Find the Story Friday!! In which I give you some Poutine... :)

Happy Friday, everyone!!

So...clearly, if you're portraying real life in your novels...your characters are going to get hungry from time to time.  You are feeding them, right??

And if your character happens to be in Canada...he/she might enjoy a nice big plate of this:

POUTINE!!  Nummy...fries, cheese and graaaavvvvyyy... :)
And when you do give your characters a little something to gnaw on...do you think about making it region specific?  Or time specific?  I'm sure a 12th century warrior in a fictional Kingdom would ultimately enjoy a bag of french fries, but...

So, tell me?  How well are you keeping your characters nourished?  Oh, really?  Prove it.  Give me a line from you current WiP/published novel that's all about the food.

And Eat well and prosper this weekend!

Writerly Wednesday ~ If I were a Nietzschean...

(source)
I'm back!!  (Sort of...)  Hello, my bloggy friends!  Hope the past few weeks and holidays have been good to you - and PRODUCTIVE!!!  Have you all been getting a ton of writing/reading/editing done?

I'm back from a recent blogcation and actual vacation to B.C. Canada.  Enjoyed some poutine.  Saw a mama black bear and her three adorable cubs, up close!!  Paid 12% tax on EVERYTHING!  (B.C.'ers...how do you do it?)  I watched fireworks on Canada Day and absolutely drank in my beautiful, gorgeous surroundings.  Trust me - I've got plenty of new pics for Find the Story Fridays!!

Otherwise, I'm a little unprepared for my Writerly Wednesday today.  So, I thought I'd leave you with writing quote.  Not sure it's my absolute favorite, but the idea/image behind it is interesting.  Also, I've been watching FAR too many reruns of Andromeda lately.  So, obviously, when I stumbled across the quote author's name... I had to run with it.  Here you go:

Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?

Til Friday...  :)
