Prelude babble:
I'm still managing somehow to hammer out a page or two every day at lunch. The danger is that I get so involved, I'm always running the risk of getting back to the office late!
Weirdly, Julia is starting to come alive for me now. She is starting, at last, to tell me what she wants to do and how she wants to act, to the point where I've actually had to rewrite some lines. Also, without being aware of it, I have been laying the groundwork for explaining why she abandoned Spike. I mean, the answer is still the obvious one (and not "She was a rotten coward", no), but unconsciously I've been creating an explanation behind the plain answer. I hope it ends up being acceptable, but then, I think nearly any explanation of so fleeting and mysterious a character as Julia would be acceptable to most people, as long as I didn't blatantly make her what she isn't.
