Why the Astrobiology and the Sacred story is being such a butthead.

They're in an art museum.

This requires much description.

As aforementioned (many many many many times)...

I SUCK AT DESCRIPTION.Argh

Imagine if the art museum had nothing in it - or that its displays were all merely so many grey foam blocks. Ignoring how weird that would be, how then would you describe the place? Spotlit gloom and echoing shadows, floorboards underfoot and ductwork overhead. Unless the artwork has some direct connection to the story, ignore it. Keith Laumer once described a place as having "wallpaper that was someone's revenge for life's disappointments." That was all he said - and all that was needed!

Well, there's the rub. The artwork IS the story...

I thought that it was your default icon!

[agilebrit]

No, but it might as well be...

Hey, it's a perfect reason to practice your description. :) *ducks*

I know, it's just hard. *whines* I don't want it to be hard...
