Sule Skerrie by Shoshanna Green.

A mysterious man, dragged from the sea as though half-drowned, who leads Doyle to an island that had never existed before, and from whom the fish flee... who is Bodie really? Surely he can't really be a silkie, a stealer of souls, not when he's everything that Doyle has ever wanted...?

I'm not even sure whether this could be our Bodie and Doyle - does it keep hold of them by its fingernails? Doyle is timid, but in fact he does defy his uncle and Father Henry, despite being dragged at by his duty... and Bodie has travelled the seas and now what he wants it Doyle... It could be. Unusually though, whether I see them or not, I like this story anyway, and surely if anything is, a silkie is from some other strange world that seems darker and closer in October... *g*

Finally the day has come - a Writing Wednesday that I haven't filled with other things! I have three things I need to do today - write, finish that bloody CoRtA form, and practice fiddle for tomorrow's lesson. which means that I have so far posted an October fic, downloaded a trial of Aeon Timeline, which I'm loving (and is at least connected to the specific writing that I'm trying to do and I've actually been doing Useful Things on it) and had a Yog Nog bath so that now I smell yummy... *g*

I'm also missing the pic that I spotted of MS in my flist earlier, from a show I didn't watch last night (hello catch-up tv), and since it sadly seems to have vanished, I shall post one of my own (though it'll have to have Bodie as well, cos boys together). So...

Okay - I know I ask for this every now and then, and then don't come through, but... does anyone out there want to give me a prompt for a wee (very wee) Prosfic - maybe three random words, since that's often worked for me in the past? Or a link to a poem or a picture or something? I want to slap all writers who say there's no such thing as writer's block (no, for you there's no such thing as writer's block - lucky you!)... I have lots of things I could be writing, but sometimes it's the freshness of something completely different that's the fresh air needed...

To do
- write! (not just plot - write!)
- download Aeon (to see if it helps with plotting *g*)- liking this!
- fiddle practice
- complete CoRtA application form and prepare for posting tomorrow - get it done now that the bc's arrived! - (at last!)
- post an October Pros fic
- more fiddle practice
