There seemed a lot of sentence material in This Is My Funniest 2, so I waited a few days before swapping over to Stardust.
For whatever reason, the past few days I've been having trouble incorporating the Albion card into my exercise - the sentence sparks a thought, and all of a sudden I realize that I haven't involved the first element.
I've had a few places where I've taken some effort to stop and consciously re-contextualize the sentence - just to make sure I'm not using the same set-up and surroundings as the original implies.
I am pretty sure that I have less than a week of cards left. Overall, a satisfying exercise. I hope to come back and write one of my excerpts, though which one? So many appeal ...

About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).
