nightdog_barksBright sun -- so nice after yesterday's gloom! 60 degrees (15.55 C), supposed to go up to 74 today, which should be really pleasant.
Hm, need to make some coffee. In the meantime, have a photo of squirrels with coconut shells on their heads. Hee.

3. Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.
I'm not sure about this advice. I was brought up reading Biggles books, and characters were always blurting, gasping, interjecting etc.
I miss those days of innocence when a man could ejaculate loudly in front of his friends without it raising eyebrows.
LOL!

I loved the one about description being an opinion about the world, because that's one of my favorite tricks. Let a character describe what she sees and you will learn a lot about who she is, how she thinks.

ETA that in any event it may have to wait for a less windy day. I'm almost getting motion sick right now. :-P
