lathrielCaptain's Log:
The Bean is no longer an angry kitty, and therefore her liver is no longer surrounded by fatty tumors. Diagnosis: The Bean is happy. She's actually thin! I don't remember the last time she was so small.
I guess I'm a few days late, but I finally planted the seeds I got a few weeks ago. I also potted a lavender plant. Hopefully I didn't mess it up (you'd think that having worked at a greenhouse I might know what I'm doing... but I probably don't :P)
I'm working on My Book... it's slow going, but it's going. I guess the other books are so action packed and exciting, Book 1 seems pretty slow. It's so introductory though: all the characters and governments and alliances and religions and the general modern culture has to be shown without making it one giant boring "info dump." I'm glad I decided to add Denzel to the picture right off, however. It would have never sat well with me to throw him in in Book 4, even though technically his presence would have been plausable, it just feels more real and more like his character to have a hand in things from the beginning. Which he does, more than he realizes. The scene I'm currently working on involves Tabitha Hunter (see, the books are so huge I probably never even mentioned her here before, but she's an important part of the story: portal between worlds, renegade queen, mother of the last members of a dying race, and the reason Denzel is in our universe...) and Leila thinking she might be the vile sorceror she's been sent to kill. We all know she's wrong of course, but the psychology of it is important. If she thinks she has a lead part of her will want to prove it true rather than look for someone else.
Anyway! Enough talking about it. I'm gonna go do it.
