Day 22 → Tell us about one scene between your characters that you’ve never written.
Their last night on Earth, their last night together, Harper and Mary lay out under the stars. They don’t say good-bye, that will have to be put off until it’s time, but they do say thank you. Mary thanks Harper for opening her eyes to the world, and Harper thanks Mary for reminding her that the world can be a beautiful place.
Day 21 → Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
None in the Book Gang, some in Collector.
Liz and Emeric take in their pubescent cousin, Annie. Then there’s some hardcore baby drama when Liz get’s pregnant and Emeric’s wife, Arin gets pregnant and bad things happen and AlSDAFSJGLSDNAFJ I CANNOT BELIEVE MY OWN BRAIN CAME UP WITH WHAT I’M GOING TO DO TO LIZ. I STILL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. Chloe surrogates for Jones and Scott (d’awwww) and it’s just a downright babyfest at the end. But basically Annie is the only one who ever is an actual person who I plan to write about.
