Virtue, not vice

I am still stuck like a really stuck stuck thing. As an attempt at some writerly WD40, let's play a game of Stupid Writer Tricks.

In a comment, give me:
1. A name;
2. A word;
3. Either a first sentence or a random fact (about anything) that you happen to know.

We shall see what (if anything, sigh) comes of it.

(On the agenda for this week: final revisions of the short story I've been distracting myself with, and the last-ditch attempt to actually like the novel I'm writing. I MEAN IT.)

First bit: Carbon will link to four other atoms, that makes it special.


Extra special bonus random quote, not related to the above:


"I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people who
are convinced they are about to change the world.
I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference
after another."

-- Ellen Goodman
