Hats (Yes, this is a post about Hat Bias.)

I woke up early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, for my mind twirled with thoughts about hats. I suppose that my absurd detail-stickiness in this area may stem for being in the fashion industry for years, but I do think hats are important.

And I must admit here that I have an anti-hat bias. I don't wear them often. I would prefer a hood or a scarf.

But there are some people, and therefore some characters, who have to wear them all the time. This can present a problem for me, as sometimes I send Colonel Cerradine into a room, have him put down his hat....and forget to have him pick it back up. I wouldn't be picking up a hat, so I forget that he has to.

That's just the beginning of my troubles. From there my sleepless thoughts turned to umbrellas and ties, two other things against which I have a bias.

Am I the only person who obsesses about these things? Or am I just a fashion victim? ;o)

The Epic is Away...

Yep, I subbed my 36K novella. Wish me luck.

Now to look over other story, get it back out. Then on to the other thing I was doing...what was that?

The ice storm is here. All area schools shut down. Thankfully, we still have power. We didn't realize it was getting bad here until we went to pick up my car from the shop. I slipped on the ice and fell, the first time I've done so in 3 years. The goofy neurosurgeon was wrong; a simple fall did not result in paralysis. Couple of bruises is all. So there, Dr. Mumblemumble! ::sticks out tongue::
