quelques POV de AFFC dans ADWD

Snowing like hell in Santa Fe today. I feel like Jon Snow on the Wall. White everywhere I look, and still coming down.

Of course, I'm writing about Meereen, where the weather is hot and muggy, oppressive. If the snow keeps falling, I better take it as an omen, switch to a Jon chapter tomorrow.

La neige tombe à gros flocons sur Santa Fe (où il vit)...
L'auteur pourrait prendre ça pour un présage... et donc quitter les terres de Mereen ( oppressive, boueuse et étouffante) pour rejoindre Jon sur le mur...

The good news: finished a chapter today.

The bad news: it's one I've finished at least four times before.

Bonne nouvelle : un chapitre de terminé, ce jour
Mauvaise nouvelle : c'est un chapitre qui avait été déjà terminé au moins quatre fois auparavant

This time, though, I think I finally got it right. We'll see. Still whacking at the Meereenese knot.

Merreen lui pose de gros soucis depuis longtemps, mais cette fois-ci, il semble confiant et pense avoir tranché le fameux nœud qui l'ennuyait !

I took an especially vigorous hack two days ago, by switching to a new POV. It seems to have helped. Helps to have a pair of eyes on the inside rather than the outside here. And back story works better in recollections than in dialogue.

L'auteur a bousculé quelque peu l'avancée de ADWD en s'attaquant un a nouveau Point de Vue (tiens, un nouveau personnage, ça manquait ! )... ça l'a aidé à rassembler ses idées et à progresser... ' un regard vu de l'intérieur est préférable à un autre, extérieur' ... raconter un passé fonctionne mieux avec des souvenirs que des dialogues...

( je suis curieuse de découvrir ce passage)

Let's hope that when next week comes, I still like what I did this week.

Writing, writing...

Espérons que la semaine prochaine, j'aimerais toujours ce que j'ai fait cette semaine

J'écris, j'écris....

The future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance. In the east, Daenerys, last scion of House Targaryen, her dragons grown to terrifying maturity, rules as queen of a city built on dust and death, beset by enemies. Now that her whereabouts are known many are seeking Daenerys and her dragons. Among them the dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, who has escaped King’s Landing with a price on his head, wrongfully condemned to death for the murder of his nephew, King Joffrey. But not before killing his hated father, Lord Tywin. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected the 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, but he has enemies both in the Watch and beyond the Wall, where the wildling armies are massing for an assault. On all sides bitter conflicts are reigniting, played out by a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves. The tides of destiny will inevitably lead to the greatest dance of all…
