If anyone wants to play, and you've read Cold Kiss, can you give me three words to describe Wren, and then Gabriel?
It's for an interview question, and I'm having a hard time getting down to three.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Hey, all. I'm writing a blog post on editors and copyeditors. It's riveting stuff!
Any pubbed authors or editors got a quote about what makes an editor great and worthwhile, and will let me use full name on blog? (This will mean free publicity for you.)
I'ma try to send the post out tomorrow, so you can e-me if you have something. No guarantees I can make it work -- sad, editing my own stuff -- but I would like some Real Authors to weigh in. Or editors, duh.
Writing after I just ate All The Meatballs is hard, yo.

Doing it now, Erin. As both, I have thoughts about this!

“Not dead yet!”
Wren: quixotic, self-aware, loving
Gabriel: steady, aware, challenging (as in he challenges Wren)

Stephen said self-aware about Wren, and it honestly never occurred to me! He also said quirky, which is a cousin of quixotic! Very interesting. And thank you, dear!

Well, I realized, too, after I wrote those out that nos. 1 & 2 for Wren & Gabriel are very yin & yang to each other.
You wrote them so well! And I've got what you sent me as my prize for finishing the scene that will not die, so that's why you haven't heard from me. I don't want you freaking out or anything.

Not freaking at all. Just trying so hard to get this book DONE and away from me, for a while anyway. Not to worry. I have yours to read a reward, as well.
Erin, which email are using for this stuff? I have, like, three for you in my contacts.

Amy, got it and backflung; all emails go to the same addy now, but Wordslinger is what I'm using for professional issues.
Can't wait to read Cold Kiss!
And Barb, I JUST now realized I haven't gotten back to you on D., although I've read it twice now. Tomorrow, I swear! But I have to get up at 6 am and swore I'd be in bed by 11.
Thanks, all!

not your mom's socks.
Amy - Wren: independent, innovative, stubborn. (I agree with S & B on self-aware) Gabriel: solid, partner, wry (also yes to challenging)
You did write them well. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do next.
