Oh I get it this thread is brand new just like a new car and you were using the car smell as an example to Express jt..
Hi Thor and Lee,
I hope you are enjoying this segment of the book publishing process. It must be very gratifying to have entered the "final stretch" after all your hard work. I know you had some good ideas for the book such as calling the chapters "vignettes" to capture the sense of musicality as you had told us a while back, and having the cover be a picture of "The Daughters" surrounding Freddie on a hotel lobby staircase. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
Rainbow Thor said that the segments of a book in the US are called 'vignettes' as opposed to 'chapters' in the uk.I can't remember where you are from but now I'm confused lol
What a relief not being a virgin hahaa.. thanks for replying x
Kools,I haven"t been a virgin in 26 years thankful I'm not either ha !ha! I'M just kidding I had trouble posting when I started too.You seem to be doing great.
Lego, I don"t understand what you mean can you explain please Thanks.
No doughnut on this side of the pond we say “chapters” too. I recall Thor saying he was going to call them vignettes. I think of that as a theatre term, but you can look up the meaning. I’m not sure I would get it right. But it gives me the sense of each chapter (or “vignette”) revealing some aspect or another of Freddie or of his friendships with the Daughters. Rather than the book telling an ongoing story, each chapter will be its own little, um, vignette.
At least that is my sense of it. We’ll see.
And vignette is French for little vine.
Just got through listening to “The Prophets Song.” It’s been years since I’ve heard it. and damn if that’s not a masterpiece.
It"s a very old song isn"t it.It"s a good one though.
Galileo, Yes books have chapters My attention span is very very short.So it has to really be interesting or my eyes waunder right off the page.
Hello Thor and Lee!!! I love the new thread - it was definitely time. Wishing you both the best during the editing process. We are all here for you both!
Freddie Darling , Thank you for the email to the new song you are a sweet heart.
oh well I could swear that Thor said they are called vignettes in the US . What we need is Thor to confirm what he meant as I'm sure he said I will know them as chapters.
confused much lol
I could go back and look but I'm feeling to lazy lol
