Shallow Thoughts On SK: Beguilement

[ase]

My Deep and Meaningful post was derailed by norabombay and I trying to write science fiction epics on the phone again, so I will instead offer this thought: my second, scattershot dip into The Sharing Knife: Legacy is not reconciling me to the romance or Fawn; it's making me gesture emphatically at The Steerswoman's Road instead. I am not supposed to be annoyed at plucky Fawn, but oh, I really, really wish her selfish recklessness were not presented as courage.

That's all right. I keep distracting her with Curt Schilling's blog.

This is all an unsubtle scheme to get secondary characters named after your favorite baseball players, isn't it?

No, it's an unsubtle scheme to convert you slowly to baseball fandom (and to distract me from writing my own stuff)

You should write. In IM, if necessary, for the first draft. Otherwise I'll start throwing random worldbuilding ideas at you. ("Hey M! What if - what if there were sharks, with frikkin' laser beams?" "...I think that's been done (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Evil#Schemes)." "Oh.")
