Writing Journal: Midway through writing The Adjusters #42. And it's a weird experience. It really wants to be written first-person present-tense. So that's how I'm going with it. It'll need a lot of work on the backend, seeing as it's all over the place right now. One reason for that is that I'm still fleshing out the details of Book IV. I mean, I know where the story starts and where the story ends and where it fits in the larger context, but the details and especially the characters that appear in it remain to be figured out. I've got a large file into which I brainstorm about Book IV, and I think I'll take a snapshot of it so that when Book IV is all posted I can show you the file if you're curious and want to peruse it.
Some random links to keep you all distracted.
Sexy lingerie from the 80s from Silver Rose and from Victoria's Secret. I'm happy to report we survived the 80s.
Two scanlation fumetti from The Groovy Age of Horror: Storie Blu 117 - Violenze Mostruose (Monstrous Violence) and La Schiava 3 - L'Artiglio del Padrone (The Master's Claw)
Fascinating read if you're into porn and statistics: A study of 10,000 porn stars and their careers.
Whether you're into pony girls or not, have a look at this photo set. It's exceedingly pretty.
There is a story here. I just know there is. And we even have the title: Stuffed and Mounted.
A very sexy clip: Agent Provocateur Fall/Win 2012 with Mónica Cruz (Penelope Cruz's sister).
Less sexy (oddly enough) but funnier, we have some ads for a porn channel.
I'll leave you with a rather sweet mind-control story, Gifted Grifter, by DrSqueaky: “Origin of the man who seduces by reading minds.” A nice variation on the guy-gets-mind-control-powers trope, partly because he can only read minds, not affect them. The subplot with Julie is particularly nice, and hot to boot.

Please do. This should be very interesting.
Book IV should be interesting. We kinda have an idea what Jenn is going through, but to see it through her eyes and in the present.
ReplyDeleteWould like to see that file. Also does book IV happen at the same time as Book 3?
Okay, I'll do that then. (Don't get your hopes too much up about the file, though. It's likely to be an incoherent mess!)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Book IV overlaps with Book III.
