It really seemed like a good idea. Really, it did.

I cruised celebrity sites today seeking description inspiration for my major characters. I figured if I could just find that perfect set of eyes, that perfect expression, I'd be able to make my characters live!!! What a dumb-dumb. Celebrities are just way too pretty, way too make-up-y. Aaargh. All I got out of the activity was a severe case of surfhead.

*blinks rapidly to clear fuzzy vision*

Here's a thought: How about I trust the creative flow that got me writing in the first place???

*shakes head at self*

Dude, I'm from California. Saying dude is like breathing. Dude, keeping "dude" out of The Unmagicked has been difficult. Last night's rough draft:

Duke Verzona: Dude, Allura, you're like, a CAT.
Allura: Yeah, dude.
Duke Verzona: RightEOUS.

Dude. I giggled muchly.

That's worse than my characters continually quoting Princess Bride (which they will do until I see that movie again. *sigh)

"Trust creative flow..."

That would make a new character saying dude...
(for those exciting-sparkly-straight-from-the-creative-juices-characters) - a bit like "Beam me up, Scotty."

Yeah, dude! Or like "Use the Force."

...can't even post when you think no one's watching - cos they are...!

Anyway, I guess the friendslist is dead hereabouts. We now have the dudelist
