There was a question asked: "Where did your plot bunny originate?"
I answered: "I got my idea from an article in a drinking guide."
I'm not kidding. Specifically it's the Diffords Guide to Drinking Issue #2. Page 24. I won't say what the article was talking about here because it would give away what I hope to be a significant part of the plot. But if you're absolutely dying to know, well, now you have the information to look it up.
And what was I doing with a drinking guide since I almost never drink at all? The guide looked pretty on the magazine stand, so I bought it.
I also have a title in mind. It would make an alchemist and a geologist very happy.
Upcoming posts to look forward to: Later today: A summary of the NH kick-off party in Manchester. Tomorrow: Finally, revealing the title and general premise after much muse-slapping and furtive secrecy.
