hawkwing_lbOkay, I admit it.
This book... this book. ::sigh:: It's gone and become complicated on me. I've -sort of - figured out the dragon* and what part he has to play, but now I have to figure out how to maneouvre my main character through a tangle of political intrigue whilst figuring out who her enemies are, and what her relationship with her one friend might become.
I don't really understand these characters. Of course, that's half the fun, because they might do a couple of really wild things without informing my conscious mind beforehand, but... I wish I knew who was on who's side, y'know?
Also, conflict? I need it, but it's coming out all soggy, like a damp blanket.

Tristan and Isolde isn't a bad film. It's not a good one, either: the dialogue at times descends into the ludicrous, and wow, the Expositing! But tragic love story, betrayal, bad historical detail and recognisably non-period buildings (the 'Roman bridge' looks a hell of a lot more like a nineteenth century one, and trust me, I do know the difference), in addition to guys running around with swords? Not a bad waste of two hours.
Also, at least the accents of the Irish in the film weren't cod-Irish. For which it gets definite Points.

*Ssh. Keep it secret. You know dragons. Worse than cats.
