writing doodle... The Big D ...

People talk about the big C on a regular basis.  (Cancer if you weren't in the know.)  

I, however, deal with the big D.

Nope it isn't disaster, though the house could use an overhaul.

It isn't dump truck, haven't had one of those since I was a kid.

It isn't even doodie, unless there's a small child with odoriferous diapers involved and then it is the DD which is doubly dastardly.  

In my world, the big D is DOG.  Or as Snookie Wookie likes to think of himself, he's just God backwards.  

People would actually agree, unless they knew SW up close and in person.  

Here's the breakdown:  

God/Dog loves everyone

God/Dog is approachable by everyone

God/Dog is benevolent

God, however, doesn't eat biscuits in bed and leave crumbs under the covers.

God doesn't look for a better offer at the dog park if he thinks he's been forgotten.

Then again, God doesn't lick your face when you first come home from work.  Nor does God act excited to see tuna on the menu AGAIN because it was on sale.

Maybe tomorrow I'll worry about the Big E ... eventually?

Seekerville - Speedbo

The beauty of subscribing to multiple blogs/feeds is seeing what everyone else who is more creative, dedicated, or talented than you are is doing. Either that or fifteen people take credit for the same blog and only work on it one or two days per month.

I subscribe to a really nifty site called Seekerville.  A group of previously unpublished authors who formed their own community and reached the pinnacle (read: published).

the goal - minus the braids

Add They believe it takes a village to raise an author ... and have a nifty little something called Speedbo for the month of March ... think NaNoWriMo without the 50,000 word minimum to 'win' ... and unlike NaNo - they don't care if you take the time to edit and revise along the way.

The goal:  But in Chair - Hands on Keyboard Daily ... not every day will have the same word count, nor does it need to ... not every day is about new words on page - sometimes it can be about editing/amending what you have to start with.

NaNoWriMo muse

Two years running, NaNo's Muse kept walking away from me after chapter one ... I have a lot of chapter one ideas that didn't go anywhere.  I did however have a lovely view of the muse's rear-end.

pretty muse
just because

working muse
boring but productive

So, I have fired the previous Nearly Naked and Naughty Muse and hired one with a few more clothes but more grit and more determination.  And then I hired this one because he's pretty to look at.
