4/30/03: Bang bang

Word count: 12326

No new writing lately, but last weekend I went shooting with some folks from the Portland Cacophony Society. It's the first time I've ever fired a gun. I can definitely see the appeal, but I still think it's generally not a good idea to keep guns around the house. Unlike most other dangerous tools, guns are very easy to use and can kill at a distance.

Politics aside, I had a great time. We had marvelous weather for a drive in the country, and I had fun shooting at various old appliances, stuffed animals, and old propane tanks, even though I couldn't hit a thing. And I picked up a lot of terminology, sounds, and smells I will be able to use if any gunplay occurs in the novel. There isn't any in the outline, but the character of Sienna is shaping up into someone who, given the choice, would rather shoot than ask questions.

Oh, and I've gotten over whatever minor bug was bothering me earlier this week.
