The Story of the Steal-Me Book

A place to post the twistynesses.

Just some thoughts and stuff...

Yes, this is what I do in my free time, people. And, believe me, it may not look like much, but it takes time to figure some of this stuff out. I know the whole doesn't show you, the reader, what exactly the plot is yet. Just remember what Butterfly said a post or so back, we tend to write in scenes at the moment. So if it doesn't seem to fit just yet, don't worry, we just haven't got the thread done to tie it in.

We've had a few people ask where/when this takes place. Fictional place/world. I'm thinking something resembling England or Ireland or something like that. I'm sure Butterfly will contradict me give her own thoughts as to the setting. Time period is, well, what comes to mind is sometime before the burden luxury of electricity and automobiles.

Feel free to ask about whatever, as long as it relates to the tale, please.

Some general, possibly interesting facts so far:

• To date, on the copy that I have, we've written 4538 words (of course this doesn't count the endless erasing and editing).
• Right now, the tale is just over 9 pages long.
• Bfly and I have actually sat down together and written twice (or maybe 3 times)
• We've written more in less time in each other's presence than we have separately (thinking around 8 or 9 hundred words in about 3 hours)
• When it starts feeling like work, we stop writing and go do something else.
• We both really need to get some of those mini-recorders as we tend to come up with ideas while driving, when it's not a good time to try to find pen and paper or try to write on a napkin and drive at the same time
• When we write together in person, we tend to be thinking along the same lines and make good thesauri for each other.
• I've run out of things to bullet about

Enjoy!
