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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

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....

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
