The Desert of Thirsting
Sounds like an interesting place does it not? Here is the full description from which that was taken,
“No one knows the exact location, but the necklace is supposed to be hidden somewhere in the Caves of Wandering which are located in the Mountains of the Dragons, which is in the center of the Desert of Thirsting, which is located in the middle of the Jungle of Dangers which is on the Island of Death which is surrounded by the Sea of Storms.”
Very interesting sounding place indeed. Currently I have a faily good draft of Elaine’s Pearls and since it doesn’t need anything much added to it and is a bit short by itself I was thinking of paring it up with the book that Elthia reads and having “The Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider” in the same book as Elaine’s pearls. So the title would be “The Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider and Elaine’s Pearls” or “Elaine’s Pearls and the Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider” or simply the classic, “What happens when a fifteen year old writes on her laptop late at night”(Read some old posts to get that one.) Or if I ever get this published(Which I have high hopes of doing so) the publisher will undoubtibly have some suggestions. Maybe “A tale of two necklaces” woudl be a good title or “Pearls and Red Diamonds”. Titles are difficult come up with.
Any way I am currently writing the Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider and feeling that the title is a bit too long as I have to type it all of the time in the story. I hope that this book will be as amusing as Elaine’s Pearls was when I printed it off for Daniel to read. My Dad picked it up and started reading it. It was a good sign when he laughed about as much if not more as when he was reading a “The Far Side” comic book.
And for those of you who are not fortunate to be in my family and who are getting a bit curious about this story, I hope it will get published eventually so you can read it and I can get some royalities. Then you will be supporting Bethjoy.com and me and ensuring that more posts get on here. I have just realized that Spell Check was not on so… I feel to lazy to go back so you can enjoy finding all of the spelling errors:)
The reason I am not posting Elaine’s Pearls on here is that if I post anything on here I probably won’t be able to sell it as it will be on here where anybody can read it for free. Which is why I am somewhat reluctant to put some of my stories on here. But since I also want people to read my website I am putting some things on here. AND maybe excerpts aren’t the whole book but if I do put an excerpt on here I’ll do after the book gets published that way you can go out and buy the book and find out just how somebody who rambles as much as I do could actually write an interesting book with human nature accurately portrayed and the great emotion of love tackled. And if you do find out be sure to tell me because I had no clue I was doing that.
I suppose I ought to stop typing this and get to work on The Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider, but I hardly feel in the mood to write a perilous journey to the harbor of Radgal where a ship might or might not be obtained to go to the Island of Death. Somehow I think I could have made a much more cheerful title for that Island and as I, Elizabeth Von Fange, am in complete control(more or less) of the story I may change it. Which is another reason I am not posting much on here is because the stories change and evolve as I write them and the original idea is sometimes very different from the finished product.
But I suppose I’ll stop posting now since I am now briskly typing and my fingers feel ready for more action. Actually they don’t but I may as well give myself delusions of grandeur and maybe if I tell them they are ready to type a masterpiece they’ll be able to write a decent rough draft and not make too many mistakes.
I suppose I should go over this for grammatical errors etc. but I don’t feel like it so have fun finding all of them.
