Jed's Super-Dooper Baileys Pub for Newbies, Dragons, Saints & Sinners

I think I'm ready for coffee now...one can only drink 'tea' for so long.

I fell asleep. I only got three hours of sleep last night, I'll probably get less tonight since I just woke up and have to get up at six a.m again.

I need to come in here mo' often. I smell the aroma of chokolit and wonderful friends! s s!

Why yes you do, Susie. <3 However the chocolate aroma is everywhere you go, cuz you got them prelicked cakes in your pocket.

What is going on here, and could I possibly get a Berliner-weisse?

That's too many questions for this late hour, call back in the morning.

Welcome to AW, kobold. And I rarely ever know what's going on here.

Sit back, relax, enjoy your...um..Berliner-weisse and Susie brought cake if you're inclined to sweets. I'm not the bartender, I just play one at AW sometimes when I'm not too drunk from the 'tea'...

Hang in there Night, it'll get better!!

Susie!! Glad you could stop by for a visit!

*sneaks cupcakes from Susie's basket*

Kobold!! There's much to see in our AW world, so after you've checked out the many forums, come back anytime to the Pub. We're here... sometimes... most of the time... usually... well, we'll be around!!

*flits into front door*

*looks around empty pub*

Saturday evening and no one around! I must be too early!

Probably a bit too early.............Hi all - thought I'd check back in and see what's going on - I'm a newbie. I should be working on my blog, and figure out how to get people to read - but then again, guess I gotta write something new first...........by the way, this IS a writing forum, right? I rarely see ya'll yakking about writing.......but I guess this is just the bar........plenty of threads for writing I suppose. But when I first joined up, this seemed like the fun place to hang out. Have a good weekend all!

There really is so much to see---so much to do here!!! In the pub, however, we chill, drink, dance, wash our worries away and enjoy the chatting with each other! Glad to have ya! Have a great weekend!!

Thanks Honey!

Glad to be here - put away a couple of glasses of wine while watching movies this afternoon and early evening - so done with the drinking.......have fun without me!

I had to laugh - you're right on about the procrastinating thing! I didn't realize it was a writers' habit! I'm pretty all over the place genre-wise.......but I think my forte is humor. I'd like to be the next Erma Bombeck........here's a link to my stuff...........

Hey Honeybug, sorry I missed you earlier! Yeah, dead for a Saturday -- my own excuse is that I'm busy packing.



Writers are nothing if not REALLY GOOD at procrastinating

But yes, this is a writer's forum, and there's a lot of good places to discuss the actual craft & business to be had. What sorts of things do you write?

AW - Humor Board

Oh duh!!! Absolute Write - never mind - I thought it was the Water Cooler, but that's this particular thread......gotcha! What does AW stand for? I haven't mastered moving around this site very well yet.......can you hook me up with a direct link? Thanks!

There's a humor board on AW, if you haven't found it already.

Writer procrastination is frequently referred to as "cat-vacuuming", as in: I've washed the dishes, folded the laundry, organized my sock drawer, alphabetized my lint collection, and dusted every bookshelf in the house; now all I need to do is vacuum the cat and then I'll sit down and do some writing for sure."

*raises hand* Is this the kind of pub that allows bar fights? Also can I have some Orange Juice?

I'll have another, and some of that cake if there's any left (after how long?) A cinnamon roll if there's no longer any cake.

I'm aware of writers making the greatest procrastinators, but the fact is, I really have vacuumed a cat.

Great pub you've got here, you guys!

Hi Honeybug,

I'm a newbie here, but would love to take a look at your WIP, lst chapter. I've been writing for about 30 years, written four novels, published poet, so I do know something about the craft. I just want to read other people's workk, learn from them, see what they are doing, their techinqiue, etc.
