| I did it! I DID IT! …Whaddya mean, I have to write a second draft?? |
Great post - and these stages are neither linear nor predictable. Or is it just be that lives with an odd dialogue between euphoria and despair?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not, Jo! They are certainly interchangeable.
DeleteThat dog. So smart.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I KNOW, right?!
DeleteHa ha, I feel just like that doing NaNo...though I'm at the squeaky alien stage at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for squeaky aliens! :D
DeleteThis is amazingly cute! My dogs can't believe I spend so much time writing about humans, humans are so booooring. Squirrel!
ReplyDeleteI know, The Hound is the same. What squirrel?! Where??!!
DeleteBrilliant! This is so true. And the doggie is so clever.

Oh no! I'll have to see if le H can spare his squeaky alien for a while (it's a bit dribbly, though…)!
DeleteHound love x

Deletelovely post - and what great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! :)
DeleteAdorable! So much more interesting than my cat who does one facial expression only while I write - total disinterest :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carolyn! And yeah, cats are hard to please…

DeleteBrilliantly enacted! Of course, now we all know the Hound is the real writer in the house... :)
ReplyDeleteDamn… my secret's out!! :oD
DeleteThis post brought an urgently needed laugh to set me up for a slightly frown-worthy working day - thank you, Hound & Emma!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Clara! Glad le H made you laugh.
DeleteTsk! That dog needs to cover himself up!
ReplyDeleteI know! He's shameless. SHAMELESS, I tell ya!
