A tale have ye? Mayhaps, I may deign to lower my lofty gaze to behold your manuscript. I will give you fair warning though, if it haps to torment my dainty tum, I perchance may spew forth such baneful criticism that your ears shall ring for a month and a day. But, on the other side of the donut, if the writing is sweet like icing to my taste, I…[Read more]

Here is a piece that I did for college a while back. I decided to dig it back up and work on it some. So, BEHOLD!!!

I forgot Watership Down by Richard Adams

(Bigwig!!! 😁)

@joy-calle If you don’t mind, which of your stories are you editing, and what do you mean by ashamed? (You think the writing is just bad, you truly feel embarrassed about the story/plot, or you feel sick/depressed when you try to edit?)

GSG: I have arrived, and am ready for my questions!

Mike: Who are you, and how did you get in here?

GSG: Countless creature have asked me those exact questions! What do I usually answer? . . . Nothing!

Mike: Um, okay? Then why did you come?

GSG: Ah, now you are…[Read more]

So, from an old homeschool fogey such as myself, graduation was awesome! (The part that what my shrivel elderly gray matter can remember of two years ago.) Friends, families, cards with money, food. . . and the dreaded speech. Oh, how horrible that speech was! After taking college speech, I look back upon it and, well. . . 🤐

IT. WAS. BAD.

Also,…[Read more]

NP, I recommend next time sitting on Earth’s shoulder, or better yet, in one of it’s Mother Nature’s pockets. It’s a lot harder to fall from those positions.

What an epic Hot Wheels battle I just had!!! Who would have imagined that the black and red Lotus Concept would have survived to the very end! Beating the green and blue Country Club Muscle™ by literally trapping it against my floor mat, and box of pennies/rocks, then smashing the poor CCM to oblivion!!! 🏎️

@freedomwriter76 * I fills traffic cone with ice-cream, then give it to the gibbon gang leader. He salutes me then @freedomwriter76, and run away cackling, leading his band of goons.*

@whalekeeper *licks clipboard* Sorry, but I don’t think it tastes good enough. *Hands clipboard to one of the rabid gibbon who promptly clips it to my poor nose.*

@mineralizedwritings Don’t worry, you don’t have to. I just realized that Crested Gibbons aren’t monkeys, they are apes. So, instead of the hairdryer I need a traffic cone!!!

@freedomwriter76 Well that’s nice, but I still need that hairdryer!  I can only hold these Crested Gibbons back for so long! 😬

The monkeys are in the pizza parlor! Grab a hairdryer!!! 🙉

@mineralizedwritings The post set off your alarms too?
I did do a little research on the guy, and found very little on this “top book cover illustrator in the UK” 🤨 On the upside, I went to where his links supposedly go to, and the website seems legit.
