Dia fights a monster
Lordy. I am probably insane.
I finally picked up my "Mulligan" manuscript again after the craziness that was the holidays. I told myself I'd get to it after finishing the long-overdue Eldest essay, and after I completed that and my comic last week I was out of things I had to do before I could pick it up again. I had stopped Dia in mid-sentence running into a forest.
I think that if I had written the rest of this chapter back when I first started it, there would definitely have been no monster scene. My original intent in this chapter was pretty much to have Dia wandering around trying to find Mulligan and not succeeding and I don't know, pouting about it. Instead she ended up fighting a red snot monster, and killing it by pouring milk on it. WTF?
Milk from the sky. Little pink clouds. Oh yeah. This is turning out to be a completely sane adventure. Everyone knows you fight snot monsters by making the clouds shoot milk all over both of you.
I have to say I've never written a scene like that before. It makes perfect sense in context (though SHE was a bit, shall we say, confused about having to fight a snot monster), but yeah, I don't normally write scenes where people fight monsters like it's some kind of role-playing game.
Ahahahaha. Role-playing game. That is really funny considering what the story is about.
And I don't care if nobody is going to get that, because at the time I am writing this, it is a private post and I am talking to myself. Not in an insane way or anything, just so I can say it and get my thoughts out.
I have mentioned the book to a couple people by this point, but no specifics to anyone but I think Mikey. Meggie and Dad know I'm writing a book, and I've mentioned it to a few people who don't really know the difference, but I've still been remarkably silent about this one.
And one more thing: I saw a dude who totally looked like Mulligan on the bus. When he smiled he looked like Mulligan. When he was not smiling he looked a lot less like Mulligan. He was with his family, a woman who was apparently his partner and two little baby kids. If I squinted I could just about see him in maroon pants playing a drum. Hahaha. Ooh.
Considering that Cassie and Dia may get pissed off at me and revolt and perhaps eat my brain out of jealousy if I decide to go on any more about how frigging cute the guy's hair was, I will end this here.
