madame_guillotine at 01:09pm on 31/05/2009I think my next writing project is going to be a total rewrite of the Versailles P*rn that I wrote a couple of years ago. By total rewrite I mean:
1. Condensing about 800,000 words to just 150,000.
2. Starting the book in 1789 instead of 1786.
3. Changing the relationships of some of the characters.
4. Switching from omniwhatsit to first person perspectives of the three main characters.
I have NO idea how this will turn out but am hoping that I will end up with something a lot tighter and better than the last effort. I don't think that I will be blogging it as I go along but may put the first couple of chapters online depending on how it turns out.
Anyway, in the meantime have three Vigée-Lebrun portraits that I fondly imagine resemble my heroines:
La Belle Cassandre.
Adélaïde.
Lucrèce.
