I've been reading Jeff Noon's new book lately, "Falling out of Cars". I am of course hoping that his style will somehow creep into my Nanowrimo novel. Instead, as I try to sleep, I suddenly think that maybe one of my characters should have a snail that they sellotape to their leg, as if it were a leech. Do you have a snail sellotaped to your leg? Let me know.

My falling in love with inanimate objects as a common occurrence thing has made me wonder how many objects there are in the world that I could fall in love with. Would I have to fall in love with specific things, or just the whole category? Oily puddles, dried up puddles, or muddy puddles?

Puddles

I am currently thinking oily puddles, as opposed to just puddles in general.

I don't have a snail sellotaped to my leg. But the next time I meet one, I will ask it if it would like to be there.

It would be more rewarding to fall in love with each puddle individually, and some of them twice.

I noticed a snail who appeared to have a human leg taped to its shell as it went about its business...

And the strange thing is, I don't even have a garden.

Do you seem to be missing a leg though?
