All day I've been running through different scenarios for my novella Kasper Clarke, testing them in my mind, examining them from different angles to see how they'd fit in. . . . Obsessing, basically.
So here's something lighter:
My four-year-old asked me to test her.
"Okay, count backwards from 20 to zero," I said.
This she did, effortlessly.
"What comes after Q in the alphabet?"
"R!"
"And what comes before L?"
This took a little thought, but she got there in the end. "K!"
"Very good. Um. Oh, I know, who is Luke Skywalker's dad?"
And this child, who I know has never seen a Star Wars film, said "Darth Vadar!"
On seeing my puzzled expression, she grinned and added, "Nice try, Dad."
