Lol.
I just imagined a lobster that never stopped growing and is now a million years old.
Would it even fit in the ocean?

Ok, neverending aging without getting old is not that hard to figure out on humans.
For example: foreheads continue to get thicker, ears and noses longer, the older you get–that is with or without wrinkling.
Ageing as we know it has to do with a lot of factors that would not exist in an immortal, per se.
For example: hormonal changes are due to things changing because body parts are shutting down, so:
-
If the immortal can continue to have children, then aging that is due to menopause cannot happen. That’s half of Osteoporosis issues. The other half is robbing your body of it’s calcium by binding it with sodas.
-
Late type 1 and all type 2 diabetes is dominated by dietary habits (of course not the only factors). Alzheimer’s is considered type 3 diabetes by a lot of people because it appears to have relation to insulin/blood sugar issues issues. This is a shutting down or wearing down of the pancreases, and some folks are predisposed, but a ton of it still has to do with diet.
-
Collegen controls wrinkles (so does diebetes). That’s dietary as well as aging. Which is why if you drink a ton of bone broth, and I mean a ton of it, your skin “youthens”.
Anyway, what this boils down to, to me:
An immortal can do a lot to maintain what they have, and have an eternity to figure it out, and most visible signs of aging are not AGE, but WEAR, and worn down things can be repaired.
So, other than a neanderthal brow ridge and a slightly larger nose and ears, most aging aspects wouldn’t be guaranteed in an aging immortal.

Started editing my magic realism book 2 and…this duology has this running theme of being kinda cheeky, well, I think it’s funny. It’s like overexplaining. Like, an of course kind of thing.
Last month, when the man had first come, he had watched the snake charmer charm a snake as snake charmers did.

It’s cute. Modeled it after this one?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
It’s better than:
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.

She wanted to learn more about my world. It’s one where there’s giant lobsters that can be used in place of horses, because they don’t mind the rain.

Yeah, I was wondering if this was something to do with writing or with incense.

I finally finished writing a chapter yesterday, and it’s about 2500 words long. Man, that fight scene was hard to write. Now time to write XIII

Yay! Congrats! 
Fight scenes can sure be challenging to write.

Thanks! Yeah, they are so hard to write. Doesn’t help that I’m writing fight scenes in third person omniscient between a desert-spider-human hybrid beast and two guys with superpowers 
Although I’ll have to get used to it since it’s a book about guardians, aka people who fight monsters for a living

Phew. 54K written on a new story since 1st Jan. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and it’s a show I want to watch that doesn’t exist. So, it’s like I’m watching the show in my head and writing it out as I go. Weird, I know, but at least It’s motivated me to write.

Progress on my villain story has been slow. Real life keeps getting in the way, then I find a moment to write but have no more mental energy left.
I’ll try sprinting tonight. Hopefully that will help me get the words out.
I need very few scenes to finish it:
- Beira lies to her daughter to get her to do the thing.
- The daughter returns. Emotional stuff. Final morality test.
- The boss fight.
- Unexpected help and resolution.
Ok. Just four chapters. I can do this. I can do this!
