#ScribesAndMakers Apr 13: Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.
I gloat! Hear me gloat! Not a single one of you got the correct answer, which was "chaotic".
"Spaceship" is there:
“It’s a very good spaceship,” said Ms Bagby, “but it isn’t a house, is it?”
"Stringy" is there too:
"The rusty blotches of blood on the paper were almost the same colour as the cold, stringy roast beef."
And "Creepshow" is the nickname of Trevor Lucas, one of the less sympathetic characters.
#ScribesAndMakers Apr 13: Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.
17% guessed correctly (spaceship)
While there are plenty of spaceships, the word itself doesn't appear.
"wisps": good guess, but there's that alien locale which features them.
MC has a habit of suborning repair bots to etch murals on bulkheads, so the 42% of you who guessed etchers were off the mark there.
As for "chasm"...

47% guessed correctly. GreasySpoon is not (currently) in my WIP.
It has, however, been used in at least one previous story, as have FinlayCorp and Cerebragraph.
GreasySpoon is the Willow Falls universe equivalent of DoorDash or Grubhub.
So do "apparition" and "charm" — and while there are 8 instances of "charming" used to describe a person (or their smile or their accent) being attractive, the other 120 uses are as a noun, to describe a magical talisman or focus. My magicians use them a bunch, and there are couple of them that are plot points, so charms get talked about _a lot_. 2/2
#ScribesAndMakers day 13: Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.
The top vote-getter was the right answer. (Cool, I didn't make it too hard!) Despite having a coder and an intellectual librarian as 2 of my 5 MCs (i.e., the kinds of people who might use the word "stochastic" in casual conversation), the word doesn't yet appear anywhere in my draft.
As you might guess for a work that includes Found Family as a major theme and trope, "sibling(s)" makes more than a few appearances. 1/2

So it seems like "flour" was the victor for the missing word in my WIP, but that word will actually play a rather memorable part. I just put it in since it was a fairly mundane word and therefore the perfect red herring.
"Crevasse" was surprisingly popular, far more than "constipation" but yes, these words will appear in the finished book. Whether they end up being in the same sentence or not is the mystery I will leave with you.
People. You understand that my book is set in 6th century Wales and Ireland, so why wouldn't you choose "siren". Nobody had ambulances or fire trucks with amplified sounds back then! Now, don't you all feel silly!

I'm impressed! 21% of you saw through my clever misdirection and correctly guessed that the term "Wisteria" does not, in fact, appear in a story set outside my Wisteria universe.
