Merry Christmas to me

Well, I said I had to have 50,000 words done or else I wouldn't let myself go home for Christmas.

But this is close enough, isn't it?




Because, you see, there's definitely more to be written, but I'm kind of at an act break, and I'd rather not start a new act until I can really roll up my sleeves with it.

So I'm going to fudge on the 18 missing words.

For now.

Later gators,

ps...I've been VERY interested in what you guys have to say about my announcement that Ellen Page is a dead ringer for Cammie. Which she is. But you guys have all had your own ideas, and I think that's great. It means you've made the character someone you feel like you know, and that's what it's all about gang.

But one question did come to mind: you guys know Bex is black, right? Or African American. Except she's not American. So I guess that makes her African British. But in any case she's not Caucasian.

Which, by the way, if you've always seen her as Caucasian, that's okay. You should see the girls as you want to see them. I just always thought it was important for, on the outside, Bex to be Cammie's opposite in every way: One is striking, one you have to really study to see how pretty she is; one is British one is American; one is Black one is White; one is fight and one is flight. But at their cores, they're the closest thing to sisters that two girls can be.
