A small writing moment
Funny the stuff that crops up when you're really not thinking about it. I'm describing a small seaside town, with houses on the cliffs, and it just spilled out -- local jargon has 'lazy bedrooms', on the western side, so the sun won't wake you up early, and 'working bedrooms' facing east, so the dawn wakes up the house staff. It's a nice, plausible bit of establishing detail, and it just popped out of nowhere. I had no idea I was going to do it until I finished the sentence. Those are the little bits of magic that keep me working.
Now, of course, I'm curious, because it seems so plausible that surely some coastal culture has done something similar, jargon- or architecture-wise.
