Little Brown Dog

There once was a lizard called Ted.
Who lived in an old tin shed.
His head was dark blue,
And his tail was too,
But he wished that they had been red.

“Wren?” I was stunned. “Wren, like the bird?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.” I thought I might have had a better name then that. Still I can vaguely remember liking it.
“Dad use to called me his Jenny Wren,” I cry, triumphantly.
Gavin nods and smiles.
“I’m starting to remember,” I crow.
“Good,” said Gavin.
“Now what?” I ask.
Gavin looks at me.
“What? Am I suppose…[Read more]

Or even 0:45 – 0:60?

Sounds like fun @lightningmouse. Do you want to try it for 15min with me? Maybe from 0:35 – 0:50?

Oops. Try you again. @cahndida-serkhaman

oops. Try you agian. @cahndida-serkhaman

Question: (@spradlin, @daeus, @cahndida serkhaman, @jadamae, @sarah-h)
If you were illustrating this for a child, how would you illustrate this verse.

In a land long ago,
When men were all bad,
They stole and they murdered,
Which made the Lord sad.

I obviously don’t want to scare them, with people killing people, but I don’t want to make the…[Read more]

@spradlin Come and check this poem out. What do you think?

*blanches* raspberry!?! How can you eat those? (I can’t eat blackberries either. I do like blueberries and strawberries though.)
Thank you. Now, an illustrator….. (or not! 😛 )

I try to tag you and get it wrong! @daeus Try that instead. 😛

OK. So I’ve been working hard on this poem. I have added some more stanzas in case it does become a book. So the targeted audience is young children. With that in mind what do you think?
I’ll tag you just so you do see it @deaus. 😀

When men were all bad,
They stole and they murdered,

@anna-brie do you want to start with half an hour with me?

@hope Sorry, no amazing ideas here, but the “ancient pear that doesn’t break” made me laugh out loud.

What book is this? I don’t think I’ve read it yet…but I’m thinking I need to!!! 🙂

@daeus HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA some more. Oh, Daeus you do make me laugh. Next week I’ll probably look different yet again. They do say “A change is as good as a holiday.” Now, I’ve been made to look like Peter Pan, Aladdin and a pirate (all boy roles I may point out!) But I have never been made to look…[Read more]

*looks up obnoxious in dictionary* Oh, so that’s what it means. I wouldn’t have put that to you.
Yes!!! I’m not the only one. Phew, now I don’t feel so bad. Deja vu! I’ve heard that call for Heeeeeeeellp!! so many times.
And how do we fix them: We find what the distraction is and get rid of it. The TV, internet, etc… (Boy that would be hard. 🙁 )

*pauses on the edge* “Breathe deep, Breathe deep.” JUMPS! *Right I’m in. Now let’s go see if I can write something. 😀
Thank you @kate-flournoy.
but the successful writers are the disciplined ones
There is a line in a movie (which @rolena-hatfield should know) which says “If honesty offends me, than I am in most need of it.” Don’t ever stop tells…[Read more]
