jodo
I remember when I was younger that I thought I'd pursue martial arts so I could write more believable fight scenes. Now I realize that, by pursuing martial arts, I am only finding it all the more difficult to write believable fight scenes because I agonize over every FREAKIN' sentence.
But what I really probably need to do is go watch some jodo/jojutsu somewhere, or find a video of the same. Because I have no idea if what Myr just did to her father is even technically possible.
I suppose I could always experiment....
I mowed down fairyland today. Or, at least, that's what I was thinking as I ran my mulcher-mower over the backyard. Little bugs, moths, and various garden critters went flying as I ran over their homes. There were tiny purple flowers, and tiny white flowers, and tiny yellow flowers, and it wouldn't have surprised me one bit to see a pixie sitting on the chain link fence, mourning the death of his homeland.
