Wren: quixotic, self-aware, loving
Gabriel: steady, aware, challenging (as in he challenges Wren)

Because books.
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!

“Not dead yet!”
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!

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.

Copyeditor in the making!

I asked a couple people for off-board ~ma, one of whom kindly suggested I take it up here as well, so here I go - ignore if this is a repeat.
A story has been sitting on an editor's desk for a while - and I'm hoping this mean good things, and not lost things. Any acceptance~ma you all have to spare would be appreciated. Or, you know, fingers crossed, candles lit, etc.
