"The Great Swampy Middle"
« on: July 11, 2006, 09:13:32 PM »
Ya'll must not have livejournals, because nobody's mentioned that Jim Butcher's LJ has been updated!

I'm currently looking the GSM dead in the eye, armed with a box of bullet points, numbered lists, and a blank sheet of outline. :D

What about you?

Been there, done that, working on the Cafe Press shirt.

Although The Other Book is currently being rewritten from scratch. The Original Book is off at the movies, waiting for me to figure out the middle.

Thanks for the heads up.

Printed it out. Plan to study it. Then I will attack the GSM of the sequel to my first novel.

Right after I finish the rewrite on the first one.  :)

Great article, thanks for letting us know about the update.   ;D  I liked how Jim gave an example from Dead Beat.
