Writing Update
Feb. 12th, 2008 08:29 amWhile my DVR was recording the Sarah Connor Chronicles last night, I wacked out some words on Space Rescue. Chapter 15, to be specific, which is a "hinge" chapter. It's three short scenes, from three POVs, in which we start to make the turn from being passive survivors / victims of piracy to active anti-pirates.
It's also a chapter in which a two-year-old boy of normal development is left alone overnight by his PTSD-afflicted mother. The boy climbs up on a kitchen counter, pushes over a cereal container for food, and when discovered, asks for "wa-wa" (water). Not having kids, I'm not sure if this is plausible (obviously not safe) so I'm formally requesting input from my readership.
