When You Believe

Ello. Oim Br'ish, oy am!

I've been writing Drabbles lately. What are Drabbles? A Drabble is 100 word story, popularized on the Drabblecast podcast.
Trying to do something creative when I can't bring myself to work on le novel.

Here's an example:

My heart pumped with fear. 

The tall, flamboyantly dressed figure standing in front of me had to be a hallucination, part of the schizophrenic past I thought all the pills had overcome. Behind the figure, Professor Jones droned on about 17th century European history. The class, listening in their typical bored way,  showed no sign of anything out of the ordinary.

“It’s not real,” I repeated over and over to myself. 

The figure just laughed and pulled a knife from its fur coat.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Jackson. I AM for real,” it said, and slashed the blade across my face.

Fun stuff eh?

A good quote:

“Sometimes I write drunk and revise sober, and sometimes I write sober and revise drunk. But you have to have both elements in creation — the Apollonian and the Dionysian, or spontaneity and restraint, emotion and discipline.”

Sing A Song A Six Shooter

I'm sooo tired today. I just ate a BLOODY TON of carbs in the form of bread, more bread, potatoes (carbs? not sure on that one), and cake. Lots of bloody cake. I was barely able to walk to my brothers house down the street.

I lurrrrve podcasts. That's the only thing that gets me through many days at work. Driving around and talking to complete ARSE HOLES!!! Selling crap. Spraying crap. Boo. Anyways, a couple of my favorites are The Drabblecast and StarShip Sofa. But, unfortunately, they aren't doing well financially. They really need donations so if you could check them out and see if you like them and if you like them then please donate! They are worth supporting.

I am about one third of the way through my first book revision. It's pretty boring. Maybe that says something about my book but I'd prefer to think not. Just that I get bored real easy like.

Zzzzzzz...

Oh, sorry guys. Fell asleep for a sec. To many carbs.
