Back to SanClare Scarlet tonight. My leapfrog plotting on La Cause is still being mentally revised. I need to nail down the ending which is vaguely defined at the moment, and I need to sort out which of several candidates will win the fight for Central Plot. I did find a picture in a magazine this weekend that the moment I saw it, I thought, “That’s Sophie-Katrine!” And the looks of this model led me to figure out more about Sophie’s mysterious (but not dead and in-the-story somewhat) mother which is helping frame the whole backstory in a new and fun way.
In the meantime, conflict enters the father/son-esque relationship of two of the main characters in SanClare Scarlet. People aren’t speaking to each other. Someone is justifiably angry about secrets kept from him. And they haven’t even reached the capital yet!
