Simple Pleasures

Meet the Fiends Living in my Sock Drawer

Meekius Meu-Meu (or Mickie, as she's known by the sycophants in her writing circle) is the award winning author of 'Oinkus the Pig' and "Butterfly on my Bum'.  The funny thing is I didn't know she was a writer until she offered to proofread the final draft of my debut novel.  (for a fee, of course)  Naturally, I was skeptical; Miniature Pinschers are bred to attack things with their face, not edit novels, but after discussing it with my wife, I decided to give it a go.

It took roughly two weeks, and when I got my story back, I was surprised to discover my manuscript chock full of little post-it notes filled with remarks (sarcastic, mostly) on how it could be improved.   It turns out Mickie is not a fan of my work.  In fact, she hated everything about it, from the plot right down to the characters' names.  I'll admit: I was devastated, but I eventually recovered, to the point where now when she brings up my story, I swat her on the bum and tell her to quit pooping behind the television.

New Book Cover!

I woke up this morning and thought, "When's the last time I've updated my blog?"

You know when you're asking those kinds of questions that it's time to go write a new post.  So here I am, ready to share my new book cover.

I'm quite pleased with it. Of course, there's always things I could have done differently.

For example: I wanted to put a thousand foot tall giant somewhere in there, but to do that, the title would just get lost in his ankle, and that would just be ugly. Besides, who would want a book with a giant foot on it? Besides fetishists, I mean. (fetishist is one of those words that always looks misspelled.  Like shiv, or adz)

In terms of this blog, I'm going to work harder on keeping it up to date.

(my next post is going to be a painful one detailing my decision to start charging money for my story.  A fella's got to eat, right?)

Until next time.

Oh, the Future (and what will it bring)

I'd rather have worms

I dreamed I shit a bunch of stillborn baby ducks.

It was awful.
