Hmmm

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
*The Washington Post* gave its readers an assignment: Come up with a statement they'd like to sneak on to President Bush's teleprompter during a major speech. Chances would be good that he'd probably just say it, right? The entries included "I shall make it my duty to eat a kitten for breakfast every day," "Global warming can be reversed if everyone just turned his air conditioner around," and "I wish to announce my conversion to Islam." I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because you're in peril of getting into a situation like that. Unless you're careful, you could end up saying things you don't mean or expressing yourself in ways that don't reflect your actual feelings. To make sure that doesn't happen, concentrate hard on communicating with maximum clarity and candor.

Right and gotcha. Anything I can clear up for anybody? /;-)

Bugger...

Okay, Goal 1 not met. The Prelude is not done, as my Muse is being persnickity (which is actually rather funny, being as that's the Kith I've chosen for Jasna). I've been managing to drag it out of it's cave for a scene a night, but then it keeps thinking of more to add, or little changes that I need to go back and make. It's still threatening to become a novella. *grumble-grumble* I'll give it another week, and then if nothing else I'll post the first half or whatever it is by then. :-P

On the bright side, I'm getting some interesting research in, working on this. Stockholm Syndrome and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are no longer a mystery to me. :-|
