There it is! This app has felt like the empty house with one campstool and a pizza box on the floor. Now it’s starting to feel more like home.

From my WIP "Hope: A Novel of the New Frontier": #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky

"Lady Fal sits on a simple campstool with a tabula in her hand. The first thing that strikes Creek is the shimmer of her skin – it reminds him of the only piece of chocolate he ever tasted, that time Gordo came through the camp pretending to be Santa Claus, handing out gifts to all the children. There’s a smooth shine to it like polished wood. Her hair is white and cut very short, accentuating the darkness of her face. Her cheekbones are high, her eyes large and slightly slanted. Her ruddy lips seem caught in a perpetual half-smile, like she’s thinking about a joke she never shares. She wears a combat jacket over a knee-length dress patterned with small flowers, dusky canvas leggings and worn leather boots that come up just above her ankles."

Question for Victorianists: Middlemarch's narrator says right before this famous passage that if C19 writers tried declaiming like Fielding they'd sound as if they were speaking from a "campstool in a parrot-house." What did GE think a parrot house was, and where would she have come across one?

"I at least have so much to do in unravelling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe." #Middlemarch
