Right now, my novel is running on a lot of dialogue. Some of it just cracks me up because it isn't planned, it just somehow flows out there from my unconscious without my control. For example, in my latest chapter, my main character insulted a powerful grimoire by comparing him to Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management. It's a Victorian handbook for wives on how to run the domestic side of things--the recipes traditionally viewed as the epitome of British cooking. Except in reality, those recipes are horrible.
I have a feeling the 2007 Nano novel will see a lot of book-related humor before the month is over.
Occasionally that... bloke (not the Alma who one) really was doing it simply for attention. He was doing the blog version of trolling- saying something controversial and laughing at the responses. I can actually see the humour in what he did (and some of his more legible response to the comments), but I'm disappointed at the responses he got.
Too many people took the bait.
Ah well, it will happen.
As for unplanned dialogue, I've got- "Just be thankful it was her, not the hotel, making that smell."
