Tell Me Your Name !

When I first wanted to be a writer (waaay back in the day) I thought the fun part would be giving characters names and making up serial names and that that is what most of my time would be send doing. I’ve come to the point where characters names are the hardest part for me. I wish a character could just tell me what their name is suppose to be.

I’m going to reveal a little bit about the Meanwhile novella which is a 3-4 chapter novella about Luce. That’s all I’m going to say for now. I'm not going to say how old (or young?) he is and if this is even canon. I bring up this serial to say there are some new characters in this serial who do not have names and are literally being called Female A or Male A right now. I actually have half a mind to keep them like that and make it a weird character choice.


Names are especially hard with the Vice world because I don't want to use too conventional names, but I also don't want them to be something crazy. Anyway...all that is to say there may be some of your names sprinkled into these novellas....I actually really wanted to name a character Fiona, but I won't.
 

Chapter 24

This chapter was really a transition chapter from the fall out of the accident to Rhett getting his job back. Also, it's mentioned in internal dialogue that Rhett and Juliana fight a lot and I wanted to show a little bit of that with them in the diner.

 

I'll admit there are a lot of intimate scenes with Rhett and Juliana in this because even though they don't have their relationship together they have really good bedroom times. Juliana's sexual experiences in UL were so toxic and I really wanted Rhett to...*ahem* get the job done. 

Chapter 25 + Chapter 26

This is a double chapter post, but only because Chapter 26 is a shortie and I couldn't figure out how to fit it in. 

 

Recap

Juliana spends 8 days in jail after taking the blame for the car accident after Amber and Wes' wedding. She and Rhett are on thin ice when he announces he's been reassigned to Kodiak, Alaska. His cohort (and handstand pushup) friend Bethany Whitlow and his other class members wrote him letters of support for him to get the assignment.

 Rocket tries to get Rhett to talk to her for her book before he leaves but he refuses. She reminds him of how dangerous it is in Alaska and Rhett realizes he's never been honest about that part of his job. When Rhett leaves Juliana sticks a needle in her arm.

This isn't my favorite chapter or anything, but I  really like chapter 25 because it was a turning point for me writing wise. After I wrote this I could finally see where I was going and how I was going to get there.
