    What do you mean, "now"?


Well, true. But you bring it on yourself.


    Quote:
    Clean shirts and some groceries would be more practical. And a new garderer, since mine is apparently in prison now.


Would that I could in a practical way.

And, what did he/she do to end up there?

I just did some work in the garden, there was/is a stubborn thorny asparagus fern which was really growing wild everywhere and has multiple root stocks. As I was working to get rid of it all I actually blamed spiffy out loud.

    At this stage I need to bring a lot of strands together and the "short chapter focussed on one person" format is a bit of a limitation. So we've had several chapters where focus characters either report on or see what is happening in the other plotlines. I'm afraid it is inevitable as we get towards a resolution.


It's a good way of keeping things moving without having to go into the detail.

    Trying to find fresh ways of doing that (with Laurie and Beth's visions and Zania's cosmic senses and so on) is a bit of a challenge. So I was happy to have a character at hand who could legitimately see some borders and the events there.


Yes, it was quite different but worked.


    Quote:
    Doubtless Lisa would claim she was ending an old life. Like her cat, Lisa can be an old softie. Honestly.


I wouldn't refer to the cat that way.


    Quote:
    Nope. Not even Wilbur managed that.


Ah well.


    Quote:
    We're still light on ethnic minorities from non-Western countries.



    Quote:
    Like Zania ever bothered to answer my phone.


Good help is hard to find?


    Quote:
    You'd think it would work that way.


The author or his editor perhaps.


    Quote:
    Well that narrows down the field.



    Quote:
    Indeed.


Melissa
Troia
Enthralless
Lisa
Cobra
Sorceress
Hagatha Darkness
Valeria
Laurie Layton
Ziles
Grace Kelly
Shazana Pel
Yuki
Cleone Swanmay
Uhuna
Citizen Z

It strikes me that the daughter of a Sea-Monkey-Human combination would possibly be rather exotic or have some kind of powers.

        She was the freshest "bedraggled girl that Mac encountered" in my mind.

    So she was.
