Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
no!

Control-n wins again.
I’m still not sure it would hurt more to find out she wasn’t as innocent as she appeared than it would for him to feel like he had a hand in her destruction.
It’s all good...just some possibilities are easier to write. ;-)
So I'm ready. Bring on Nov!
I don’t like that trend either. I like space opera and things with adventures, not transhuman silliness. Bleah.
Space opera? Sopranos in spacesuits? lol
Heee.
“Space opera” is slang for the science fiction sub-genre that is more concerned with adventure and plot than accurate science or deep social meaning. “People living and working in space” is a good definition. “Firefly”, the works of Robert Heinlein, the original Star Trek are good examples of space opera.
is there a linky I can look at?? Have not heard of Scrivener...I DO have another program to use, but is kind of hard to use...
I *is* a Machead!! Yay me!
Whew. Got the bathrooms mostly scrubbed. Still need to mop the floors and a second pass, with chlorox, on the shower, but what an improvement.
So...I know everyone was just talking about what makes interesting characters...did y'all talk about interesting villains? I need a villain!!!
I cleaned up earlier too, went over it twice. I used to get sick a lot, so I’m kind of OCD about germs.
You get a 30-day trial. Download it and mess with it and see what you think. It’s got some limitations but I do like it.
Heh...30 days starting now could be a bit of motivation to finish NaNo early, huh? Eek!
My villain is more icky than evil, I think. He feels like he didn’t get the life he deserved and therefore doesn’t feel like it’s much of a crime to take advantage of people who (he thinks) look down on him. He sees it as a sort of justice. He’s a pretty bitter person.
Ok - my villians believe they are being completely reasonable. They are working within a belief system that is shared by billions. They believe that any government that attempts to place secular law above their holy law is a government of oppression... and they are obligated to to fight against it. Islamofascists... it’s almost too easy.
I went ahead and bought it. It’s only $35 bucks. Completely worth it to me.
I has dishwasher!
I is happy.
