I took a moment this morning to review what I’d written of the Amplifier prequel so far before diving back in, coming up with one overwhelming conclusion:
Emma (aka the Amplifier, aka Socks, aka AMP5) is a real bad ass. It isn’t something that she grows into (a la the Dowser) or something she’s never known was possible (a la the Oracle) or something she’s suppressed (a la the Reconstructionist). It’s the only way she knows how to be, the way she understands her role in the world she has been bred into – a fundamental aspect to her nature.
So it’s a good thing that Emma (eventually) has a thing for gingersnaps and Downton Abbey, and that she falls in love at first sight in book one. Otherwise we wouldn’t have anything in common.
So yeah, I’m writing.
Just in case you thought I had any sort of other bad-assed craziness going down over here in my tiny office perched on the edge of a tiny island. 😉
Looking forward to this series!
I’m so glad!!
Maybe she’s your fantasy alter ego…
Well, they all are, aren’t they? 🤣
Yeah! Looks like progress.
Bad assed = FUN!! 😊
😳🤪🤯 … 😆😍 … Can hardly wait!!
Looking forward to a new series from your incredible mind.
Yay! Because I’m enjoying writing it!
I love the insight into the writer’s mind here. It’s an amazing thing, how you work and bring these characters to life. You have an incredible gift and I am so glad I get to be part of this process, if only by reading the finished product.
I have a set process, a set routine, so it is always interesting when I make connections like this, about the characters. A little fun surprise for myself.
Looks like you’re cooking an interesting book series! I can’t wait to read it!
