Very good question you pose… I’m not sure even Tara has the answer.
Tigerkid – I’m glad you liked the Willow babble… I actually cut it down… it used to be this ridiculously long inner-monologue where Willow briefly comes to the horrifying conclusion that Tara joined the Peace Corps overnight and was somewhere in Guam feeding needy “Guamians”. But I felt it had just gotten too silly, so I pulled it back to something more brief and believable… I hope.
kisstheviolets – Poor Willow… she really is suffering in this story isn’t she? Well, hopefully things will work out for the best in the end.
Irishgrl3 – I’m not sure Tara is thinking about Willow at all… that’s the problem. Maybe Lisa will get the stick removed from her ass and do a little coercion on Will’s behalf. Then again, maybe not.
thebardgirl – Well, Willow isn’t the towel-throwing type. Not only because she’s tenacious… but also because she’s clinging to a hope… wait.. that’s the definition of tenacious…. Well, the clinging part anyway… Will’s a little desperate for this to work out. Let’s hope for her mental/emotional survival, it does.
JustSkipIt – I don’t think that Tara is screening Willow. Willow only called once, and Tara missed it. I think that if Tara had answered the call initially… the angst wouldn’t be as… well... angsty. You’re right though, Tara doesn’t know what she wants… and she had better figure it out… for both their sakes.
WillowPowered – I think Willow really needs a hug. Anyone have a hug for Willow?
veiled isis moon – I agree… Man! I wish Tara would poo or get off the pot! Crazy lady... she makes my writing muscle hurt.
shuyaku – I warn everyone now… this story is gonna get darker before it gets lighter. Enjoy!
terra21 – The most common response I’ve gotten to this story… whether here or in email is this “Wow, it’s like you’re writing my life!” I am trying to make this story as painfully real as possible… and most of the time in real life, the people you wish would behave in one way, behave in exactly the opposite… and it’s really aggravating. I’m surprised I haven’t gotten any other “Tara is pissing me off” notices. As much as I love Tara… it’s interesting to take her down this path… and I like that I’m evoking strong responses… frankly, in this story, she’s pissing me off too. It’s really hard to write a character who, by their nature, does not want to explore change. They kind of stagnate and it’s like pulling teeth to get them to move. But it sure makes for interesting reading, eh?
Until next time!
