Round 12.5, Hour 6

[lolmac]

How go the ambiguous but charming foreign accents?  The steady waterfall of words?  The sweet singing of the fish?

I think I need to have lunch. It's like 2pm here and my brain has stopped working. Maybe food will help :D

Eat lunch! Highly recommended!

[lolmac]

Good idea! It's two hours till your first post, so lunch would be very good. Not so good here, of course, where it's 10 pm.

No waterfalls of words or singing fish, sadly.

[lolmac]

Darn. Better luck this hour!

[juliet316]

I hope.

I have heard the penguins singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.

I shall wear white flannel bedsheets, and dance upon the beach.

Shall I tuck my hair 'neath fez? Do I dare to throw a peach?

[lolmac]

Peach? See icon.

I grow old - I grow old -
I shall have the wrinkly edges of the Space-Time continuum rolled.

I am giggling too hard. I'd think we were the worst thing to happen to Eliot, but then there's this work of genius. (http://www.modernhumorist.com/mh/0005/anagram/)

The Basho one is priceless.

or alas, to me.

I think they're pretty squawky though, so we're probably not missing much.

I made some revisions. Mostly making sure that things were consistent. Like pronouns, since one of my characters changed sex the moment I started thinking about who she was and what she was really up to, and she suddenly became quite the sneaky fox of a Soviet scientist instead of quite the avuncular bumbler of a Soviet scientist.

It'd be easier if I just left them one-dimensional!

No, it really wouldn't. Dull characters are harder to write (at least they are for me). They're so dull.

You have a point; it's actually much easier to write characters who have something... some oomph. Something I can connect to emotionally.

I've written about 500 words on one of the prompts. Now I'm looking into those singing penguins.

And since I didn't get a chance to say it last post: FEZ!!

[juliet316]

DEAD!
