Here's a poll, of sorts:
Without looking it up, how many of you know the story of Persephone and the pomegranate seeds?
I'm curious, as I refer to it in the book, and I was surprised that my husband didn't know it. It's not a problem as I explain...but I'm wondering how well-known the story is.
I changed the right-hand menu a little. In the final step of severance, I took the Murderess excerpt link down--it was time. I'm not working on that book anymore. And I put up a progress bar for the new book, currently titled "Jenna". My goal--thanks, Vic {g}--is to have the first draft done by Surrey, at the end of October. I wrote 1100+ words yesterday (yay, me). I can make that.
I remember something about it from "Rose Madder" by Stephen King (his last good book, IMHO). In the King novel had something to do with planting or eating a pomegranate seed. And a minatour was involved somehow. It might be he took poetic licence though and I could completely off!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so familiar and I might miss the point.
I think I could get it, if I saw it in context. *nudge, nudge* *wink, wink*
ReplyDeleteWasn't she stolen and taken to Hell? And doesn't it have something to do with why we have winter? I'm forgetting details, but I think I would get it if I saw it in context.
Goals are great! Good for you! And I'd bet money you get done way before Surrey!
My toes are starting to hurt from all the ass-kickin' I've been doing lately. {G}
ReplyDeleteYou're SO going to make that.
And talk of pomegranates just makes me want to drink.

Hi Suze,
ReplyDeleteI don't know that story. I think I've heard it once or twice but I cannot recall the details.
Congrats on the new WIP. I'm glad you're having fun!
Chris: Nope, not that one. Sara's got it right. I'll post the story in a minute. I remember that other one too, though!
ReplyDeleteVic:You think your TOES hurt? What about all the asses you've been kickin'? {g} But yes, I'll make that. Got another 900 or so yesterday.
Cindy: I'll tell you about it! And thanks. Yep, this WIP rocks.
