Less Complicated...

[livejournal.com profile] marthawells commented that she needs to make her plots less complicated. ::sigh:: It's a sad thing when one has to make a plot simple in order to make it saleable.

One of my favorite authors, Ansen Dibell, wrote 5 novels in the High King of Kantmorie series. The plot was complicated, half-way between science-fiction and fantasy, and wonderful. The first three novels came out from DAW, the last two were never even published in English, only French and Dutch. ::sighing again:: (If anyone has either of those in French, please let me borrow! I was looking at one on-line, and it was selling for 93 Euros....two days before Dibell passed away. I haven't had the nerve to hunt for them since. They've probably only gotten more expensive.)

I got my newest Kim Richey CD. Evidently I listen to "alternative country" now.

Oh, Heavens!! You would think that you could at least use logic to figure that one out. That's so sad.

'Logic' probably cost them the 4% below the 50/50 mark, because a guess should at least get the class to 50% ^_^
