 Never let it be said that you can't take an idea and run with it...

Alex and I invite you to join the Sisterhood of Ambiguity. It's the only online cult that delivers exactly what it promises.

(You can probably join if you're a man too. You can be an honourary Sister. We have logos!)

Dear Naomi,

You do not like coffee. You do not like hazelnut coffee. You do not like Italian roast coffee. You do not like mild roast coffee. Just because the coffee at the Institute is free, doesn't mean you have to drink it. Especially since you do not like coffee. Stop trying coffee.

Love,
Naomi.

PS - Nor do you like green tea, no matter how nice it smells.

I had a very productive CWIL meeting last night - chapter one of Wild was up for critiquing.. My fears about Lizzie are confirmed: she is not a likeable protagonist. Or at least, the male members of the group don't like her. The female contingent was kinder, but I think it's a valid point. She doesn't come across well at first. The other issue people brought up is that there's no hint of what genre Wild is in the first chapter. The urban fantasy element doesn't really kick in until chapter three, so the chapters one and two may eventually either be merged into one or disappear altogether. Which is a shame, because I really like them. It wouldn't be so much killing my darlings as obliterating them.
