Page 69 Test
Well, it is amazing the things you discover, just by being visible on the net.
Marshal Zeringue wrote to me to ask if I would like to contribute to a site he maintains, based on a very cute and interesting idea.
What he does is ask authors to describe the action on page 69 of their novel. How does it fit into the developing narrative? Is it atmosphere or drama, character-based or location, dialog or straight prose.
I wrote one a couple of weeks ago and Marshal has just emailed to say the pages are live. If you would like to see how it works, here are the links:
* Pg. 69: Kate Mosse's Sepulchre
* The Page 69 Test: Sepulchre
* Kate Mosse
A bientôt

Dear Kate,
Thanks for the links. I was fascinated to discover that Sepulchre was originally written as two different threads and then you intertwined them. What a wonderful job you did in the twining!

For the links, that's my pleasure. I think they are really interesting experiments.
For the threads in the tale, I don;t think I could have done it any other way. I only found out which parts of each story had to be told in which time in the editing!
Best
Kate
