Just finished...

...sewing a little dress for Lauren's new Korororororon out of the last scraps of lovely cherry blossom print fabric I pulled out of a drawer. I started reading Queen of the Damned, which is an entertaining piece of garbage(sorry, Anne Rice fans!) Lauren insisted that I read it because I found The Vampire Lestat such a hoot.

I also had a mini-epiphany about the story I'm working on that will make my life a bit easier. If I'm worried about my child heroine not sounding young enough in book 1(while not wanting the book to be unreadable), and concerned that having a five year age jump between each of the three books will make my target audience too confusing, why not have the books be actual books written by the main character after the end of the story? She is obsessed with reading books and wants to write stories, so why not have her write her own story? At the end of the story, she's going to need something to do. Maybe she'll give the books to somebody special.
