First off, yes it was your Nathaniel question I answered, Keeper4Nathaniel. My hope, dare I call it a plan, is to look on the forum for comments and questions from you guys. Jon can help me if I get lost in technology land. Strangely, working on the comic has really helped me get over my phobia about tech. It’s helped especially with my fear of e-mails, and editing on screen. I’m getting better at both. I’ve even sent an e-mail with no help from anyone, that actually got to it’s destination. Wow. I know my fear of technology seems silly to most of you computer savvy people, but phobias are like that; they don’t have to make sense.
As for the post that questioned what I meant about not killing characters, well, that isn’t exactly what I meant. I’m not adverse to having someone die if it’s unavoidable. But I choose to avoid it, if possible. It’s not always possible. I think I blogged about the fact that I did kill someone in THE HARLEQUIN. Yeah, another emotional screw over for my characters. I did promise after GUILTY PLEASURES that if Anita cared for someone I wouldn’t kill them off. At that time I had planned on her picking one person to care for, at a time. How was I to know? Sometimes I think Anita’s interest is partially my subconscious’s way around that promise. A way to keep everyone safe. Maybe; who knows what one’s subconscious is up to these days.
I’m pretty sure why I don’t like killing people off in the books. It’s probably something to do with that whole mother dying when I was six thing. Probably. But since I’m still running a fever, and not feeling at all a hundred percent, I don’t really want to go down that road too far tonight. Being sick makes me feel down enough without adding emotional pain.
