cleolindaDid get some work today. Spent the morning... mathing.
So this is what I've been working for a few weeks now--and today, specifically, working the numerical age needs of two teenage characters into a pre-existing fantasy storyline with its own timeline requirements. It's a brain vacation from Black Ribbon, and seems to have done me some good. Feeling kind of refreshed. No matter how much I work on this, though, I don't think there's any way I could finish it before the first Black Ribbon. So that's still a priority.

@cleolinda: Using algebra to figure out characters' ages relative to each other over time based on how old when things happen. Stay in school, kids.
@cleolinda: I'm dealing with teenagers, so time is kind of sensitive. "Um. That would make her 10 years old. That's not going to work." MATH IS HARD.
@cleolinda: NUMBERS, HOW DO THEY WORK
@cleolinda: IT'S A MIRACLE http://twitpic.com/2mr3j6
@cleolinda: So apparently I am now writing a YA series that takes place over six years about a character who goes from 15 to 21.
@cleolinda: "He can't be 17 because she's 21 and THAT IS NOT GOOD. FFFFFFFFF--"
