X is for Xylophone...

Hi, there.  :)  I'm likely on the road somewhere between home and Colorado Springs, today.  Headed to the Pike's Peak Writer's Conference and SOO "X"-cited about it!!  I'll be sure to report all the writerly goodness I learn about in a post in May.

But, today... food for thought:

I wrote a passage in one of my stories where I compared something else to the sound of a wonky xylophone.  I didn't think anything about it at the time.  But, reading over the passage later...I started to think;  Am I sure I know what a wonky out-of-tune xylophone really sounds like?  Am I sure I'm even thinking about the right instrument?  Does this comparison really work?

Do you ever do this in your writing?  Something to think about, for sure.

Have an X-tra happy Thursday!!  :)
