mortalcityWoke up and immediately lost my phone. Way to go, self.
I am bored and cranky at my brain. It refuses to work in the heat, and past a certain point in the morning, literally everywhere in this house is hot and awful - there's only one place that's even remotely liveable for most of the day, and it is right out in public where I would prefer not to be. October keeps following me around like she is actually my daemon, which is cute and really sweet, but she refuses to accept that it is too damn hot for cuddles. I want a house that is not miserable all the time and a room that is my own and a shower that works. Soon, please.
Slowly working on my Ever After Wood verse, as the heat will allow. I need to reread my main source material (four children's books, so not a huge deal) and pick through obscure fairytales for other characters. All of this is a lot easier than writing, but also harder to convince my jerk brain that it is actual work.
I am also playing with pen names/future legal names in my head. I should probably figure that out soon if I am going to be throwing things at anthologies soon, and I am not publishing under my current legal name for Reasons (partially family, partially I am not going to spend my entire professional life snarling because no one can correctly spell a not-uncommon or complicated name).
Right now I'm thinking about Barnes? I don't quite like the way Aubrey Barnes bounces, but Aubrey Jo Barnes is not bad. Also in the running are Carter (which might have too many hard sounds in it?), Drew and Danvers.Shut up. Not a word. I would welcome any input here.
Sports Night is on TV now, so I am going to watch that and read old RP threads and sulk until the world is cool enough for me to exist in it.

It's more for Rikki than Bucky, but, y'know. In the end it doesn't really matter. All Barneses are great.

...later tonight, when it is not too hot for creativity.

Personally I like Bishop or Dunham too. (And if you picked Bishop, I would LITERALLY be Kate Bishop and that makes me laugh.)

I think Drew is definitely too short. Two syllables good. B and D sounds good. Idk.
