Well done, Plei.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I hope she takes a stick to these people. A big, legal stick.

First of all, all of you "real" novelists...new respect here.(Well, I always respected it, but I'll stop asking "Why doesn't Writer X get on with it and write a new book, already?) Plot Question: My character has just been caught in a Big Lie, and worse she came between a mother and her daughter to do it(I know. Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!) But the kid begged her to keep her secret, so she did. And it came out. And I want them to work it out, but not in a phony afterschool special way.

erika, two questions to ask yourself, that may help:
1. Which of the characters (it can be all of them) is your main traveller here?
2. What's at the end of the road you want them to take? As in, what do you want to happen to them/enlighten them/obfuscate them/get them to learn?

Always Anti-fascist!
When I started, I was much more sure that I knew the answer...I may have to write a few versions or something.

erika, drabble the scene. Write 100 words and just let it flow; write a few of them and see which version sings at you, or feels true.
