#ScribesAndMakers 12/4—The first 22,000 words of this novel-in-progress already include "pulchritudinous", "defalcation", and "cenobite". "Idiolatry" is still missing but as I've over 100,000 words to go I'm certain I can shoe-horn it in! (I mean, it also includes "instar", "barratry", and "walrus". How hard could it be?)

If you have a moment where you reel off the list of crimes one of these two scoundrels has gotten away with in the past then you should be able to drop it right in.

If you don’t have a moment like that then what are you even doing writing comic sf about space criminals?!? :)
