I though i would share just a few nuggets thrown around at the Spin a Yarn. If anyone want more just let me know here, as I took 4 pages of notes(and by no stretch was I able to transcribe all the ideas flying around that room!!!!) and will want to arrange them in some cohesive form!!

Hawkins
- Their was much of Mirt to be had so you should be pleased!!
I only hope you are not upset with my suggestion to Ed for him......
I suggested that Mirt suffer from an un-expected Pregnancy....Which could be far advanced because it was un-noticed due ti his....prodigious girth!

Rinonalyrna
- Could not slip in cats or kittens.....but....

Monknwildcat should be happy I sugegested a Tailess Tressym! Close enough to a cat Rin??

I was also proud to suggest Rathan, Torm and a cowbell.

Another attendee suggested an Elf rouge who thinks he can go invisible at will, but really cannot! I suggested to Ed only if said Elf was morbidly Obese and he said that he could work with that as he chuckled!

I look my notes over tommorow and if any of you are interested I will share them here.

No worries about Rino's. I handed Ed my list on Friday and reminded him about it, so some of them still may show up. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

RW & Kuje: you guys totally rock! Thanks for sharing!

The obese rogue who thinks he's invisible's really creative! I'm impressed!

Do you count tressym as cats, RF?

Sage, before I turn in for the night I remembered one tiny bit of goodness for you....

Ed broke out into song.....not once

not twice....

but at least thrice!!!

One was his take on G&S Pirate King......with very intricate choreography I might add.

Another was a soprano, which song escapes me as I am not sure I heard many of the lyrics as the laughter kicked in due to Ed's dance hall girl inspired gyrations, complete with Ed turning to face one side of the room and doing a double cupping of his ample Bosom!!

Oh, I would've loved to have heard them. Maybe the Lady Hooded One could fill me in on the details for the other songs.

My thanks RW.

Our friend Brian R. James had a video camera. Wonder if any footage will appear?

-Yes, she does indeed like Tressym. Currently, our characters have a..."pack" of wild Tryssem that we've befriended that are likely to show up at some point in the future, I am thinking.

Yes--I'm happy.

Oh yes, I hope those Tressym come back--that encounter was CUTE!

Well if Ed finds out that you find "Tryessem encounters" cute, I sure one will show up in his story!
