look, it's a healthy ice cream dinner, see? I put apples, pistachios, and flaxseed in it
I have too many names for the Nettled protagonist—or is that title for a chapter and the novel is Wild Swan Chase?—and none of them fit her, I am tempted beyond words to write it so the narrator is trying out a different name every chapter, but I think if I do that then I have to have her be the only narrator? and I don't know enough about my plot yet to want to lock in a decision about how many characters are narrators
esp since in both my previous novel-length works (that made it past the 15K mark in actual words on page) I had multiple narrators and a lot more dominos already set up by canon, I have enough to juggle just trying to get all my dominos upright and within knocking-over range of at least two other dominos
ETA: up to 12 squares and one spectacular dirty look from Mila; I reached for the yarn almost the moment she moved from loafing on my ribs to loafing on my shins, you see
