--What is your most recent POV character’s greatest disappointment?

Still on Kevin Owens (because I have not gotten a lot done beyond nonfiction this week) and it's almost certainly a 30-second title loss match (he should have been more prepared!)

I finally got to see Wonder Woman here in Japan and really enjoyed it! And would pay good money for an all-Themiscyra Amazon movie, like many people.

Have you gotten more writing done? I'm hoping to work on a story set within the Lego Batman universe, which is a really interesting challenge! I might not be up to it, but it's worth a try...

Hmmm, I'm writing a short story set in the world of one my 3 novels in 3 months stories. It's actually the 1st chapter pulled off and made into it's own story so the POV character is Esme.

And, well. Hmm. Esme has a jillion regrets that she more or less nods to and then strides right past. I think her biggest regret (which will be solved in the novel this chapter came off of) was not finding a way of dealing with the parasitic X'rx that almost ate her brain.

But in this story right now her big regret is that her girlfriend Tanya isn't as invested in their relationship as Esme is. Not that Esme's going to show it. She's just haring off all over the station trying to find a new medical scanner for Tanya since Tanya's broke. *grin* Esme's not as opaque as she likes to think she is. Especially since the trade she worked out to get said scanner is to have the local Stitch'n'Bitch crew knit a cuddle toy for a sick baby bat-alien. XD

I LOVED Wonder Woman. It comes out in BluRay on my birthday here and I've already asked for it as a present. :D

Writing Lego Batman will be a challenge--good luck with that!

This sounds like such a lovely story and Esme sounds so great!

The Lego Batman story came together okay! I was kind of hoping it would go in the direction that allowed me to write Lego porn, just for the cracky hilarity of it, but Clark and Bruce are really not at that stage... I'm just lucky to get them closer to friendship!
