Melly and Mossie are my favourite ongoing story characters. I'm hoping I can get a proper children's novel cobbled together about them; thus far, I've only written bits and pieces about their lives.

Melly is a young girl (I've been writing her at age eight, but I might bump it up a bit) who lives with her father, twenty-six year old Thomas Wright. Rather than calling him Dad, though, she calls him Mossie. They have a little apartment above a bakery in a small town. Mossie works as a night janitor for an office building. While he's away, Melly is watched over by Clare, who lives down the street in a little rented house. Her uncle, whom she calls Brother Taxes, used to watch her, but he can't now that Mossie's doing the night shift.

The novel would mostly be about her relationship with the adults in her life--particularly her father, mother, and Clare--and the overall message would be about change. While sometimes it's possible to alter the changes going on around a person, sometimes things simply have to become different--and that's all right. It's a lesson that took a long time for me to learn, heh.

On this page, I'll just put up a few of the bits and pieces, and perhaps some of the notes on the characters.

Melly's Name--A bit about Melly Wright's many names, in third person. I don't yet know whether I want the story in third or first person.
Melly and Grandma Lori--First person, present tense. She goes on a visit to her mother; it gives a decent look at her grandmother's personality, along with some more of Mossie's.
