You have witchcraft in your lips, Cate

[stillsostrange]

The kind that turns ghouls and writers into besotted fools.

I now have a bad case of "the novel is always greener." My head's all filled up with Cate--the way she walks, the way her braids rattle when she tosses her head, the way she stands up straighter when she's angry... She's already won a bid for serious pov time in the San Antonio book, and threatens to steal it all away from Alex and Liz. I love Adrian too, but he is shy, and would rather someone else talked about him.

Ahhh, infatuation.

And of course, she's making me research geology and paleontology, so I can hold an intelligent conversation with her. Anyone want to go caving with me this summer?

But I am a dutiful writer, and I will open Dreams again today, and poke it with sticks. Maybe I no longer care if the draft is full of holes, as long as it's finished.

And for OWWers, I'll give you a cookie if you can spot all the T.S. Eliot references in tVH. :)

I think it runs away if you make it angry, leaving you with nothing to write about. Or maybe it eats you.

I'm glad somebody likes Jeremy. :) (And I really really have't forgotten about send you those chapters. I just got eaten by a short story for a few days.)
