Thursday 1 October 2009 - "I lost my hat." "Again?"
It is October ist and too cold to snow-YIPEE!!!!
I have made no progress on the Marshalls, mainly because my Dell went wacky and broke and I can't get the books off until I call for help-HELP!
Right now I am trying to get six months of clothing into my two suitcases. It isn't working, oddly enough. I could leave half of the things behind, but then I would be in trouble. I have to behave myself in Indy and act and look like a lady-if you ask me that is asking for the impossible :-D
The real hard part of my packing is trying to decide what books to take :-)
Oh yes, I remember now what is going on with the Marshalls-in the editing department. My editor clearly pointed out that Jessie cannot carry on a dogfight with a wounded arm----she also pointed out that it is unlikely a 13-year-old could even do a dog fight-to which a friend of mine disagreed strongly. I was going to ask him more about it, but he left and will not be back until I am gone. So, I either have to take the fight out, make it were Nate is doing it, or lessen the tricks Jessie does-unless I can prove she could have pulled it off-"Wanted, a 13-year-old to pull stunts, must provide biplane."
I am thinking I need to experment the things I have my characters do-as in jump out of cars, planes about to take off, have a speed boat fight, swim in stormy waters with sharks-and so forth. That way when anyone says, "That can't be done!" I can say, "Yes it can!" And not be the next Indaina Jones-swinging from a whip which COULD NOT be done! At least, I doubt it----I should try that too.
I wonder if I should experment with Hemlock too while I am at it. Might as well do Nightshade too.
I might not be able to update again before I go. I wanted to give everyone my email address so we can keep in contact while I am away. DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME!!!!!!!! Goodbye, in case I am not back, and I will see everyone at Christmas!

Hey, yeah, girls can fight too. Even wounded. Heaven knows I'VE done it. But then...I'm sixteen. :-/ Not thirteen. Hm.
*sobs and throws her arms around her big sister* I will miss you soooo much!!!!! Do try to take care of yourself! It's a big world out there and not everyone is friendly!
Oh yes, I am sure this is so encouraging to you. :-P
*tight hug* I love you, sister! Stay strong; I am praying for you.
