Writing Log - Eek, Nekkidness!
"The Old Woman By The Sea" Writing Log
New words: Embarrassingly few - 226
Total words: 2,337
Overused word: he
Gratuitous word: skewed
Type of scene: transit
Challenge(s): Figuring out what word a culture without shame in nudity would use for it.
Which street performers group is it anyways?The collapsing and unfolding patterns of a group of five female acrobats, bare except for artistic swirls of paint
Researched: Vicinages, personages, public transit, and shops. Working in a shared world requires more of that.
Notes: I really think "bare" carries the right connotations for a person without clothes on. We use bare to describe arms, and skin, and other unweighted things--which we don't use nude or naked for. Still need to find an unfreighted term for nudists. Naturalists? Barists (one could have barist baristas!)? Barers sounds awkward.
Other writingy stuff:
