Although at our last session I declared I knew what kind of writer I wanted to be... when I sobered up, I wasn't so sure. GAH. Need help. Need drinks.

And this 2-hour show assumed I could remember exactly where Season 2 left off and Season 3 picked up. Eeek!<BR/><BR/>I will admit, I was a bit confused with some of the 'where are the characters now emotionally' rather than where they REALLY are emotionally at the end of Season 3...does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>I had a hard time remembering all the s**t that went down before Michelle Forbes's character was dead. <BR/><BR/>Anyone else in this boat?<BR/><BR/>But I enjoyed it. And I liked the new idea of there being an inbetween kind of Cylon. Also, what the Cylon in the tank revealed to the XO at the very end about Starbuck. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the new season to start! Writers' strike, please don't ruin it for me!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I guess I should comment on the writing stuff. I agree, hard to pick just ONE genre to be good at sometimes. And what happens if it is easier for you to write in one genre, but your heart wants to write something else??? What do you do then??K J Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023089365553324315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-50511203749572442582007-11-30T10:10:00.000-05:002007-11-30T10:10:00.000-05:00Ha ha (evil laughter)...I am even more tricksy tha...Ha ha (evil laughter)...<BR/>I am even more tricksy than Google.<BR/>(rubbing my hands together).Kimber Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658012405712901099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-11661263693855611022007-11-30T09:06:00.000-05:002007-11-30T09:06:00.000-05:00Great thoughts.I guess I'm going the emotional rou...Great thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm going the emotional route just by my definition of what a good romance novel is. I figure it makes a reader either cry or laugh or perhaps do both.<BR/><BR/>I see Google, those anti-competitive b**tards, have changed the Blogger settings, not allowing name links to outside the Google universe.<BR/><BR/>Well, h***, then I'll link in the body of the comments.<BR/><BR/>Kimber Chin<BR/>http://www.businessromance.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-65686291023425175352007-11-29T21:16:00.000-05:002007-11-29T21:16:00.000-05:00Molly, clearly we do need drinks.

And I definitely trust your gut and Maureen's...<BR/><BR/>Abby, Michelle Forbes is amazing, she made Cain such a complex, believable character out of someone who could have been one dimensionally evil. <BR/>And everyone else. Somehow Battlestar and FNL manage to get the most believably, wonderfully understated actors. <BR/><BR/>And just in case I haven't gushed enough, speaking of committment, I love how Battlestar commits so wonderfully to such a dark and bleak canvas. <BR/><BR/>I have such a long time to wait till the 4th season..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-64486223616543387442007-11-29T20:30:00.000-05:002007-11-29T20:30:00.000-05:00I love that you can get a Battlestar Gallactica re...I love that you can get a Battlestar Gallactica reference in every post...<BR/><BR/>I totally get your rationale -- I get it and I understand it, but the devil's advocate in me is saying -- how do you know? How do you know it's not dark enough? Who has that kind of perspective? I know you have to trust your gut - we all do -- but my gut sends mixed messages all the time. About my work, anyway. What I am saying is I think you should trust my gut on your work. Or Maureen's. Probably Maureen's. Clearly we need to talk about this over some drinks...Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-36827088613544235992007-11-29T20:23:00.000-05:002007-11-29T20:23:00.000-05:00I'm almost where you are - I'm brainstorming my ne...I'm almost where you are - I'm brainstorming my next book and committed to starting January 1.
