tarotgalYou're a PANTSER! A pantser writes without
forethought to where the plot is going--sort of
by the seat of her pants method. Youre a free
spirited, creative person. You write with
passion about what inspires you at the moment,
and you probably have a strong voice. Dont
worry about writers block--youve a different
story. Youve got more story seeds than a hive
has bees. When you write, its in disjointed
segments. You may write sequentially or in
flashes of inspiration, where you connect all
your flashes later. People might say you
ramble a bit in your work. Your revision
process might take several passes, because you
really have to whip that first draft into a
more marketable shape. Youre novels either hit
it big or miss. Theres no in between. Readers
either love you, or hate you. Learn to channel
that creative energy into a masterpiece and
well be seeing your name on the NYT Lists!

Hrm... yeah.. that's about right. Maybe I have an idea in my head first... but yeah, it takes me where it wants to go.
Of course I've never actually FINISHED one of my novels... so maybe the problem really is I've got way too many plot bunnies to deal with. Er. Or I'm just lazy when it comes to my Robert and his friends *sigh* Poor babies. They'll never get published *sniffles*
On another note, earlier my LJ writing style was 52% fem. but I've written a few entries since. Ah well. Weirdness.

But I haven't heard about it recently through any of my channels... and I thought the ceremony was in October. Sorry I can't help you out with more details.
The only big news I've heard about him lately is that he's going to be playing Scrooge in New York in 'A Christmas Carol' this December. I'm almost tempted to take a trip up there and see him *G*
Incidentally, his website is: http://www.jim-dale.com/
And frequently has announcements.
