The Muse: Stay down here and socialize!
Me: No! There's pigs in Hawaiian shirts!
Him and Uriah, in unison: There's a singing tikki head!


No, it's not costumes; it's the muppets.

On an unrelated note, I may have to grab my camera and just take as many snapshots of costumes as I can in Uptown tomorrow. That's a lot of snapshots.

Back to the Word Mines for Me

Words Friday: 2,741
Total words: 183,246
Reason for length: The Quincy sections are just flying along right now. Also, I couldn't go to Acrobop, so I got more written because of that.
Other writingy stuff: Um. Read some writing newsletters, I think.
Overused word: convivial
Gratuitous word: fichu
Type of scene: A little interlude with a chemist, followed by a visit to a brothel.
Challenge(s): Trying to keep the brothel from straying too far into Spider Robinson happy-whorehouse territory.
In which the chemist likes his job:( longer excerpt than usual )

Notes: I'm having a lot of fun writing these bits. Hopefully that means people will have fun reading them.

Saturday was an unusually productive day for me, too. I got over a thousand words written on the short mystery story that I'm working on (and briefly posted to lj, because I was writing on another person's laptop), did a crit for Critters, redmarked two of my own older pieces of writing for editing changes, and read through two old pieces of writing only to pass judgment that they could not be saved.
