Me too! I like 3 a lot!
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

So #3 is taking the crown, huh? (That's the one I think I like best, too.) So that's the one I'll play with this week!
sj, tell me what you didn't like about #1, just out of curiosity?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Totally 3. It sounds so wicked and smells like funnel cake and doom.

It just seems like something that has been done before, at least the bored muse part. Sorry.

Dude. There's the cover copy RIGHT THERE!

No need to apologize! That's what I need to know!

I love #3, especially for the possibilities of a point of view book from each triplet -- that has so much awesome potential for coolness and crossover and different angles on the same event or events. And an intriguing world I know little about.
I like #1, too, because I enjoy seeing a person dumped into an unfamiliar way of existing in the world -- either the world has changed or they have (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century! Sleeper! Gods who lose their powers!).
#2 appeals the least to me, I think maybe just because the two characters both sound like they'd be cranky at first, which is kind of silly of me, but that's all I can come up with for why it appeals less than the other two.

I have to start writing. I'm so stressed about finances right now, that it's eating my brain. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, yay, but getting from here to there seems fraught right now. So, I am both anxious when thinking about it and anxious when trying to do anything else because I'm not thinking about it. Of course, what I really need to do on all fronts is take action.

Maybe combine the two, Jen? Journal about the anxieties or even the steps you could in between now and then?

That's a great idea, Amy. Maybe that's my best use of Nano right now. Huh. Seems so logical now that someone thought of it for me. Maybe I need to just borrow other people's brain power right now until my own starts functioning again. Thanks!

You can borrow my brain whenever you like, for what it's worth. (Which might not be much, just to warn you.)
