Tipsy...

If I tell you
I'm just a little
bit drunk
as I'm writing this
will you think
less of me?
It's been a long time...
for a lot of things.
Including drinking too much.
I miss the other things
more.

I don't need no stinkin' resolutions...

 

 

Except, I resolve to survive another year.
I will live happy with gratitude.
Spread love.
Keep writing. And reading.
And, if I am very, very lucky, I will dance like Calvin and Hobbes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year everyone.

When you're writing...

Write the way you talk.
Write the way you think.
Write what you do.
           what you hate.
           what you love.
           what you want.
           what you see.
           what you hear.
           what you feel.
           what you need.
           what touches you.
           what hurts you.
           what confuses you.
           what worries you.
           what makes you happy.
           what makes you angry.
           what makes you horny.
           what makes you sad.
           what makes you cry.
           what makes you smile.
           what makes you dance.
           what makes you sing.
           what makes you breathe.
           what makes you stop.
Write it all.

Sippican Cottage...

I don't remember how I came across his blog.
It doesn't matter.

He is writing a story, perhaps a book, called
'Some Enchanted Place'.
Please click on the link and go read. I promise
you will be among the enchanted.
He's already posted five parts as I post this so
you have a bit of catching up to do.

Jayzus, this man is good.

Not to mention... he also makes furniture.
Beautiful furniture.

Go read. Go look.

and, speaking of even more talent...

Make sure you take time to read at Lt. Mike's blog
Rescuing Providence. He's already had a book published.
But, guess what? It's going to be made into a MOVIE!

oh, yeah. I be hangin' wit de big boyz.

Wordsmith Haiku Challenge...

Once again, Sparrow picked a doozy of a topic for
her Weekly Haiku Challenge.

We all love it or we wouldn't be here, right?
