Letting Go!
I'm almost done with my monster SGA WIP. I think it's the longest thing I've ever written, and it's been six months in the writing of it, and as it draws to a close, I'm grieving for the scenes that never got written. I really don't want this story to be over! (Lim says I have empty nest syndrome.)
Anyway, in order to begin getting it through my head that yes, it's really almost over, I am letting go of my favorite lines that do not appear in the story! Go, little snippets! Fly free! "I discovered quantum mechanics and anal sex around the same time. It was quite the whirlwind summer for me."
"What are you, my food taster? Give me that!"
"My brother was hired by the CIA when he was twelve. It saved his life, I think. Though he spent the rest of his life worrying that everything he worked would on end up in a crate in some government warehouse."
"What kind of gay man are you?"
"The kind who avoids women and flies helicopters in remote locations?"
"Because I have to tell you, maybe I've read too much hard science fiction, but am I the only person who--a machine that makes babies in a universe full of monsters that eat people? Am I the only one who sees the problem with that!?"
"Yes. That's the thing they don't tell you about pederasty; it sets you up for a life of disappointment."
