George’s Terraformative notes:The planet is a perfect utopia. The trio is celebrating the success of the crops and cataloging native the flora and fauna. The Intrepid Trio can’t see danger lurking just around the corner.
NOTES:
FRicci: Unlike this book. His publisher asked for more pages. It has been two months of me helping George and not making any momentum. Maybe the publisher won’t notice if the entire middle section is missing. George told me how this all will end but getting there is the problem. I don’t have any clue what I’m doing. Why are the middle parts so hard?
HEvans: I disagree. Adam is moving forward, hopeful and naive, but the undercurrent that something is wrong is humming just in the background. You’re doing it. Stop being so mean to yourself. I won’t stand for it.
FRicci: You again.
HEvans: Don’t pretend you don’t love my help.
FRicci: *grumble, grumble*
HEvans: Honestly, Frankie. It’s sounding good. It feels like a G.S. SedarTerraformativenovel, but I can absolutely see your influence now in those last few books. Which might I remind you were some of the best-selling in decades.
FRicci: Those books were a fluke.
HEvans: The Impostor Syndrome is strong with this one.
FRicci: Is this another movie reference I don’t get?
HEvans: It frightens me that I can’t tell if you are kidding. Collette and I are watchingStar Warsfor this precise reason. Can you believe she doesn’t know the big reveal about Darth Vader? I don’t know that I’ve literally ever been so excited about anything. Her little mind is going to explode.
FRicci: Should a six-year-old be watching these?
HEvans: Good point. Let me ask her …
HEvans: She said she’s almost seven and it’s fine. Also, she wants a snack.
FRicci: What else is new?
HEvans: Come join us. Bring popcorn. Her demand, not mine. But I wouldn’t say no.
FRicci: I really need to hit the word count goal.
FRicci: Stop distracting me.
FRicci: I can’t find the words today. It’s so rainy and cozy. I should be curled around a book reading.
FRicci: George is not having a good working day anyway …
FRicci: Where did you go?
HEvans: You told me to stop distracting you.
FRicci: And you listened?
HEvans: I have my moments. George has joined us. Look at this super comfy spot on the couch …
FRicci: Maybe you shouldn’t be letting her watch so much TV.
HEvans: I’ve stopped listening again. Also, I refuse to let this child go through life without understanding pop culture references. It’s sad enough living with you. Imagine I’m Darth Vader, and finish this sentence: No, I am your ___.
FRicci: Biggest nightmare?
