Writing update
Jul. 8th, 2015 12:04 pmI haven't been posting here as much lately. Mm. I may try to post more, but I make no promises.
I am beginning to poke at a rewrite of the start of a sequel to Admit Me, Chorus to This History, and I’m glad the first part overlaps, because it lets me flesh out some things that I didn’t in Admit Me. Like the not-actually-throw-away line about Blanche being the regent while Henry is in France, rather than one of his brothers. Bedford is there, and he’s a very good advisor, and he can lend weight to her decisions as needed, but he’s not the actual regent.
I think I will keep the two POV format as I had in Admit Me, though this time it’s not a romance brewing. Margaret as one POV, from daughter of a king to a queen by her own right of arms. Jane Beaufort as the other, who is Margaret’s companion from the time Margaret is 11. With the interstitials being filled with excerpts from letters to and about Margaret, mostly from men in her life.
