Hoover. I loved it so much when I was in elementary school; I remember carrying it around with me in a bag.<br /><br />Looking at it from modern ideas of a MG or YA book, it doesn't fit. The story is told from the POV of an adult, Dr. Theo Leslie, and it's her story as much as it is that of Karen Orlov, the orphan she finds, protects, and mentors.<br /><br />My conscious mind had forgotten it, but my subconscious seems to have absorbed it.<br /><br />I had one of my weird writery dreams this morning, where I'm not so much a part of the action as directing it, making choices based on how to make it a better story. Like in this case, to change the protagonist's job from writer to jewelry designer.<br /><br />And then I woke up.<br /><br />When I did, I immediately started turning the plot around, to see how it would work as an actul book. Pretty well, actually; there's a beginning, a middle, and end, a couple of strong conflicts. (This isn't always the case.) But I also saw that it wasn't a viable YA book, which I'd been mentally plotting it as, because the adult was the protagonist rather than the teenager she protects and mentors.<br /><br />And then I began to laugh. "Oh my god, it's <em>The Rains of Eridan</em>."<br /><br />A quarter of a century later, and that story is still in the back of my mind.<br /><br />Obviously, I need to track down a copy.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=540935" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540935.html writing life public 1 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540757.html Sun, 17 Jun 2012 08:07:46 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540757.html 1,803 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 16<br />wtd: 9,016<br />mtd: 35,544<br />ytd: 66,514<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=540757" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540757.html cailyn & raife camp nanowrimo daily words public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540469.html Sat, 16 Jun 2012 05:10:45 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540469.html <strong>Wednesday</strong><br />1,800 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 13<br />wtd: 3,604<br />mtd: 30,132<br />ytd: 61,102<br /><br /><strong>Thursday</strong><br />1,801 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 14<br />wtd: 5,405<br />mtd: 31,933<br />ytd: 62,903<br /><br /><strong>Friday</strong><br />1,808 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em><br />days: 15<br />wtd: 7,213<br />mtd: 33,741<br />ytd: 64,711<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=540469" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540469.html daily words camp nanowrimo cailyn & raife public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540177.html Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:22:51 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540177.html 904 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 12<br />wtd: 1,804<br />mtd: 28,332<br />ytd: 59,302<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=540177" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540177.html daily words camp nanowrimo cailyn & raife public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540067.html Tue, 12 Jun 2012 07:23:26 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540067.html 900 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 11<br />wtd: 900<br />mtd: 27,428<br />ytd: 58,398<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=540067" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/540067.html daily words camp nanowrimo cailyn & raife public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539893.html Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:54:19 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539893.html <strong>Saturday</strong><br />1,810 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em><br />days: 9<br />wtd: 9,065<br />mtd: 24,725<br />ytd: 55,695<br /><br /><strong>Sunday</strong><br />1,803 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em><br />days: 10<br />wtd: 10,868<br />mtd: 26,528<br />ytd: 57,498<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=539893" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539893.html daily words cailyn & raife camp nanowrimo public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539448.html Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:24:57 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539448.html Since I'm going on a trip starting the 21st, I've decided that the sensible thing is to do an abbreviated NaNoWriMo for Camp. 1,667 words times 20 days is 33,340, so that's the goal for before I leave.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kit_r_writing&ditemid=539448" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539448.html camp nanowrimo public 0 https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539204.html Sat, 09 Jun 2012 21:20:25 GMT https://kit-r-writing.dreamwidth.org/539204.html 1,800 words in <em>Stolen Magic</em>.<br />days: 8<br />wtd: 7,255<br />mtd: 22,915<br />ytd: 53,885<br /><br />Grades were finally posted online;
