I enjoy writing. I find that whenever I read a good novel and find aspects of myself in the characters it gets my brain going. It makes me think that if I create characters with just some of the quirks I have and some of the experiences I've had, I could write a very entertaining novel. The problem: writing takes time. And I like to sound eloquent and educated. That's not as easy for me as I make it seem. Therefore, between working 60 hours a week and sleeping periodically, writing takes back burner to the rest of life (as do all of my artistic endeavors).
I've been given a friendly kick in the pants by fellow blogger SBS. She has rated my blog as Excellent entertainment. I found this particularly odd because these days I do about one post every six months. So I went back and read some of my old stuff.
And it made me laugh. I'm funny! Well, not all the time. Sometimes I'm negative and whiny. But my funny posts are witty. So, I'm going to start using that little notebook in my purse again. I'll start writing blog ideas so that they're accessible on the occasions when I fit in writing time.
And maybe I'll start working on that semi-autobiographical novel I started a while back.
Maybe.
Here are some of my funny posts:
That is so not what I meant!
World Domination
Cake and Poo
Lunatic!
So I'm biased, but I thought this meme was amusing

See....it's not about how often you post....it's about what the quality of the posts are when you do it :) And, you are right....you are witty...and smart...and all that good stuff :)
And gosh darn it, people like you!
you're like a classic episode of Laverne & Shirley that only comes on once in a while late at night or on a Sunday morning at 10:30 am on WGN, before a Cubs game, that makes me laugh and appreciate its timeless quality and hilarity but then isn't on the next few times I check, until I'm once again pleasantly surprised...
SBS-Thanks! My ego needed that boost.
2x4-Well, not all people.
JK-What a flattering simile (or is that a metaphor)! Thanks, I'm touched (and I don't mean in the retarded way)
NO SBS - she needs to post more! Glad to see you are back around, Slim. You are witty, you are talented, and you are a great writer! So please dont stay a novelty for us!
Thursday-You are too kind. But inspirational and I will do my best to not be a novelty. I miss you too! I read your blog all the time even though I don't always comment.
