Three days

Dec 17, 2004

Three days of only three pages a day. Three days of wondering what the hell was wrong. Had I lost my way again? Was I just getting tired, again? Actually, no. My subconscious was busy working and hadn’t gotten around to telling my conscious mind about it, not yet. Last night it hit me.
Galen almost died on Merry. She truly thought she’d lost him. I don’t know if he’s the love of her life, or not, but he has been her favorite sidhe warrior since she was about fourteen. He loved her when none of the others cared about her at all. I’d set up a scene where we were sharing ourselves around, and Merry wanted it to just be her and Galen. If this is the last time they ever have sex on paper, then she didn’t want to share. Sometimes I think that I, personally, am just too monogamous for this series. There are times when sharing just doesn’t seem the way to go, yet we’ve got so many men in Merry’s life, and so much plot still to cover that I find myself trying to consolidate scenes. But some scenes are just not meant to be consolidated. Sometimes, one on one really is the best way to go. Two or more together has it’s place, but not always. Though when you read the scene you, the readers, may argue that we shared afterall. But as long as Merry and Galen see it as not sharing that’s really all that counts.
