When I started writing Coupe, I decided that along with the anagrams I hid in the story (at least three that I remember) I was going to incorporate a lot of music.  Not just songs that the characters themselves were listening to during the story, but I created a specific play list...  oh, alright, I burned CD's.  Busted!  But, I assembled a list of songs that I listened to while writing.   Songs that inspired certain moods, certain plot points, even certain characters.  So, I was wondering, do other authors do the same?  Just thought I'd put the question out there.

Just a few of the songs either in or that inspired Coupe (list incomplete, will update when I find the actual CD's again, LOL)

Interesting playlist. Several songs I know and like; a few I don't recognize. One reminds me of a movie I should have included in my list on the sci-fi movies forum (love Queen).

 

I don't usually listen to anything when I write. I visualize the action and try to describe it.

Just enough to whet our appetites!! <_<  I am quite certain now that I am right in saying Robyn and Kay Neth have to take on the dragon. Now is Yoseph's trouble from the dragon or Korbesch? I am thinking Korbesch.

 

Love the repoire between Robbie and Kenneth; a sign of pure, true love in spite of the Satyr's nature. Also love how they have accepted Jaun/Croaker.

 

Thanks for a great story! :)

Okay, so I have finished Chapter 1... And I hope you all do not snicker because I am still at the awe-struck stage of how much I am enjoying the story so far and in a state of semi-hero admiration for the author. You are well into the twists and turns of the story and I want to be there too. If we were on Saturn or Jupiter, the days would have more hours with which to read!

Oh, great.... So chapter 3 is like some kind of "Red Wedding" chapter in Game of Thrones? Can hardly wait now to read it, sigh... Hey, I did have to tell D'Artagnon he misspelled "greaves" so that is why I only have semi-hero worship. What will it be after Chapter 3, grin....

Without revealing anything I can safely say that when Chapter 3 hit, less than an hour later I started getting angry reader responses, both email and instant messenger.  Last count had the hate emails at 242.  When you consider that I first posted this story and that particular chapter in May of 2003...

Ok, when I reached a certain point past the "Red Wedding", I wanted to throw the dang book across the room. Will not say where in the book I was for those of you have not read or finished "Game of Thrones"... But I just purchased a new IPad and now have to worry about hurling it out the window?? What kind of warrantee do you give with this Story, D'Artagnon, grin.... Going to try to read Chapter 2 tonight. Will try to keep any thrashing around to a minimum.

I see.  I shall take your rather pointed and direct statements on these matters under deepest consideration and attempt at once to address your GRIEVANCES in the order they appear and to the severity required.  For instance, in the case of  post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg with that very dangerous situation, I shall strive to post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg  that  post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg  by carefully making it plainly post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg without breaking story continuity.

 

Furthermore... Oh, I'm sorry that sound means we've run out of time.  Keep reading to see how  post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg gets post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg  by  post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg before the whole  post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg goes to   post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg.  Ta ta for now! 

 

Oh and to you giggling in the last row, by the theater exit?   Sir, most sincerely post-65-0-62622900-1418149482_thumb.jpg  you, the horse that you rode in on and the dog that ran beside you!   Good Day!

Resident Author of Castle Roland,

 

Good Day to your sir,

 

In regards to the post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg that seems to have become a concern for post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg and post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg. Your intent is to clearly create post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpgpost-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg and furthermore the issue with post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg at the post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg only complicates the matter by post-65-0-01009100-1418154532_thumb.jpg.

 

So with that said You are a post-65-0-64120800-1418154624_thumb.jpgpost-65-0-64120800-1418154624_thumb.jpgpost-65-0-64120800-1418154624_thumb.jpgpost-65-0-64120800-1418154624_thumb.jpgpost-65-0-64120800-1418154624_thumb.jpg.

 

Good Day sir

oh my.  do you kiss your mother with that keyboard?  You potty-mouthed, insensate, carpetbagging, horn-swaggling, shirtless, beardless, rock-kicking, bilge swallowing, poo kissing, red-bellied sap sucking, reprobate Yankees/Jets fan!

 

or words to that effect.

 

Do you want to know what happens next in the story?  Do you wanna?  A big spoiler?  Oh, I'll tell you alright.  I'll tell everyone.  I'll tell everyone every little thing as if it happened only yesterday... You want the whole plot in one sentence?  Here goes!

 

The next thing that happens in Coupe is....

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 13
