"Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything really good."
--William Faulkner
I have deep thoughts, but I’m also a goofy nitwit on the regular. For instance, when a friend said ‘navel gazing’ and I instead heard ‘bagel gazing’. So I created the ‘Utter Nonsense’ category. Here is your September installment of Utter Nonsense.
I have recently caught myself more than once saying or thinking, “Oh my Gawd! Don't SAY that!" And it bothers me because I'm a big freedom of speech gal. But, here lately ‘freedom of speech' seems to be more like ‘freedom to be an asshole & purposely hurt other people' & I'm not down with that.
We got Pudds into the cat carrier with no problem, but that was the end of ‘easy'. Puddles somehow communicated Run for your lives! to the kittens, and they did. Little traitor. Am I saying that cats talk to each other? YES.
I failed. (And yes, I'm a winner for trying, blah, blah, blah and other inspirational stuff) I won't get into all the feedback I got, but basically, my book is paced too slowly for modern teenagers.
Oh boy. Here I go.
1. It is possible to love your country/be a patriot and still protest the wrongs you see and/or experience. Our country has a long history of peaceful patriots who protested and brought about change.
