What a blackout does...

I had a blackout yesterday...it wasn't complete, and I had a couch to fall on (my youngest sister was standing by thinking it was all a game and wanted me to do it again), but I've had those since I guess the blood vessels to my head are kind of narrow and don't open up after I bend over backwards. But those kinds of things give me ideas-fun ideas. Like I put some sort of deficiency into a character and make her fall and wake up in a place totally different...and than I can continue from there.

A death during the night

*sigh* Just when I said I hadn't killed any characters recently... *sigh* Last night, one of my characters got themselves killed. I never intended this person to die, but she threw herself into the path of a spear or arrow or something (I'm still investigating) to save a friend. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the spear wasn't going to KILL him... it was just gonna HURT him. *shakes head* And now I've got a death on my hands. Luckily, this character is more of a secondary character anyways, but I know of a few readers who will be in an uproar over her death. Not to mention I'll be stuck with the nickname "Character-Killing Queen" for life... even though, in the latest draft of the story, I hadn't killed any main or even secondary characters... until last night, anyways...

BUT IT"S NOT MY FAULT!!! The character was impulsive and threw herself in harm's way. *shakes head again*... oh well. She wasn't very important anyways... *evil grin*

Cells

Just wait until you get to Mod 6. Boy, is it fun in there. You learn about the cells and their functions, and, for tormictionists and/or fantasy writers, there are ideas GALORE on how you can twist certain functions around and end up with something completely different. Be very, VERY careful of science-studying fantasy writers.

Science

Am reading my biology text over here... it's giving me FAR too many ideas for tormictioning... scary to think how delicate life really is... bwahahaha...
