So, I'm writing a proposal for a series grown out of my story, "The Osteomancer's Son."

Among the dramatis personae are the protagonist's ex, Carmen, and their daughter, Miranda.

I named them Carmen. And Miranda.

This wouldn't make me cringe quite as much if they hadn't already appeared in the story, published two years ago.

ETA: Okay, I must be tired. In the story I actually named her Connie. So I was only about to introduce new error rather than repeat existing error.

NO I DIDN'T KNOW AND NOBODY TOLD ME YOU PEOPLE HATE ME!

Okay, actually, I just checked. Somewhere I must've realized what I was doing and changed her name from Carmen to Connie.

I guess years-ago Greg had right-now Greg's back.

Oh, they were really good! Neil made a mistake in Spirit of Radio, which is kind of a rare thing to catch. Geddy was nailing all the high notes, and they were just rocking. We had a really good time. And Lisa and I are seeing them in Irvine on Sunday!

Cool!

So what happens when Neil makes a mistake? Is it something only a purist would notice, or is it like a trainwreck?

I think you'd probably have to know the song really well to catch it. He just kept playing the same rhythm when the riff changed. In response, Neil looked really pissed, while Alex made goofy faces and laughed.

Turns out I changed it, like, three years ago, so I'm raising alarms over nothing. Wolf! Wolf!

Maybe that was a subsconscious hint as to the subject of the books: Bone Magic versus Brazilian Banana Dance Magic.

I smell Hollywood blockbuster! Get me Penelope Cruz's agent!
