Over looking, or looking over?
Feeling a bit empty lately?
I’ve been feeling rather bland lately, sort of like a banana traveling across the waters on a boat and wondering what kind of exciting life I’ll be leading, only to be stacked on a shelf at a small-town “Wally World.”
There, a 300 pound woman wearing a bikini will take me home, and I will meet an untimely death after she accidentally sits on me.
Yes, I’m a writer. Why did you ask?
Today, I travelled back through time and found a few “gems” from the blog-o-sphere of yester year (aka 2014).
Let’s be real: I awoke to the taste of rancid cheddar cheese potato “crisps” (Aka reconstructed mush baked into chips) that reminded me of old bananas. There, on the right side of my post, were a few entries I didn’t recognize.
When you’ve posted 2,885 times since 2012, it’s not hard to miss a few.
How has my writing style changed?
I write fewer words. And after reading one of my old posts I can say for a fact that fewer words are far better.
At this moment in NaNoWriMo history, I’m at 37,924 words. I’ll be working all this week, and doing the NaNoWriMo jig again next weekend — I hope. With only a little over 12,000 words to the finish line, if I write 4,000 words in 4 days, I win — along with 11,000 other people — days before the “finish line.”
Given my history, the book should be published in about 10 years.
Maybe 20.
Just ask my dogs: To them, life is ruff, ruff, ruff.
I’ve been talking about the book I’m writing for over 20 years now…all I have is a title and chapter outline. I’ll race you to the finish line 😊

Don’t feel bad. My first book was written 10 years before publication. My next book was published 2 years later. At that rate, I’ll be around 110 when the 20th book is published.

My first book short story was written at 40. My first book was published when I was 62, the second book when I was 65, and the third at 66. I “only” have 20 more waiting to be published. The last one should be out when I’m…oh, around 110. 😀

The picture freaked me out too. Obviously she didn’t realise she’d forgotten to pull her trousers up when she went to the loo.

LOL! I’m trying to imagine the ways in which she didn’t feel the cold plastic on her, uh…derriere. 😀
It seemed to fit the way I felt about being a squashed banana.

Some of the sights you see are quite gruesome. I remember a young mum bending over a pram and revealed not only low cut jeans, but a metal thong and half of her very ample backside. Not pretty.
