21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?

Out of 50+ characters, only two of them had children: Jeff and Gideon. They both have sons. Jeff's son Teddy was eight when I was writing about them, he'd be ten or eleven now, and Gideon's son Aaron wasn't even his son, he was his ex-wife's son by a different man, and he was only four when Rachel basically passed him off to Gideon so she could go to rehab.

As to how well I write them, well. I don't have a lot of experience with children so I can't really tell. In fact, when I was writing the both of them, the last experience I had with children in that age group was with my cousins, and that was years and years prior. I didn't meet Kenzie and Hunter until the summer after kittens-and-flowers happened. I always felt like Kait wrote Aaron better than I did. I can't think of anything specific I would change if I tried to write them now, though, so I did as well as I could, I guess.


22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you've never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.

Um! I don't really-- well, okay, since I'm already talking about him, I wanted to write about Jeff, the suit-and-tie every day kind of guy, having no idea whatsoever what to do when he and Teddy visit Milo's farm, and Milo would make fun of him before throwing a pair of overalls at him, and I think he would get chased around by a chicken. And by the end of the day they'll have picked like six gallons of strawberries and Jeff will have dirt under his fingernails and his ears will be sunburned, but not Teddy's, because of course Dad remembers the sunscreen for his kid but forgets to put any on himself, and every time Milo looks at him he just starts smiling this goofy-ass smile because he never thought he'd get the accountant that far out of his element and he's kind of adorable.

Just, the idea of Jeff with sunburned ears is beyond cute to me and I can't explain why. Probably with a smudge of dirt on his cheek, too. And Teddy would have such a blast running around Milo's farm.


Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend

Dear Heather,

Hey, haven't I already written to you in this meme? xD Yeah, and it looks like I'll be writing to you at least one more time, too. It's because you're too awesome to address only once.

Is this heat killing you like it's killing me? I just want to melt into the floor. It's not a very productive feeling. Not that I'm a very productive person. You have been very productive lately, though.

Every time I remember that you're writing me birthday fic, I flail around like Kermit in that icon for a couple of seconds. :D

I'm going to go stick my head in the freezer now. Love you! ♥

Love,
Dani


Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet

Dear Zachary Quinto,

You are made of awesome. I bet if we got coffee together or something that would be one of the more memorable events of my life. I would probably devolve into a pathetic fangirl but I bet you're used to that by now.

Thank you for being such a perfect Spock. I don't think anyone else could have taken over the role from Leonard Nimoy as well as you did. You are fully 85% of why I'm so excited for the sequel. Keep being awesome, okay?

Live long and prosper,
a pathetic fangirl
