Narrator: HOW TO WRITE STORIES WITH BOATS IN THEM
T-Rex: Aw, damn it.
T-Rex: Okay! First off, put all your characters in a boat RIGHT AWAY.
T-Rex: This will prevent you from writing yourself into a corner, where for example all your characters are in a desert shack when you need your boat to appear, which will then save you several chapters of your characters agreeing that when that boat rammed through the wall they all thought it made sense, and any third parties who heard tell of this and disagreed were simply not considering the matter closely enough.
Utahraptor: Okay, my characters are boat-borne! But how do I DESCRIBE the boat?
T-Rex: It can be tricky!
T-Rex: Words to include are "floating", "seaworthy", and "boat-esque". Those to avoid include "winged", "like a tub, from a bathroom, but big, and extremely specialized" and "if you can imagine a toy boat, but larger, or maybe if you imagined a toy boat with toy people on it first, and then make THAT larger".
Narrator: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU NOW HAVE NO EXCUSES NOT TO HAVE BOATS IN EVERY STORY YOU WRITE
Off panel: Writing's hard, huh?
T-Rex: Um, not anymore!!
