#Keyboard but I must say after years of nursing babies I am gaining an appreciation for the one-handed nature of the phone #I never thought I'd be able to do any real writing on my phone but turns out if you're stuck in a chair for hours of the day #right when your brain is likely to wander in its most productive manner over your story #you find a way #and my phone typing speed has improved significantly #BUT i will say I've had the same phone all those years and I live in dread of the day it dies on me #because typing on a new phone is a vastly different experience #and will take a while to get into the groove of #whereas if you can type fast on one laptop you can type on 'em all #(this is so funny because I am literally writing about a character's typing style as we speak) #(it's so meta)

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

#confession: i kind of hate a musical episode #i an that one fan who was hiding behind the couch in embarrassment at peggy carter's musical steam sequence because I found it so cringe #community can pull it off because they're being cringe on purpose #anyway I went with alternate reality but could equally have gone with historical or movie #*musical DREAM sequence

"Nana would never tickle me, she is soft and heartful" may be the sweetest thing my son has ever said

#this was in contrast to daddy who is a tickling meanie #i don't post a lot about my kids but knew the tumblr girlies had to hear this one #the little cuppas

@ellakas posting about Hairy Maclary reminds me of something I've been meaning to say on here for ages: there is nothing so wonderful as a rhyming children's book that really NAILS the metre. The Hairy Maclary books are a perfect example. The writing jollies you along every line, you never trip over your words, it naturally draws cadence and rhythm out of your voice without you even trying. Seriously, read them, whatever your age. They are a joy.

Conversely, there is nothing so depressing as BADLY metred children's books. They exist. I'm sorry to say, some of them even exist in my very own home from which I write these words 😆 Just. Someone please teach those editors about scansion.

Tell me your favourite rhythmical children's books!!

#literally there is a book in my house that I didn't even realise was trying to rhyme or have metre until like the third read #how did that book even make it to print???? #H mcl is a nz icon and it's so nice when that happens to something actually GOOD #whenever I read them I'm like yes yes she deserves acclaim for this good good excellent

Ever consume a piece of media and think oh I am so very much the target audience for this and, well, target acquired

my favorite genre of fictional man is "knows they have the capacity for terrible evil and actively works to keep that part of themselves at bay"

#ooh #(checks list) yes this tracks #bonus points if he encounters a character who shows him what he might have been

For drawing, Gen and Attolia dancing?

(I would love to ask about my own characters but given that none of them have a physical form in my own head yet let alone on paper I realise this would be a Tall Order)

I’ve tried a version of this before, but was never totally satisfied with it, so I was delighted to have an excuse to make another attempt! :D

#them! #qt #I was going to say some qties for qt but i don't know if cute is really the epithet for those two
