Make it hurt, damn it

Note to self from the middle of this novel's climax:

Chasing two armed men, you definitely go armed yourself, and while these may be lower-rank Orators they won’t be idiots--this is not a MUNCLE episode, and they are not stupid Thrushes. Give them credit for native intelligence and survival instincts!

Hear, hear! Worth foes make your hero worthy, too. :P

*g* Canum is so going to hate me when this book is done.

Is that how you measure the success of a book? :D

[clarentine]

I think I measure success by how many people tell me they cried--or winced, or said ouch, or whatever--for the characters' pain. *g*

That's probably be a better yardstick. In my book it is anyway. *g*
