It is time to stop writing for the night when "wordless assurances" comes off one's fingers as "worldless asses" and then you have to squint at it to see what's wrong.

ETA: And one can't keep track of its pronouns for an entire sentence. Yarg.

I think one is as ready to go to my bed as you are.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

As flattering as that is, my dear Mer, I am not at all ready to go to your bed.

*snerk*

I was playing along with the pronoun game, as I well know.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Yes, they did realize that, but he is a smartass.

I like worldless asses. That phrase needs to go into something...

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Space opera, naturally.

"All right, cadets! I want to see your worldless asses on that transport by five hundred standard!"

Fredric Brown once wrote a short short sf story with the punchline, "Why are there more horse's asteroids than horses?"

Well, and I now have notes in my journal that start with "space opera for Mia" (that is, copperwise), but not with that as a punchline. Just included in the text.

This is me going to bed. Really.

[talimena.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I hope you've gone t bed (I know I should have long since), but I love the image of theses poor worldless asses.

[everyonesakitty.livejournal.com]

LOL :D

Ass in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

[scottjames.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Maybe I should go to bed, too, huh?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Ya think?

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

I loved worldless asses

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

There is a school of thought that suggests that is the point where one ought to start writing. *g*

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

And in fact I did have to drag the brain away from three separate stories, once running back to jot down a few notes. Haven't looked at them yet. Hope they're coherent still.

I don't, if I got worldless asses I think that might be the point where I started really working hard for the evening. It just feels like too good a phrase to give up.

As I said in response to another comment, I jotted notes on a story before keeling over.

But with the way my body works, the keeling over part is not a metaphor; there is only so far I can push on once the body has called time.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

joted notes good. keeling over bad. I'd much rather the M'ris doesn't keel over at all.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Many plans around here are structured around making sure I don't keel over. It's a consideration.
