- The days on my alien species' home planet are ~60 hours long

- Their eggs always hatch around dusk or dawn, giving the individual their moiety …

- … because the first 30 hours shape their future development a lot.

- it is in adolescence these differences become pronounced

- The eggs need a certain fungi in the ground to survive, growing roots to do so. Sometimes two eggs in the same nursery intertwine, giving rise to their version of 'twins'

A bit of #5ThingsWIP for the day!

1. Evil live oak trees.
2. Florida's plantation history.
3. Mysterious murder and disappearances of wealthy socialites.
4. Thunderstorms and snake omens.
5. Something lives beneath the oak trees...

Wee!

I'll bite!

1: Takes place in Ontario in 1976. Coffee shops are far and few between.

2: The far north is flat out bush country. Like today.

3: Weird research grant given to pretty, rich Masters student. Poor friend did all the work.

4: There's a monster in the woods. And a boor in the house.

5: Lack of social media (or even a phone line) makes everyone super reflective. Not all people are deep. But they are tasty.

Not sure I'm doing this right (reminds me of playing "Big Blue Moon" on the band bus in college), but here's an attempt at a #5ThingsWIP:

1. It's a novel adaptation of one of my plays
2. It's also a reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s most famous work
3. It takes place before, during, and after Alice's famous adventures
4. There is no Alice in my Wonderland
5. It's a story about sisters

My first #5thingsWIP :
☕️ A confrontation at a coffee shop.
🥮 Spite ordering all the caramel rolls.
🟩 A chartreuse blazer.
☠️ A curse.
💨 Traveling on the breath of the wind.

Jumping on the trend: Here are 5 things about my current work-in-progress.

1. It's a horror play!

2. There's a person-eating monster and a house burning down. Let the directors figure out how to do those on stage.

3. Ghosts!

4. Disabled lead!

5. (Because it's actually about disability and COVID and how much people suck sometimes)

I’ve had some fun scrolling #5ThingsWIP so here’s mine:

1. Mixed Black woman protag just trying to pay the bills
2. 1880s-US-inspired setting
3. Trains running on ✨magic✨
4. A spirit disgruntled the train is running on *its* magic
5. Surprise! The real evil is white supremacy

OK my turn:

1. Literary fiction, heroes journey

2. The protagonist is an addict

3. The antagonist is a narcissist

4.The location is an enchanting place that people only find when they need it the most

5. I wrote the love interest character 14 years ago and then met them irl (how spooky is that?)

Still got a few days off work to do some writing so thought I'd share a few things about the novel I'm writing.

#5ThingsWIP

1. Its about two brothers (18-25ish)
2. They end up in an alternate, wondorous London
3. Tensions arise
4. What does home mean?
5. I plan for a sequel.

New play, 30 pages in...

1. There's a play within a play
2. The play within is an historical farce, based on a true story
3. Lots of meta-theatrical nonsense
4. Pulls apart the Aussie larrikin type/trope
5. The other actors start to rebel against the lead

it's actually for a personal card game project, but that counts as writing ... right? #5ThingsWIP
1. it reverses something that is taken for granted in #netrunner
2. contains traces of truth & a PhD thesis I read for fun (twice)
3. no deaths, but it certainly escalates
4. water is everywhere, but may not be central to the plot
5. the famous person disappears immediately
