I asked my husband for a one-liner. He said all I should think is a novel. So I did. Thus I am late. Does it still count?
One-Liner Wednesday is a fun prompt

My first character developed after midnight. She has never seen her own face. Her reflective gift/curse is that she has always seen ghosts in the mirror or even the shiny ball when she was three. And the spirits talked to her and sang with her. Her parents thought that she was cute with her little imaginary friends. Tonight I shall dedicate the writing to All Saints Day. I hope it will be a meaningful write. (Word count 1,697 so far)
And it has been snowing since early this morning.
Sorry for the shaking. I was excited to see this beautiful scene. And grateful to have a bit of relief from the drought.
Not much time. I still am developing characters and world building. The family Pensรฉes is nearly made. Popeye (papa), Paris (mama), Olive, Poppy, and now working on her twin, Pepper, the three offspring. Then I need a frienemy like Brutus.
I think they are currently on a spaceship but I’ll need a world. Lots to do before midnight!

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Maybe not my favorite book. Yet there are bits I think will come back to me in memory. Though I am not sure I will look for the next series book.
The characters and plot are a little different than most dystopias. The talents of some of the people are interesting. But let me say, Audio readers need to let us know when we are in a new chapter. I had a hard time figuring out who the point of view was most of the time.
Something I don’t often see in sci-fi/fantasy, but this seems a good genre for it, polyamory. No judgment, just a few people who love each other.
If you want something a little different, this is it. Try it. You might love it.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โelement.โ Use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
The elemental chart brings me to yawns. As crazy as I always was about science, chemistry class about did me in. Never a morning person, chemistry was first period. My teacher was a monotoned speaker. I did still come around for labs. I had a geek for a lab partner. She was fun and taught me well. I think it was due to her that I made a solid C+.
I always thought I could have done so much better if the class was later. If the teacher more excited about the subject matter. And if I could have approached the lessons with more creativity.
Drawing and coloring maps made the geography real. Singing the elements would have helped as little ditties always helped me remember. Games could have solidified information. I wish I was my own teacher!
Oh, nevermind. We all know my element. Creativity. Throw in some yarn and I’m in my element.
Meanwhile, I think I have enough yarn to make one more hat for charity.
No picture of plumbing issues. I don’t want to see it. But my shower is weeks from being done. The floor is finally dry. Now to get rid of the mold that has formed in the wall for years, maybe decades. The plumbing is put together. Once mold free the walls go back up. Meanwhile, I’m sorting
Mostly my aim is to have enough characters and a bit of plot on some kinda world. Three days!!!!! Yikes!!!!
What are you working on?
Found on Facebook:
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book! Kimberly Farr, and Mark Bramhall (Narrators), made this story come to life. I must warn you that when you hear Mark’s voice for most of the book, it is so boring and may even tempt you to quit the book, but stay with it. There is a reason for the way he comes across as a newscaster.
I think I am going to read this again soon, as I miss the main character so much. I miss the dragons!
This book brought in societal issues from WWWII but changes history by inserting dragons as women left the workplace when the soldier came home.
By the way, there is a point in the story where I needed Kleenex. Just saying.
This book plays ‘what if’ very well. The author wrote characters of depth. The plot keeps the reader guessing and wondering. And wishing. When do I get to dragon?
