Writing advice and hurricane update
Oct. 28th, 2005 01:10 pmWriting quote of the day:
"Writing is a matter of finding the appropriate balance of dinosaurs and sodomy." -- attributed to Michael Swanwick.
For the context see the post at Making Light: http://www.livejournal.com/users/makinglight/201910.html.
In hurricane news, I spoke with my brother last night. He was extremely grateful for the care package, since the small camping stove meant that they can now cook food and heat water on something other than a charcoal grill. No electricity, still on a boil water advisory, but the old-fashioned corded telephone is working. Gasoline is in extremely short supply, so today the senior partner of his law firm is going down to the marina to siphon gas out of his two boats so they'll be able to run the generators at the law firm and open up on Monday.
