Yeah, missed the ball there. Sad since there's quite a bit of cow humor in my book. But I'm busy on the follow up, so I wasn't at the top of my game.

Cow humor?


What exactly is cow humor? Because I've known some cows, and they aren't the most humorous animals in the pasture.

Don't be silly, sheepish.
Cows are very funny creatures.


And on a completely unrelated note: there is a costume ball this evening in the Royalty thread. You all should drop in for a spin around the dance floor.

They have a moment in the 2nd half of the book where they almost run into a cow in the middle of the road. The MC's young cousins then start teasing her with really bad cow jokes.

You'll get it when you read the book.

You are going to read the book, right?

She was giving me a kiss.

There's nothing quite as humorous or heartwarming as a snotty, slimy, sandpaper-tongue, cow kiss.

Nah, I think she just liked to blow snot bubbles all over my face.

I'm suffering from a mild case of dingy this evening. As soon as the sugar wears off I'm going to bed.

PD- Are you going to drop into the Royalty thread and say hi? It's too quiet for a Friday night.

The attraction of cow humor escapes me, sorry. But, then, the attraction of most humor escapes me, so it's just SSDD.

Almost done with my Friday. I'm SO looking forward to just being able to SLEEP without fussing about when I get up.

How sad is that?

Okay, help me with this. I'm trying to learn about showing vs telling. This was a writing exercise. You're supposed to show that Amanda was bored. So...show me that Amanda was bored.

By the way, I don't know how much telling vs showing I did in my WIP because I haven't read it in a long time.

Edit to add: I haven't been to bed all night. It's been a difficult evening. I laid down a few minutes ago, but my mind wouldn't shut up, so I got up and tried to learn about telling vs showing. lol

First big question: Whose POV?

Second big question: What would she do when she's bored? That's a personality thing and we don't know her personality. Some people tap their fingers, or scribble, or stare into the distance, or wander around, or fall asleep.

Think about her personality and then have her do whatever fits hers to show she's bored.

If you're in her POV, then what are her thoughts while she's doing these things? I honestly can't give you suggestions for this, because when I'm bored, I fall asleep. Not much thinking going on there. However falling asleep is also really boring to read/write, so it might not be your best option.

Good luck.
