1. Similes and Metaphors: You know, "Simile" is one of my favorite forms of wordplay. They're a fantastic way to world-build and reveal character in a single line. I mean, a wandering minstrel character from a pseudo-medieval world would not describe the croaking of frogs to a voice heard through a crackly radio. But a carnival barker from the twentieth century might.
   
   One of my favorite games to play, when I'm stuck someplace like the DMV, or the checkout line at a store, is to focus on a detail or two around me, and think up different similes for them, based on the sort of character who would make each sort of comparison (how would a painter describe that fluorescent light? How would a werewolf? Etc.)
   
   I'm trying to construct a "30 days of similes" meme, and write it in such a way that is not ableist toward people with sensory perception differences. It's hard.
   
   
2. Odd words that Google Chrome's spell-checker doesn't recognize:
   
   It gets "Herman Melville," but not "Pequod" or "Moby"
   
   It fails to recognize "Googol," ffs.
   
   Also, all the HTML coding, like "blockquote."

I was going to write more, but I'm starting to drift to sleep as I sit here, and type up fully pretend words in my sleep. So i'd better go...
