Kick my rump. I didn't get anything done. Rewrites got blocked somewhere, and the darned demon is still being stubborn. No progress. See you on Monday. Bye all.

Sooo...
a big thank you to our mistress DL for appeasing the gods (the OLD kind) whom I had rashly and unwisely offended. And likewise to those of you who helped... I shan't name names and embarrass anyone, but you have my gratitude. Now... what did I miss? (I get a pass on my goals this week, right? What do you mean, "no"??)

Freudian or Jungian?
Cause if it's Freudian, I'll probably pass.

It's all tasty flesh though a little too well-done for my taste (I like it raw).
But how would you tell? Psychiatrists woudln;t necessarily be any gamier than psychologists. Good, well-fed human fattened in the office. So soft and tender. So easy to bring down. Not at all like those blamed athletes or marathon runners. They're stringy and lean, too fast and hard to bring down, and they don't even go well with ketchup.

Hmmm, I'm running out of adjectives with which to adorn Her Tigeriness. She'll begin to think less of me if I don't address Her with the proper degree of obsequieousness...
(and then he loses his entire train of thought) I wonder how psychiatrist and psychologist skin tastes fried and served up like chitlins? Oh, Your Most Magnificent and Supreme, Water-Loving, Elephant-Hating, Dagger-Clawed, and Deadliest Night-Prowling Predatoriness, I got around 2250 words done today which is more than my goal (and got my 50+-pages of fiction and/or non-fiction read).

Welcome back, boston!
You do know that you'll be chained in that particularly damp cell in he sub-sub-basement for several days, right? And that we're having a lottery amongst the Horror Hounds to choose your "teachable moments"? Just thought you should be prepared.

Hehe... Lily likes to BBQ people. Who would ever think she'd be kinder than most? She might be more humane during the killing process, but dead is dead and roasted with BBQ sauce is still roasted.

Still tastes darn good too. Nice and smokey. With the burnt crispy flesh for extra flavor mixing with Lily's special marinade... *salivates all over keyboard* Lily? Can we have a big BBQ this time, I'm pretty hungry.

Boston, red or white wine with your, er, punishment from Lily?
BTW: We had psychiatrist blt's the other day with your choice of Lily's homeade rye or my pita bread and your choice of white or red wine or spring water. I believe there're some leftovers somewhere in this fridge *rumages past DL's antelope and gazelle leftovers,* yeah, back here in the gladware, there's leftover shrink |

Hey Laurie...go back over to the Exercise portion of AW...I made up a nice little lie about you ... heh heh heh... Hope you enjoy!Well Horror Hounds, I asked a question a few pages back if I should stick my ghost poem in the horror SYW thread or Poetry. I just got my answer. That quirky little poem I wrote earlier, and posted in the poems...well it kind of grossed someone out, not really grossed out but more disturbed. And all I said was the dad bit off the squirrels head (No offense Laurie...I wrote this before I knew you) SO...I think that I may saddle all of your poor eyes with the other poem. Don't worry, it will be plenty gross, perverted and some torture too. But if that line upset someone, I don't want to see what would happen to me if I posted the other one.

The good thing is I have ideas, and they keep coming. That hasn't happened for a while.
The problem is that I really can't work out when I'm gonna be able to sit down and write them. Most of my writing time is at work, and that's not really the best fiction writing time because I have to be in a certain zone where nothing disturbs me unlike blogging or whatever where I can just write. |

I hear you. I usually write in teh early AM when my kids are asleep. I'll put on some Tangerine Dream and plug in my headphones to get into the zone. Really makes a difference for me.

Heh. Plans got changed. I still have a chance to forefil my rewrite goal for this week. Yay. So, rewrites should be moving forward tomorrow, and a bit of teasing on the side.
Lily, I wanna PM you if that's alright. Gotta ask some questions about sexy stuff. Hey, Boston. It's great to see you again. I was missing your unique personality. Besides, Cray, Leukman, and Quickwit were really stinking up the place.

My partner will be doing a ready group after work on Monday nights in a few weeks time so I'm hoping I can get my ass into gear and spend some of that time home alone writing 'in the zone.'

Anytime, Shail. I always have an ear for my (former) minion.
brief rant: I remember why I prefer to watch DVDs: too many freakin' commercials!!! This in reference to tonight's Supernatural ep. Five solid minutes at the halfway point and before the wrap-up. ![]() /rant Last edited by callalily61; 05-01-2009 at 06:41 AM. |

Hey, EF. A certain S.C. Denton has been tracking you down like a dog. And he looks hungry. You may want to flee while you have the chance.
On the other hand, maybe there'll be leftovers for us.
