So I've been trying to figure out what it is one of my MCs does to impress another character enough that they let the MC travel around with them. The MC has to somehow obtain an object the other character has tried and failed to get, I just haven't decided how he manages it. But then I had the thought: maybe he steals it. Which resulted in two totally separate reactions: "HOLY CRAP. WHAT? HE WOULD NEVER STEAL ANYTHING." and "Oh, well, considering something this other character tells him earlier he might not consider it to be stealing so it could make sense that he would take it. And that would impress the other character."
Apparently, half my brain is my mother and the other half is Mercutio [specifically from the 1996 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet].
There wont be a post next week because I'll be in New York [yay!] for my sister's graduation. I'm crazy excited because I haven't been home in two years and I have an epic surprise present for my sister - along with the finished armadillo stuffed animal I told you was in the works a while ago:
Isn't he cute?
The stress of packing always has a way of getting to me though. I can get so anxious about it that I want to start a month before the trip but that doesn't make any sense. I just get paranoid that I'll forget to bring everything I'll need [based on a history of forgetting important items]. Making lists seems to help though. There's something so satisfying about lists, being able to check off items and see how much has been taken care of. Inevitably, I will forget something. The hope is just that I'll be able to remember all the major things.
Sorry, bit of a random post today. Here's a picture of last night's sky to make it worth your while. Hot pink exists in nature, go figure!
