Butterscotch Stallion? Is that what it sounds like?
It's Owen Wilson, apparently.

Now I want to marry a blonde guy just so I can call him this in bed.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I used to be a blonde guy but now I'm snow white mummy dust.

Coding and Sleeping
Writing is an art, but it's also a craft and mastering both elements is difficult.
It has turned out to be a lot more mechanical than I thought, which is good for me. I don't have a poetic touch with words, but that doesn't seem crucial in a novel where too much poetry can get in the way. Sort of like really rich food, a poem is desert while a novel is your diet for a year.

Well, it helps to be able to evoke a scene or a moment but there are plenty of good writers who aren't high octane wordsmiths. And I don't think it's as much as matter as writing poetically as having a strong voice as a writer, which takes a while to develop, but is certainly within your range.
I mean, you're looser and have more of a voice in your Sang Sacre bits than you allow yourself in the novel.

Going gray/white doesn't mean mummy dust! I find white hair intriguing and attractive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have several intriguing and attractive hairs....
