Cancer Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Re: The Last Word Yes, in both places, I think. And fresh coconut, which is immensely better than the dried stuff. And lots of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Re: The Last Word I could live in Hawaii happily, I think. Some people there complain about the isolation from the mainland, but I sort of got used to that kind of thing as a kid, living around American bases in Europe; when you are an English-only speaker and reader for most of the time (my German was approaching usefulness at the end of our second stay), you are de facto isolated. Rarotonga is below what I would call critical mass. Population 14000+, 31 km in circumference. I'm an academic, and the community is too small to need or support such people there. So I'd have no way to support myself there and stay in my chosen career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Re: The Last Word I've finished writing the first novel and its sequel. I'm 20 pages into the third. Looks like it'll probably be a trilogy; I can't figure out how to get into the deeper story without confusing everyone. It might be a stand-alone, if it's ever written at all. It may all stay in my head as, "I know why these people are different." Who knows? I keep wondering what comes after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
