I had a really tough time getting around to writing today. I haven't been feeling so hot and I felt like doing something, anything, other than writing. Zoey came by for a while and we crafted. And when I say crafted, I mean she did a lot of crafty things including cut out fabric patterns for a dress she's working on, and all I did was piddle around with yarn and then drift off to play Critter Crunch. It was really relaxing and soothing so eventually, after doing practically nothing, my inner doer kicked in and admonished me for not being productive. So that's when I got on my computer and, like usual, words just started pouring out of my fingertips.
I'm currently in Chapter 11 and this is where Mrs. Mendoza, the motherly curandera comes in! I wasn't sure if I'd like her so much as a character, but she's growing on me. I just started thinking of all of my Latina friends and their parents and BAM Mrs. Mendoza became a reality as her personality grew. There's also some tension going on between Alder and Thistle which I'll finally be able to explain in this chapter! Yay! Anyway, I should be writing more not blogging! Bad, Quinn!

PS. Kahlua is tasty unless you're allergic to rum. Then it sucks Rocky Mountain Oysters. I learned this the hard way at Chevy's, their Kahlua-chocolate mousse is delicious, until the food allergies kick in. Thank heaven for antihistamines!
