The chapter I'm currently writing has this scene. It's a scene with a therapist and her client, and I am trying to portray her as clever, caring, and deeply insightful. I mean far more insightful than I could ever be. And let me tell you, that's tricky business.

So I'm faking it. I get the luxury of time, while she has to deal with someone sitting across from her, and she is having to think on her feet. What takes me writing and rewriting, and hours of thought, she does in moments.

I guess it's true, I am just as smart as she is. I mean, she came from me, right? The only difference is Naomi is smart at full speed.

Pretty big difference. LOL

But it's so fun writing her. God ... she really is clever. I love when secondary characters shine like this.

Onward.

Hehe. Thanks. That's the only way I can explain it. I certainly write characters that are smarter than I could ever be - because they are smart at full speed.

It's a funny phrase though, isn't it?

Faking it huh? Somehow I think you know more than you realize. 

Now.... an averagely intelligent, middle aged, boring, will work til she drops dead, has no clue what she's doing most of the time, wife and mom writing gay romance stories? Now that's faking it!! 😂

Go write Wayne.

Okay ... that's pretty funny.

FYI - your latest installment of Lucifer and Gabriel was good. Nice work.

Hahaha ... 

I don't know HOW I missed this! Maybe my notification issues I'd been dealing with (fixed now).

I'm well into chapter six of this latest one, and it's just ... well. It's this sweet and confusing (for the characters) opportunity for growth. How that looks is different, though. It's not the same for all the characters, just as it's not for us. The Hazards of Love is just such a perfect title. Because yes, there are many hazards on the path to love.

But ... god. What a payoff.
