Description

2k in I'm feeling awkward around my main character, wrestling with POV, and killing people's mothers. Oh and gushing about stars. I like stars.

I feel the SAME way! It is just so weird. Last year I felt like I was one with my characters, this year its like they are my neigbors. SO FRUSTRATING!

Yes! There are actually several different write-ins planned. Tuesday at Borders from 6 to whenever, Wednesday at the Starbucks across the street from Desert Ridge (so Tatum and the 101) at 6 to whenever, and Saturdays at the same Starbucks from 2 to 6 I think we said, starting the 3rd.

I had my MC get beaten up by her mother for trying to save someone's life. I understand how you feel.

If you need to laugh, go outside and play Stars. You point at a star, and while you're looking at it, you spin around until you fall down. It's great fun :D Especially if you're playing with other people.

I remember when I used to see the stars. Now I ust see the lights from a big shopping center. I'd give anything to see the stars again.

ew... first person..
ew... present tense.

Anyway, if you dont necessarily NEED the reader to know the main character, don't hesitate to change tense/point of view in the next chapter.

Everything's going to be okay!

ew is right. And thank you for your reassurances. :-)
