The mirror universe version of Sir Mixalot - who does not like big butts but can lie - is, for all meaningful purposes, indistinguishable from the original Sir Mixalot. Discuss.

Passed 50k on The Sculptor of Frog Lane. #amwriting. 4 draft chapters at dfpiii.com
Tonight's favourite:
"...Doctors must choose blood over honour.”
“And if the patient favours honour?”
“There is the rub: if you wish to serve humanity you can have no other master.”

Sometimes you write something so wonderful, you have to check someone else didn't write it first. Today's favourite (original) line from The Sculptor of Frog Lane is:
“In all branches of mathematics, one should assume a medium-sized duck, unless otherwise instructed.”

Yesterday was a 3.5k words day. Those are few and far between. Really enjoying writing The Sculptor of Frog Lane - chapter three of which will be out at dfpiii.com this Friday. (Or Thursday, but definitely end of the week).
