"No one's had a female, sniper, serial killer..." - overheard in Greek restaurant. A customer was telling his friend about the book series he is writing when he isn't selling veterinarian supplies. I guess we all have a secret life.
I had a coworker with a secret life. On the surface she is a serene, stand-offish, long haired beauty with a great figure, living in a small town. Secretly, she writes historical, fantastical bodice-rippers, and has several pen names, blogs, genres and series in the works. What a very busy little creature she is. She dresses up in wild outfits and goes to odd conventions. I think she should be the SUBJECT of a novel, not the AUTHOR of the novel.
Today I got an urge to visit the Olympia, a restaurant I used to visit on a weekly basis. The same odd guy was sitting there along, reading a dog-eared paperback copy of an old science fiction book. I wonder what HE was thinking about ME?!?!?
I am taking an organizing class. The instructor was helping someone get organized who is a scrapbooker. "I can't believe there is a stamp made just so you can make a period!" she told us.
Things I love:
- cold coffee
- warm Diet Coke
- being in my own little world
- a beautiful day
Things I hate:
- people who cough and hack out in public
- Running out of time on the computer
- when it is a beautiful day and I forgot to bring my bathing suit
- shopping
I would like to be invisible. That is why I have a secret blog. I guess I don't really GET this blogging thing. I suppose the whole purpose to to get FAMOUS or to SELL something.
I was going to make a book display once in the library made up of books which started out as blogs. However, they don't really have any good subject headings for that. That is an example of a book display which requires A LOT OF WORK.
