Jan. 3rd, 2008 11:06 amI hate writing synopses. I am writing one today. I may well need those raspberries (for dinner, in a sweet omelette, I think) to get through it.
Or I could spend the whole day hunting for the housekeys I seem to have mislaid.
Or I could sit down and finish the DK Broster book I'm in the middle of. Every single man in it has just mucked up the lives of other people, and every single woman seems entirely unaware of any of it, even when their lives have just been completely ruined. The conclusion I want to the book is one that will not happen. After the swordfights and the imprisonments in wine cellars and the betrayals and the family feuds by their men, I would like to see the two chief women go into the sunset together, hand-in-hand.
I suppose that creating most women passive makes it easier to sort out complex plotting (even if it *is* bad history), but it bugs me.
