She’s shared bits and piece like that before (notes and jottings, sketches, etc.), but I don’t keep a regular eye on her website. I’m sure I should, but I find it a little tedious to navigate, if I remember.<br /><br />N.E. Brigand, too right! I don’t know whether Rowling has the same association, but many readers would have.Jason Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809154870762268253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-75653448031608016732010-10-19T12:41:53.045-05:002010-10-19T12:41:53.045-05:00Oom poppa oom poppa oom poppa mow mow...
The name ...<i>Oom poppa oom poppa oom poppa mow mow...</i><br />The name "Elvira" for me will always be most associated with the Oak Ridge Boys' 1981 hit song.N.E.

But perhaps one is forced into some such scheme when writing a complex and plotty book, if one cares about consistency at all — notoriously Marion Zimmer Bradley did not. Not only is the published map of Darkover completely incompatible with the books, but she couldn't even keep track of whether the Dry Towns were east or west of the Domains.
