I’m in a sort of weird limbo with FLOAT right now, but I don’t want to not be posting about it… nobody would happen to have any questions floating around in their head, would they 👀

If anybody ever needed a succinct list of the creatures that show up in FLOAT, save one, River has your back:
Then again, I’ve met a giant squid who understood that my shapeshifting wasn’t a threat to her young, and bioluminescent whales, and fish who bludgeon their way through ships, and zombie-making feather stars. Why not hypnotizing jellyfish?
Today’s FLOAT line of the day is
"Fangfin," Dirt reports.
In the time it takes me to decipher the word, Aspen lets loose enough swears to remind me that she is a sailor.
And this is why editing is the best part — I’m not clever enough to put in humorous little moments like this when I’m first-drafting
Aspen himbo moment
aka you dumb ho she’s “nervous” because she’s being manhandled by a hot pirate captain in close quarters, not because of bugs

One of my favorite micro moments to write are the times where one character recalls something another character said previously, because the subtle ways the recollection has changed what was actually said can reveal so much about a character/narrator.
Example: What Aspen actually says when explaining things is
“He keeps track of all the little artifacts we find, but it’s difficult when we live in a looped current. Usually, the only things we find are the things we dropped earlier.”
Later in the chapter, River recalls this as follows:
Nothing feels different to me, but then again, I don’t know anything about currents. Except for what Aspen said yesterday: the only things we usually find are what we dropped earlier.
Very close to word for word! But paraphrased a little bit, rearranged a word here to there. Because what matters to River is the practical information, the point of what Aspen says. Not the accuracy of the actual words she used, which other characters might value more.
“My name is Aspen.”
“You’re on the ship Endurance. We sail around, picking up lost and drifting sailors like yourself.”
“Don’t worry if you don’t remember anything about your life; that’s normal here. The important thing is that you’re safe now.”
@redshield-waits tagged me to share my first line!
I’m doing two because I make the rules and also there’s two points of view, so. So there.
ASPEN POV
Sailing with my crew means I have to keep tabs on a lot of moving parts.
RIVER POV
The pirate captain with the scar across her cheek and mouth has been stunningly strong, caring, and confident since I met her out on the ocean… until now.
