sakon76Did the gym again last night. Listened to Elvis, which led afterward to me digging up my 2/3 done Lilo & Stitch crossover with How to Train Your Dragon fic. Which... the words needed minimal tweaking, but they're also a bit flat. Telling as much as showing? I think I've got the characters' voices, but it needs more fleshing out, more tactile sensory description. So I started in on that and got about a third of the way in before my brain turned off.
Raining again today. Have put my spider plant here at work outside on the patio table so it can drink deeply of the skywater. The three African violets I have here are all looking rather perky. The four I have at home, in contrast... the house just doesn't get enough light, and since we got the new windows, the sills are no longer deep enough for them to live there. In fact, I think I've managed to kill another one of the violets. I'm debating just bringing the rest in and letting them live in my office from now on. I've a skylight over my desk; no ambient light shortage here....
