Now I want to marry a blonde guy just so I can call him this in bed.
I used to be a blonde guy but now I'm snow white mummy dust.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

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.

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