Wow, Moby Dick, Holmes, AND Literary Letters--that's a lot! But fun.
Gorgeous Man (capitalization in the original; I bet he is either the villain or the romantic lead or possibly both) --LOL!
only to promptly crash int a haberdashery! --Those haberdasheries! Always appearing in the most inconvenient and crash-able places!
"I am never particularly interested in what my characters do; I am always interested in why they do it" --I always feel like a philistine, because I *do* care what the characters do. The why is an absolutely vital piece ... but I care about the actions too. Which isn't to say I need particular actions or want to avoid others--I could be interested (or fail to be interested) in almost anything, but somehow that feels different from not being interested in the specifics. ... IDK I think I'm getting hung up on semantics.
