Don't need incriminating details or his address, just want to know why you mention him so often, yet he is the only one with no "tag". Daphne comes with a story, friends come with a "from college" or some obvious, telling, description, like "is editing my manuscript". Yet Oscar is not clearly anything but "Oscar", without any stand-out descriptors. No need to share if there is some particular reason you've decided not to, just wanted you to know that the natural, harmless, mystery-novel-fan in me/others makes one stop and try to connect the dots whenever his name appears, although admittedly, I didn't really give it a second thought until I saw his name the xth time and wondered what I'd missed while reading your blog. Colleague? Relative? Former boss? Live-in handy man? For those of us curious about him, if you hold steadfast to "not sharing", which is fine, perhaps you could make up an elaborate lie instead. I.e. Oscar is the Wild Welsch llama you've been feeding ever since Philip Pullman came down with temporary blindness and therefore could not carry on his llama-duties (like Miss America title duties, except with llamas) and the most obvious London-based caregiver was you. Even a fake identity would put a salve on that natural, clue-seeking curiosity. <BR/><BR/>Why do you go to London so often, other than the fact that it's completely cool? <BR/><BR/>Just mild curiousities developed over time!<BR/><BR/>What was your favorite YA book growing up? One that you've read over and over again? And as you're now a published writer with some insight, can you figure out why it "worked" so well for you, craft-wise? <BR/><BR/>What author (that you haven't met) have you learned the most from? <BR/><BR/>Are you a seat-of-the-pants writer, or an outline/structured writer?<BR/><BR/>Congrats on finishing SS! And looking forward to however few or however many answers you provide to anyone/everyone. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-67866012333746124092007-09-27T22:36:00.000+03:302007-09-27T22:36:00.000+03:30Hi Maureen!
