drools*<BR/><BR/>Chocolate mousse or black forest tart? Who can decide? They're both incredibly delicious. :D<BR/><BR/>And you're right, I think, in that what genre you're writing matters when it comes to speed. Not that any one genre in particular is harder to write than another as a general rule, I suppose, but some books require more research than others, or more expertise on the conventions or what have you.<BR/><BR/>That's one of the things I like about fantasy...it's so easy to break the rules, and you can fudge a little on the research in the draft phase. It appeals to the lazy part of my little scribbler's heart.<BR/><BR/>Now, I must go rummage in my fridge for some cheesecake.
