I want to finish Reve's story next... I'm going to work on it as much as I can this week, but we're beginning a short story in Creative Writing and I think that might get in the way. -- But after Reve's story is done then I'll finally go back to work on Claris.. after I finish the first part of that, I think I'll switch off between stories. You know, write some of one thing one week, then write some of another thing another week, et cetera. I don't know how well that will work, but I'll try.

I'm using Kaitlyn as my main character in my short story.. mostly because Ms. G (my teacher--who is also my sadistic English teacher) told us to use a character we were comfortable with, and (aside from Claris) there is no one I'm more comfortable with than Kaitlyn. ^^; Despite the fact that we are actually very different (she is way more idealistic than I'll ever be..nicer too.. among other things^^;)..

My justification for all the men liking Kaitlyn the way they do is that they all have something in common..they want a mother. ^^; Aegis and Etienne both never knew their mothers (Etienne's died giving birth to him; Aegis's mother died of illness) and Reve just has an Oedipus complex with his.. and Kaitlyn is extremely mothering. They all pretty much want someone to take care of them, and they know that Kaitlyn can do that...it's probably the strongest with Reve and Etienne.. though maybe somewhat stronger with Reve, because Reve HAD a mother, and he loved his mom a _lot_..and Kaitlyn is a lot like her, even down to physical resemblance. ^^;; But Etienne is also just a little boy who wants his mommy to hold him, too. =p

ETIENNE: You're making me sound like a pansy.

LYN: But you are :D

ETIENNE: I'm going to take this time to reiterate that I hate you.
