Choose Your Own Adventure
Look, folks. I’m taking a few days off. I have work to do and a husband gone with the “army” (like I really believe that old scheme!) for the weekend. Plus it’s Mothers Day for pete’s sake (should that be capitalized?). So I’m going to make like a mother and piss some people off.
Wait a minute, something isn’t right there.
Oh well, nevermind.
Here is a prompt. It’s better than nothing. Or is it?
Do with me it what you will.
It was a dark and stormy night. The streets of the city, my city, shone with the shininess of a shiny penny in the gaslight lights that lit things up lightly. I poured myself a glass of eighteen year old Cragganmore scotch, and downed it in one gulp as I rubbed the three day stubble on my ruggedly handsome yet craggy face. It’s a pricey cure, but I was ready to drink away the…?
memory of the leggy dame who walked into my office in two steps….
I used to love Choose Your Own Adventures…but I always picked the wrong ending.
I have been reading your blog for the last half-hour or so now…I owe you one for making “work” tolerable this morning.

Thanks BKT! I’m so glad you like my experiments.
And as for the comment threads, trust me, you hold your own. That’s how I found you, actually. I follow wherever the wit leads me.
Now I just have to figure a way to stop commenting all the time and start focusing on the real writing. Ugh…so hard.
I’m honored that you would say that; I have been reading your posts lately and I’m damned impressed with your experiments and such. Plus you’ve totally schooled me in Alantru’s comment threads. I’m humbled by your presence.
I have that same problem. In fact, I clearly have no time for writing at all, as you can see from the paucity (look it up, Bearman
) of posts lately. But I cannot seem to tear myself completely from the comment threads. Damn comment threads. I need an intervention.
I’ll tell you what. All of you talented, entertaining people out there just stop writing for a few weeks, so I can get something done. Is it too much to ask? Tannerleah is doing it. Why can’t the rest of you?
