Have you read Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever"? It's a short story. I thought of it when you mentioned your story with two female protagonists who won't talk to each other.
Oddly, I'm working on my first male protagonist (I often have a mix of characters, but in my Path trilogy, it was largely a female's story). Anyhow, I'm having trouble with him. Part of it is that he doesn't really care about the things the way I think women do. And so what's been difficult is finding the real source of conflict. I don't know if it's entrirely a gender thing , or whether he's just that way. Time will tell, I suppose.
I saw that you're going to Worldcon. Are you going to World Fantasy too? HOpe so. Like to see you in person and I won't make Worldcon.
