I dunno. I like that movie a lot, but it never came to mind while I wrote this scene.
These one sentence time skips aren’t bad, I just have a habit of missing them and then getting confused. Bad habit, that. The whole escape happened so fast and I kept missing things that I had no idea why they were suddenly in the mo…

“For those who don’t understandm, Once upon a side salad, in the floating vegetable continent of Broccolonia, a chicken named Sir Cluckles the Fifth woke up wearing a monocle and speaking fluent Morse code. He wasn’t always so sophisticated—last Tuesday he was just a spoon. Broccolonia was ruled by a jellybean with an MBA named K…

Idk. I’ve already had all my questions about GE answered.
Maybe what his first story idea was? Or what were some of the most impacted books for him growing up?

I just made my first smoothie since our blender almost exploded, over five years ago. I’m so happy.

The Wise Fool is one of my favorites.
Also, that character in the background with more knives than words, that is the first to react to a threat, but the least likely to comment on it. Mikhail Gregovsky from A Light in Zion fit this to a pin. Natan Israeli in Brother Enemy is similar, if more snarky. Smalls from Green Ember is kinda like this to…[Read more]

 but the beginning doesn’t include any huge brave decisions because it’s setting up the status quo.
He could make a minor brave decision like a phone call.Â
If your world has phone calls. -

Yes! Agreed.
At least Martin made the right choice. I would argue his death scene was the most frightening one I’ve written.

Oh really? I love them. It’s so fun to start tying them together in subtle ways.
In the first one, all three end up frequenting the same cafe at different times, and only a few readers pick that up because I never state the name, but I describe the surroundings the same. Things like that.
One of the MC’s works with another…[Read more]

Ooo! Cool!
I did one with the first book in the series and I’ve decided to keep going with it thought the whole trilogy.

Nope, he’s an MC. But it’s a three-way POV, so there are two other MCs.
He’s also an interesting character because of his job…. so he has that going for him.

I know poor Aelic. This is my fourth time though that scene as a draft, (read it several times just for fun) and it still gets me. Ugh.
(I’m wondering what’s happening to Aiden now that Martin believed and died too. It would have been tough to see his brother and his cousin killed like that.)
I know!!! The poor kid! 😱

*concern* Your blender did what now???
I was exaggerating a LITTLE saying that it almost exploded, but the motor actually caught fire and it was billowing horrible black smoke that smelled terrible. We had to put it outside until it stopped. It was bad.
Wow. I hope you used a different blender this time.
I used a food processor lol. Worked pretty well, too. All this time we were going without smoothies we could have been using the food processor.
