So I went to the movies, Carrie Fisher was someone I admired when I was a kid, my childhood was always something of a horror story to me, but her and Mark Hamill for whatever reason made me feel like it was OK to say, "I'm a Nerd, got a problem?" The truth is that I didn't know how much the woman meant to my childhood and my life, until she was suddenly gone from it, I never knew her personally, but all those times I looked on Twitter while I was recovering from surgery, she was posting some cryptic message that we had to solve in order to get what she was saying. It was kind of a comforting that she would post something so strange, yet the fact that when people complained about her age, she suddenly liked what I said about her.
"Carrie Fisher is like Fine Wine, only gets better as she gets older," I think that was what I posted and suddenly I get a like and the question of what I was drinking, kind of hard when you just had cervix surgery and on painkiller, but it was kind of nice to know someone liked what I was posting. I did not care really what some trolls were saying, she was the queen of just shutting a bunch of idiotic trolls up and making them realize she was not going to play their game.
The truth remains that if I publish, this no name author just decided to post one thing dedicated to her because honestly, one of my characters was modeled after her and truthfully, it fits, a really interesting character at that. I was adding her in back in 2016 and finally put her in the story just recently. Though Carrie Fisher and a few others are a mix of personalities, but I think Ripple the Vixen Mage is going to do just fine at the moment with that "I'm hard to understand," kind of mood that I was just happy to say, "Yeah, I was kind of watching Star Wars interviews when I was writing."
The truth is that I was asked if I wanted an actor to play a character, and I was joking when I said, well, Boyega would make a great Thadeus Belsom and Mark Hamill would make for an amazing voice for a dragon mage. So that is my two cents on that little goofy question in my writer's group. Not that Mark Hamill would voice a large overgrown fire breathing handbag who thinks that whole of my world is made up with crazy critters is worth a rescue.
Honestly though, when I think about my day today and that I just decided to walk around, I took pictures and spent my time wondering what I should do for 2018 and finalize my draft for editing. Gods, I'm still can't believe the first half of my book is almos finished.
