I’ve posted the fourth and fifth chapters of Technical Consultant, my little story about bipolar author Carrie Severide and her fling as a technical consultant for actor Robert Bierce (a thinly disguised Richard Armitage).
I knew actually going to London and meeting Richard Armitage in the flesh would either kick new life into this story or kick it to the curb. And I’m afraid it’s the latter. My plan is to go back to an earlier idea about a bipolar heroine that is rooted firmly in reality—less fan-girl fantasy come true, more grit and hardship. While I still love Technical Consultant for its Heaving Bosom potential, I want to do something else now.
Thanks to everyone who nagged me to keep writing this story. I’m forever grateful for your interest and enthusiasm. I hope these last two offerings are satisfactory.

I’m glad you shared this much with us. Seeing him act live also dramatically changed things for me, although I wouldn’t describe it as either ramping it up or kicking it to the curb — my feelings are more intense but very different than they were. If the Armitage thing helped you write and the fantasies made you happy, I think it served its purpose. (And it got me to your blog!)
