the rubber duck

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.

Still working on this, btw. There’s a very awkward dinner scene that I can’t wait for folks to see

Having placeholder names for things makes otherwise tense scenes unintentionally hilarious sometimes

NaNoWriMo Day 3 

Total words: 6,014 Favorite Section: 

Whatever heat of the day had long since disappeared with the sun. As a lone breeze swirled kitchen scraps off of trash heaps and rippled water in the gutters, a chill crept along the exposed flesh of Betony’s chest and hands. Its icy fingers clawed at her skirt, and she was thankful for the thicker wool of her winter hose.

“Could you walk a bit closer?” Betony asked, looking up to see Edwards familiar silhouette. He was the only bit of warmth she’d have until they reached cordwainer’s lane, and it was quite a walk from Thames and Harp.

Thankfully, Edward was a gentleman, when he chose. He stepped closer, and his hands reached up to his shoulder before pausing. “I’ve forgotten my cloak.”

Day 1 of Nano is done!

Betony’s heartbeat fluttered, and her face grew hot. “I couldn’t lie to my mother.” 

 “It’s not a lie,” Edward backed away from her space, “It’s…an adjusted truth. The wine we have is from the last season, which is hardly desirable for such esteemed guests. Especially when your household now stands in such a position of honor.”
