Saturday at the library, myyyy favorite. Today is the wrap-up party for the Summer Reading Program and guess who gets to the work the kids' section!!! {HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE} Before lunch it was really quiet, and I was bad because I was stationed at the crummy computer that's still running IE6 (that's not a typo) and since Google Docs ( Read more... ) -
Names from the Library!
Three small children I encountered today at the library, all from different families: Jack (3ish), Julia (6ish), and Moxon (7ish). Jack and Julia I like, though Jack is so common these days that I'd never use it. Moxon's mother mostly call him Mox. (And I did see it written, so there's no misunderstanding!)

Character Naming Poll
I am debating the name of a secondary villain. It's hard to explain his situation exactly without going deep into the mythology of the story, but I'll try to give a simplified version.

Writer's Block: Passing Time
Writing haiku. Particularly if I'm not in a position to write it down, holding it all in my head while I compose and revise, and then memorizing it to write down later, keeps me pretty occupied. -
