I dreamt last night about a book I was somehow simultaneously writing, reading and experiencing as the main character. Things got to a terribly exciting pitch where I (as the MC) was confronting the big bad, whose face had magically dissolved into smoke. Unfortunately I (as the author) chose to describe this as follows:
"But I could not discern his expression, for his face dont corn."
I (as the reader) got stuck on this line and then I woke up so I never got to found out what happened >:(
Other writers dream of magical new worlds and thrilling plots. I get "his face dont corn" >:(
@zencho your subconscious is decidedly unhelpful there!
@aliettedb what was really funny was I knew there was something wrong with "dont corn" but I was so fixated on the fact the apostrophe was missing that I couldn't work out the bigger problem
@zencho I mean, that sounds totally legit! (I would do this while awake, lol)
@zencho this is incredible and relatable
