Antiphos and Caedmon behaved beautifully for me last night, and between the two of them they produced a very fine scene which will fit neatly into Prince Within. Thanks, boys-your final act together made your relationship all the more awesome to write.
The same cannot be said for Tiernan and Einin, whose conversation issues have made me so absolutely livid with the two of them (or more likely, myself for creating such bloody stubborn characters in the first place) that I'm thinking of not even bothering to put them together anymore, to have them like each other but not connect at all until later.
And since Einin was the one who crossed her arms and shook her head at me last February and refused to give me any ground, I'm assuming she's the one causing all the trouble here. I could see her standing there and telling me no, and I still tried to get her to do what I wanted. She refused, point-blank, to work with me. I finally gave up and went to work on something else.
You must think I'm crazy. That's all right if you do. I've done a lot of mad things in the course of writing this story alone (laid on the floor and measured out a non-existent cell with a yardstick, wrote furiously on the back of a paper placemat for an hour, and oh yeah, remember the time I shot out of the bathtub at lightning speed so that I could write down Carden being dead/not dead?) Yeah, that was two years ago this week...

I'm going to work on other things, in the hope that Tiernan and Einin get their act together sooner rather than later.
Sigh. In the meantime, 10 jobs up and 11 down. If I keep at it, I'll have so many I'll have half of them wanting interviews and I won't know what to do.
I'm going to go write something.
Ta,
Bec
