I managed another eventful day of writing today – the muse is being kind to me.
5,300 words wracked up and Part III of the WIP planned.
Here’s a very small snippet from today’s session (I can’t share too much of today’s writing because, you know, spoilers).
Rolls of naked flab dripped down his torso and dozens of octopus-like tentacles protruded and writhed from his flesh, each gross appendage ending with a slathering mouth. His small head jutted between his thick, quivering shoulders, and sunken in his fleshy face were two beady beetle-black eyes. The only other protuberances to escape his fat folds were a pig-like nose, and a round maw of spiky teeth.
He was not an attractive being.

He sounds like a bizarre, creep-fest of a creature. Excellent.:-)

Great word count. Then he said, “I’m here to pick up your daughter for the dance.”

This is very vivid, Jessica. He is not an attractive person at all. It reminds me of a scene from Dune.

Yeah I might have to cut that last line from the final draft (not really in keeping with the tone) but I’m just having fun with it at the moment 😁

It depends on the pov. If you have a sarcastic character, it will work fine. 🙂
