I wonder if I would be able to cheer myself out of my allergy funk by writing a story about evil flowers, poisoning innocent industrialists?
I wonder if people would flame me horribly for writing such a thing?
Natural pollution is terrifying.
How about a flowering tree that produces curses instead of buds?
Or a race that wins a war by planting trees on the opposing territory. Spy trees? Stealth trees! Poisonous trees.
I'm not even going to get into ambulatory trees. That would be terrifying.
I've gotten good ideas from my misery before. Maybe it will happen again.
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).

I love those ideas. Hope you feel better soon!
Innocent Industrialists, isn't that an oxymoron?
Meee, too. Thanks.
People keep saying that to me!
