Things You Shouldn't Say Around [BLANK]

Placed #35!!!

Just got results back from Bobby Griffin's new endeavor at The Blankest Blank. The Honk'n'Holl'r came in 35th place for Best Blog of the Year! I'm pleased as punch about it for the entries are all very good quality blogs. Many of which are my frequent haunts. My Congrats to all, and my thanks to all that voted for my little H'n'H blog. Good luck Bobby with this new endeavor.

Cheering Squad Update

Gale Martin has been doing great with her novel. Her manuscript is now up to 71 pages. A few people have wondered how you get into the cheering squad. Well, there is no rules or snooty cheerleaders pointing their fingers and noses at new candidates. All I need is a Go Gem! in my comment section and you're in. I either email, or post some type of kudos for Gale on behalf of the whole squad every Monday. So anyone who wants to join in and light a little fire under Gale's black satin undies and white short clad derriere just Holl'r Go Gale!

Those of you who do frequent Gale's Blog, are probably very familiar with the quirky comments that I do leave on most of her posts like the following:

Phheewwwww! I almost put out an amber alert out for Gem.

Extra! Extra! The Underwood kidnapped Gem

I've always had the visual of an author sitting at a polished mahogany desk in front of a manual Underwood typewriter with a sticky 'e' key. To the right is large, neatly placed pile of fresh white paper and a smaller stack of double spaced written pages placed face down to the left of the typewriter. Beside the desk, an overflowing black wire waste basket full of crumpled white pages with a few crumpled pages lying about the basket. I know it's a stereotype, but it still is a good visual.

Besides, those old Underwoods were evil, even possessed. Sitting there glaring at it's operator smiling it's steel toothy smile like that of the ivory filter teeth of a sperm whale ready to suck its operator in as if he were mere plankton. Banging out its gunshot bang at every key press as if it's announcing I-'-m---g-o-n-n-a---g-e-t---y-o-u-!

How can you tell I learned to type on an Underwood? Evil, evil things they are.

Funny--now my computeeer's eeeeee keey is sticking
MWUAHHahahahahahahah!

An Amber alert? Frank you are too funny. I love your anthropomorphic Underwood. Where's your novel, Frank? You should be banging one out, too, since your creative juices are flowing like water over Niagara Falls. (Okay the Canadian side of the falls.) Thanks for checking up on me. You and Linda are too good to me.

So, what's the President of the Cheering Squad supposed to do but accept the challenge.
I won't be writing a novel, but I am making an honest attempt at a short story called "The Possession of Joshua Banks," and I'm adding to it every day. I'm not a writer, so this adventure should prove interesting. Editing it is as I go is going to be the fun part. I started a new blog called Shortness of Breath and Prose, where I am posting the story as I write it. I have also posted other original short stories on that blog. So, please check it out when you can.
