The Armadillo Files, Episode 21 — Featuring Geoff Le Pard

Great chapter Teagan! I had to do some catching up but it looks like a solution might be brewing.

You’ve reached The Armadillo Files. Stand by for zaniness.

The kind of spontaneous storytelling I do with my blog serials can lead to paradoxical problems — especially when you’re writing at break-neck speed, the way I’ve had to do The Armadillo Files. I accidently dug that kind of hole for myself when I brought in Henry Apesly’s predicament with Sally Bowen. After I posted that episode, I realized that I can’t save both Fang and Marie Browning. However, I there’s no going back, after I’ve posted a chapter. So what to do? How do I write my way out of this one?

The answer is, that it takes a lot of explaining — and that is what happens in today’s chapter. There’s no action, and a lot of dialogue explaining the conundrum. I hope I don’t lose you along the way.

Random Reader Things

The threethings that drive this episode are from a friend and former colleague, Alford Kindred. He doesn’t have a blog, but if you’re interested in connecting with someone who has terrific mentoring and coaching skills (particularly where motivating kids is concerned), you can find Alford’s profile on LinkedIn. His random reader things are Resilience, Transparent, and Willie Foo Foo.

As sometimes happens with my “3 Things” method of storytelling, the conversation about the random reader things brought a fourth thing that I couldn’t resist adding. This time it came from discussing transparent and the difficulties of getting complete information — “The truth is there.”
