The Sorcerer's Progress (Page 23 of 62)

I didn't see it on the first scan but caught it after you pointed it out. What I didn't understand is why it mattered so much. As if I missed a clue. I go back and reread for content rather than placement. That is why I might seem bewildered.

I really think I only catch about 50% of the deeper meanings. Probably because I'm not a detail person. And because we are polar opposites in the way we think. Just like work, I feign organization as a survival tactic. Sometimes people even fall for it.

Who knows, it might be a cleww!  But at least one reader glided over something, and ran into the other side of it later.

I think I'll make those low rafters.  I can spare an adjective for a poor old reader.

Sigh.  Another obscure reference missed.  "Up came Tom with his big boots on./Said he to Troll, 'Pray, what is yon? ...'"

is it Bombadil? Otherwise I'm googling.

Samwise's song ... also appears in =The Adventures of Tom Bombadil=.

So I did get it. Good Amy!

I spent much of yesterday on the road, to and from a concert in Methuen.   (Peter Sykes on the organ, an extravegant use of his talent in an organ-and-trumpet Christmas concert.   See http://www.amazon.com/Holst-Planets-Tra … es+Planets .   A recording that surpasses the orchestral original, with magnificent liner notes on the tragedy of EMSkinner.  "Old Man Skinner sure knew how to build an organ!")

In the quieter moments of the drive, I put together some things that I've been seeing develop in and regarding Shogran, and overnight I did three reviews and wrote up some of Shogran's perspective on =The Child and the Beast=, now sitting quite improperly in the end of Book 1.  I'm going to see if I can integrate that into the chapter without too much work, and if so I may post the edits.  I won't repub unless someone wants to do a review.

I feel for you. I just got stuck in figuring out the magic. That is what is dictating the action rather than the characters. Very irritating.

However, the magic works now. Long drives are great to figure out plot twists.

Truth. I have a idea what the end is, but the road there is still in flux.

Okay, I've done the edits on B1 Ch90 (which doesn't belong to B1).  If anyone wants I'll do a new version so you can get points; just let me know.

I've alternated Shogran's PoV with Jamen's.  I'm not at all sure (how) it works, but I've also tweaked the storyline a bit.

If you want the new version, please speak up.

It's like the impossible math problem Aa x Bb(C-a) + Cc  (and then a miracle happens) = Life the Universe and Everything

This totally just made my day. lol
