I was a little weirded out, but not really. <BR/><BR/>Hey, how about our Neil Gaiman connection. Crazy, huh.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure our paths will cross eventually in this city. Take it easy and good luck with your novel!RobinSlickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744792508763281122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938708.post-1135044954408057582005-12-19T21:15:00.000-05:002005-12-19T21:15:00.000-05:00Hi, Robin, I am Liarbyrd. Let me just say that you...Hi, Robin, I am Liarbyrd. Let me just say that your name was an accident. I have never met you (despite both being in Philly, and apparently in Nano). <BR/><BR/>The character Robin Slick was so named because she was an embezzler (Robbin') and nearly got away with it (Slick). And the "Slick" reminded me of Grace Slick, hence the music connection. Everything about the character was fabricated. <BRNanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131537740807958804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938708.post-1134832380187571932005-12-17T10:13:00.000-05:002005-12-17T10:13:00.000-05:00I would give the NaNo person the benefit of the do...I would give the NaNo person the benefit of the doubt if my character in her novel was not an aging groupie as well. Not that I'm "aging" har har, but I do have an 18 year old and a 19 year old and I know the names of all of the Beatles so I'm obviously not twenty years old anymore.<BR/><BR/>It's no secret that I hung with rock bands in the past and continue to do so now...in fact it's the RobinSlickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744792508763281122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938708.post-1134831830005480492005-12-17T10:03:00.000-05:002005-12-17T10:03:00.000-05:00Wow.

I'm off to google blog to see what kind of bitchy things I might be doing without my knowledge. <BR/><BR/>But to give the nano writer the benefit of the doubt, maybe your name just glommed onto her subconscious mind. Happens to me sometimes--or I worry that it has. A name for a character seems SOOO perfect, then I wonder where it came from. Did I ever meet someone with that name?

I managed to convince myself I was over-reacting.<BR/><BR/>I also realize by putting the link to her blog in my post, I was giving her recognition she might not deserve...including the fact that up until I just made that post, no one but her immediate friends knew Neil Gaiman published her email.
