One birthday and some other stuff

First things first:


Trotzdem.

I apologise for all the pink. But she's reading, how could I resist?

Other than that?

We got our first snow last Monday, but it didn't stay.

Felix and I went to Sapientia this weekend, that is, the Mini-LARP where all the Grey Camp people gather for some low-plot, casual interaction. We were told "how well we harmonise" and what a joy it was to watch us together. Have to admit that I felt rather tickled about that. Of course, I missed pretty much anything plot-wise that happened. Still, it was nice.

No news job- or uni-wise.

My main NaNo character sure tends to ramble and go off on tangents. Have decided that this is perfectly acceptable and in-character for an illiterate, unschooled twelve-year-old. I just wonder what's going to happen once she is older and more educated, as she will be by the end of the novel. Will her voice change? It should. And when it does, will that be jarring to the reader?
LOL. Write that first, agonise about it later, how about that?

A propos of NaNo, I suspect a ramble about food in fantasy is imminent. Unless I can control myself.

Thank you - she's a beauty!

So your NaNo project is a fantasy novel with a young protagonist--a coming-of-age story?
(Apologies if you had explained this already...)

Yup, a coming-of-age travel story. Traditional stuff. Actually, it's the backdrop for a story I began during B2MeM. I liked it, but didn't have the time to write more than one scene, you know how it is. Now I'm taking the time, but I'm also re-inventing it as original. (That's the only part I mentioned, so no need to apologise.)
