Another Message From The Headpeople

In other news, a character in my own space opera just outsmarted me. Dweiji came up with a much more interesting trick to solve a problem than I had. My sister points out that this is still me, but I don’t know if I can take the credit because I did it subconsciously and the character had to clue me in herself.

I was doubly surprised that it was not only a good idea, but it was one she could pull off. To my surprise, I have managed to make a character who is both devious and a good actor. I have difficulty with this, since I myself am a terrible actor and a lousy liar. My main character shares these traits, and I have to work to keep everyone else from being totally frank, honest, and painstakingly precise as well. But I must be getting the hang of it, because it’s pretty easy with Dweiji.

I’m not sure exactly what this means, but I think it’s a good sign.
