Discussions about books.

I'm in the middle of revisions on A Local Habitation, the second Toby Daye book and the sequel to Rosemary and Rue. The following bit of nuttiness was the result:

Me: "Tybalt has just shown up. Wackiness is sure to follow."
Brooke: "Yay Tybalt! He'll know what to do."
Me: "Injury may be on his list."
Brooke: "Tybalt's to-do list: Items 1 through 7: INJURY. Item 8: INSULT. Items 9, 10: INJURY."

Two observations arise from this. One: it's good to be the King of Cats. And two...I love my proofreaders.

Tybalt is in your book? Like, the actual Tybalt? Hee.

I played Tybalt once! In Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). I died. And then didn't die. And got carried off by gay Romeo.

Not quite the actual Tybalt, but there's a lot of, mmmmmm, let's say 'mentality' in common.

Yay for dying, not dying, and gay Romeo!
