Looking for story titles, I used a regular expression to find words that end with -lands. https://stevendbrewer.com/regular-expressions-are-magic/ #Writing

"How about dessert?" Sisi asked.
"What would you like?"
The Angels all spoke at once. Five said, "Lollipops!" and four said, "Bubblegum!"
"Anything else?"
Bebe raised her hand.
"Yes, Bebe?"
She raised up her teddy bear. "Bellotrix would like a Fun Meal and lollipop too."
David sighed. (2/2) #wss366

"I'm making a #list of what to bring for our picnic," David said to the Better Angels. "What do you want? Zaza?"
"A Fun Meal."
David made a note on his device.
"Anyone else want a Fun Meal?"
All of the other Angels raised their hands. David rolled his eyes.
"Nine Fun Meals. What else?" (1/2) #wss366

I'm simultaneously working on manuscripts for a scientific article, an article about bookselling, a blog post, and a horror short story. It makes for weird context switches when I move from one to another. #amwriting

Here's a bit with 2 for the price of 1:

Curtiss arrived at the aerodrome where he saw an airship being readied. She was a small craft with the name, *Cherry's Chastity*, painted in red on her white envelope. A heavy-set, bearded man met him at the ramp and gruffly directed him to a tiny cabin for the flight. Within minutes, the blue towlines of the remmers appeared and the craft rose silently into the calm, evening air, turning north and west.

#WritersCoffeeClub How do your immediate surroundings influence your work?

I don't think surroundings make much difference at all. I do have a truly magical place to write in the summer: https://stevendbrewer.com/a-truly-magical-place-to-write/ In the winter I'm in my windowless office in the basement. But my productivity doesn't change much.

What does impact my productivity is other life circumstances, although it's complicated. Stress can either decrease or increase my productivity — or both. Or change what I want to write.

#WordWeavers Do any of your characters create any form of art?

In *The Better Angels and the Absolutely Apropos Arrangement* (in *Better Angels: Tour de Force*), the Angels participate in an ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) contest. To their surprise, Sssindy (a 10-meter long, thicc, pink snake) has also contributed an entry.

Their shoes made sucking sounds as they waded through muck.
"Ugh! I hate this stinking #bog," one man said.
"Technically, this is a fen," said the other. "Bogs form from rainwater, while fens are inundated by ground water which is richer in dissolved…"
"I hate this stinking swamp!"
"Me too." #wss366
