Things I’ve researched in the last 24 hours:

Interior shots of the Zepellin NT
Synonyms for the word large

I love being a writer.

One horse who can make that claim is Big Jake; He’ll be at the Midwest Horse Fair, which is–serendipitously!–in Madison the same weekend as Odyssey Con. If you wanted to make a field-trip, I’d be happy to provide transportation.

Given those topics, it sounds like quite an intriguing novel you’re thinking of writing there!

I smell… Steampunk. I’ve got the seed of an idea for a steampunk story that I’m sort of tinkering with while I write my current novelette.
