Worth 50,000: Day Two - Strains The Sweetness From The Fruit

[momebie]

So, how was the first day of Nano for everyone? I didn't quite make it to the ultimate daily goal of 1,667 words, but I did get in about 1,600 words and start the Steampunk novel off in what I feel to be a pretty exciting way, so I consider it a victory. Do you have a personal writing victory to share?

Yesterday a lot of people seemed to enjoy the picture, but not necessarily know how to write to it, so let's run full tilt in another direction for today and see if we can't get some other sorts of juices flowing. If you're curious, your picture for today is of an automaton built in 1784 by Peter Kintzing (1745-1816) and David Roentgen (1743-1807). So please feast your eyes on one of the scientific treasures of the court of Versailles: The tympanum player.



As always, write, comment, rinse, repeat. Let's show day two that we're just as ready for it as day one.

I like how your response to "people didn't know how to write for the last picture" was to post this.

BRB trying to figure out how to make two dudes talk about this.

People got really distracted by the sexiness of the last picture. I didn't think it would be a problem with this one, but apparently ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE PERVS. So I hope you all enjoy the automaton butt.
