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!
All the better reason to kill her off. oops. did I say that out loud? :-)
...but seriously... that’s what makes the story that much more gripping. When a character you really liked suddenly gets whacked by the writer. Kinda ticks you off.
Like when they whacked Edgar on 24. It was just *wrong*.
So killing her and framing him for it...well, I just really hate to do that to the poor guy.
On the other hand, during the days I was writing the murderer's standpoint, I couldn’t wait to take an axe to her, so I guess it’s all a matter of perspective.
See, this is why I could never be a decent TV writer, I’m thinking. I don’t think I could have killed Edgar.
*snif*
Or various “Firefly” characters. Grrrr.
They’re all on strike now anyway.
Or point of view. Maybe do it but from an entirely different POV from a different or new character.
Beats me. I’m just making this up as I go along. And I’m not to be trusted since I’m a notoriously poor writer of story and plot. I couldn’t make a story work if Steven King gave me the outline. :-)
I’ll probably write the murder from either the victim’s POV or the murderer’s...so it’ll be OK.
It’ll just be awfully painful when I switch back to the husband’s POV. But I guess pain is good.
Right now they’re still in a happy place ten years in the past, though, so I won’t have to worry about it for another day or two.
Probably I’ll end up writing the murder on a Sunday again. I thought I might get to it last weekend, but then all the back stories started piling up and begging to be told.
Can you use a fireplace poker in it? :-)
And duct tape. That would be good.
I’m writing a story about the past too, in addition to my Nano story, but I haven’t gotten anywhere with it lately.
What can you buy at Home Depot? That plays into this a bit.
Duct tape...yeah...can do that...
Ooh. Actually, some already exists in the story. It’d even have some fingerprints on it.
Exactly what I wanted! Thanks! Rose shared some online info she found and I forgot to bookmark the links.
I found her old freepmail based on the date of that post and now have the sites bookmarks!
Thank you again!
Home Depot sells fireplace stuff. Like pokers and such. Makes nasty head wounds. Trust me on that.
A latent print on the cardboard that comes off at the end of the roll of duct tape. There’s only one way for that print to get there. Just a thought.
Very quick!
She’ll be more comfortable at home.
*shudder*
Oh yeah. Forgot you have real life experience with this stuff now.
I can use it, though...
Well as a guy, I think that when he was in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley, and did what he did, he demonstrated that he was an idiot.
They're just taking November off to do Nanowrimo.
Power tools. Drills, skills saws, etc.
Say he started this home improvement project and realized he was in over his head. She kept nagging him about getting it done and he snapped.
Or, maybe I've said too much...
oh well...
It’s spam o’clock somewhere...
