Maybe try again for better reactions. 😛 You’ll get a comment eventually.

Are you saying this exercise isn’t working for you? If so, don’t worry about it. Different systems work for different people.

No, I’m not saying that doesn’t work for me. I’m saying it worked for me and that’s why I’m offering it.
Though, different systems work for different people, I agree. So take a pick. Ezra has presented another option. 😛

millions of blue blistering barnacles!

Yes! XD I love that one. And “Thundering Typhoons”.
Though I believe it was “billions”… 😛

If anyone reads the Tintin books or has seen the movie, Captain Haddock is my best example of this.

And what’s ridiculous is that he’s so totally messed up, while Tintin is the flawless boy scout. And they’re best friends. XD

But, I don’t see a problem with scootch. Does the rhyming not fit? Or are you just against its validity of being a word?

Not officially joining. But I’m still trying to finish my book within the month of November.

You’re having a crisis over your existence, to break it down simply.

@daeus: I had that moment too. It’s actually about a color blind person in a dystopian world divided by colors. I wouldn’t do a Google for that, though. It probably wouldn’t come up. Though if you look up his name, you should find a website.

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! 🙂 Yeah, both those lines were not sitting quite well. I’ll make those changes.
Do you think there’s a better word with the same syllables I can use instead of “harmless”?
