FOWC with Fandango — Laundry
Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” has been tumbling around in my head all day, which feels about right for a word like laundry. Released in 1982, it is less a song than a sneer at TV news, a reminder that the six o’clock broadcast is just another crime scene. Henley’s narrator is a hollow anchor who only needs to look good, not be honest, selling us car crashes and fresh corpses with a professional smile. The real indictment, though, is aimed at the audience. We cluck our tongues at […]https://markneweden.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/fowc-with-fandango-laundry/

That thing where the focus in the novel you're writing moves from two protagonists burgling a museum and escaping ahead of a torrent of rabid mole rats and switches to a space princess being advised that someone is stealing all the skulls in the necropolis ... #WritingFun

Wrote a fun, possibly silly scene today where Yves's twin tries to fool Bex into thinking he's Yves and gets met with, "You may be identical, but you don't actually look alike."
And he's like, "Sure. But you realize OUR PARENTS can't tell us apart?"
And he offers a bet: if he can fool other people who know both of them, she'll have to tell Yves why she's paid enough attention to either of them to spot the differences.

I love learning the collective nouns for things. Today I learned a group of frogs can be called an army or a knot. I will probably use 'knot' for the children's book. I do like army of frogs though. I can just imagine a batallion of amphibians in battle armour. Plus it would make a great band name.
