I think I've got it! I've been slogging painfully through Lizardfic--it has a lot of world-building, and it's all very complicated and I've been trying to work it in smoothly--and I just realized that... My protagonist isn't very emotional. And she probably should be,...
Plague!
Of course, when I'm wanting to finish a bunch of writing, I get sick. Isn't that how it always goes? Or is that just me? I also haven't had any caffeine since Friday, and am thinking of making that permanent. I enjoy caffeine, but it's bad for me, and I probably just...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
