Mmm... You and Sam with your maps. I feel so sad for John!! But I like him already. It's a tad "A Farewell to Arms," isn't it? Lovely. Tho hopefully not so dreadfully depressing...
I like the phrase "very exclusive public school." =)
Do you find it hard to write Hagrid? I've only done one chapter with him so far, but I found his dialect dreadfully difficult...
Hooray-- glad you're enjoying it! And we do have a beautiful map, which Sally drew for us. If you'd like to see I can email it to you, but it's BIG-- will take forever to download.Yup-- Hagrid's tricky, no doubt. Whenever Hagrid talks in this story, Sally (essayel) gets the final say, but so far, she hasn't changed my wording much. I''m American, but I spend lots of time with English folk musicians, and as much time as I can afford(every couple of summers) in the north of England and the Scottish borders. I sort of keep a Yorkshire-ish accent in my head when I write him. Sally's Welsh, lives in Abergavenny-- she just has an amazing ear for dialogue in general.
Either one of us, probably Sally for choice, would be glad to look over your Hagrid's speeches!
