Stuff Your Kindle Day went hard. I had no idea.
I hope y’all like the books. I hope you let me know about it.
Men Writing Women
The real problem with writing women is I have no idea what any of y’all’s clothing is called. I just read through a website with a hundred and fifty different kinds of sleeve, and I’m still about to call them ‘arm-hole-thingies but long.’
Free books
Mara and BH are free on Kindle for a few days.
Neil Gaiman
Ran across these notes from Neil Gaiman. I think there’s some wisdom in here.
Heroes with a halfshell
I’m trying to figure out a way to make thrown turtles a realistic weapon but not coming up with anything.
DnD
Fire BALL
I think fireball, the spell, should get stronger the more often characters cast it. Neglect that useless messaging of casting it less. Make it grow unnaturally. Unleash the hydra.
A Great Day in History
Today in the third age, the fellowship left Rivendell.
CE
Merry Christmas Eve, all.
The Duel
Suppose you had to pick a muppet to fight to the death, but the muppet got to pick the contest.
So you might choose Animal, but Animal could then pick ‘cocaine’ as the contest and you would die.
I don’t know who I would go for. Maybe Fozzy? Like, he’s a bear but a little one.
Milton
The problem with Paradise Lost is that the devil asks people to eat apples, and we don’t relate to that as a temptation. Your doctor asks you to eat more apples. You say no.
If the serpent showed up and told Eve she’d look amazing in racing leathers forever and Adam about supercharged liter bikes, there would be falls from grace.
Especially if the bike had a 310 rear tire.
Now, I understand. A 310 rear is functionally unnecessary on a sport bike. Don’t do it, right?
You just reenacted Adam’s internal monologue before the fall.
