Frenzy

Ever since I was at the writers meeting the other night I have knocked out two short stories already. They are both pretty lame right now but I just wrote and will add/delete later. They are both pretty dark. I will try to make something a bit more upbeat and funnier when I can think of it. I have a month to decide what piece I want to bring to the next meeting.

I am also going to check out a book club next week! I must sound so gay now. I am writing and going to book clubs at trendy coffee shops. They will have no idea what hit them when I bring the book that I am reading now. I am not sure as to what passage I should read from it. There hasn't been anything that really jumped out at me and says, "share me". It is just an overall good book. I will keep you updated on my adventures into gayville!

Very cool Josh! love the blog...I think it's an awesome way to vent, write...whatever! You can still remain "faceless" with us. ;o) Anyhow, the more we all read one another's writing - we'll all be revealing a bit more about ourselves...except for Bill - right Bill? *wink*

Catcha in December -

Celia, I just finished the book last night. It is called 'Duluth' by Gore Vidal. Not sure what any of you are into readng but would suggest you consider this one.

Glad you like the writers group. I enjoy your blog and hope to get some tips from you for my own neglected blog. Also glad the word 'cock' signaled to you the true openness of the group. Speaking of word choices... I know what you are trying to say when you use the word 'gay', but perhaps 'effete' is more accurate and leaves out a lot of political/personal baggage.

'effete' sounds good but GAY runs off the tongue so much easier. There is no offense intended towards the gat community. I very much am pro-homo. I think that it's a good thing but that can be a subject for a post!

Ummm - gotta agree with cackmandu there - swiftfan1! 'effete' has a "fem" ring to it. And I mean no offense to the gay community or to the other females out there. ;0) Dee

Damn! I just realized I blew your cover!

BTW - Cack - fall around here in my humble opinion SUCKS! I miss the crisp air. This 70 degrees in November really bites.

I just dropped by to tell you that you totally inspired me to get my own blog! It's lame. But like I said before I think it's a great way to vent and exercise the creative mind.

Why don't you edit my comment and become "faceless" again?

Well, I am glad that I have inspired you to start your own blog! I did notice that you did "blow my cover" but thats ok. I am not sure enough people read this to really worry about it. On here I usually go by Cackmandu, or Cack is fine too.
