I've been sitting on this news for over a week, now. Remember last week when I said part of my May was WOW? This is the WOW, announced ... -

My favorite C&H (paraphrased because I don't have it in front of me right now, and it probably loses something without the art):
ReplyDelete"What's that?"
"It's a writer's block."
"What's it for?"
"You put it on your desk, and then you can't write there anymore."
But not me! Not today! I am positively bursting with ideas AND marketing gimmicks!
And nothing keeps you from actually WRITING like marketing gimmicks do!

Thanks for sharing. Gave me an out loud chuckle. Calvin & Hobbes is just plain creative to begin with...
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's me today, panicking over my revisions....
ReplyDeleteKerry- LOL! Marketing gimmicks are terribly distracting, aren't they? I've been dreaming about magnets, bumper stickers, and t-shirts with a gorgeous shoe and the slogan "Stilettos. Never leave home without them." to go with SF. :D
ReplyDeleteKaty - it's amazing what last minute panic can produce...lol.

Love Calvin & Hobbes, btw. =D
3 Day Novel contest?? Girl.
ReplyDelete*falls over dead*
Yep, that'll be me Monday at midnight! =p
ReplyDeleteMy friend Dylan (the filmmaker) is going to do it, too! It'll be a good challenge. If anything, I'll get half a book written. LOL
Hey CJ! Love C&H! Here's another good one...
ReplyDeleteC: "I'm writing a novel."
H: "What's it about?"
C: "It's about a guy who flicks through TV channels with his remote control.
(H walks away.)
C: (shouting after him) "THEY SAY TO WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW!"
Congrats on cranking out all those pages. The end is in sight! :)
