My folks are gone again, but while they were here my Mom let me tell her pretty much the entire Black Flag saga (at least as much as I know so far, some of the later stories don’t have much plot development done on them yet). Not only that, but my niece Tima sat there and listened to the entire session, *hours* and *hours* worth, of her own free will, with no ulterior reason to hang out and listen to me telling stories that I am aware of.
During the course of this epic storytelling session I realized that Bonnie Anne must have an excellent memory for the stuff people say to her, which should have been obvious from the way she keeps quoting things Silver says back at him, but somehow I didn’t ever make the connection before. That was a writerly thing that I was doing, not a characterly thing that she was doing… or so I thought. But she’s the only one who does do it, so it is a characterly thing.
