I am also on 5. Been 5 for quite a few nights. :e2bummed:

I agree, just not enough.

6, on a regular basis, I can function on (barely). 8 would be divine.


:e2yawn: Gah! Stop yawning.

Up at the house.
Mrs. Bluntforcetrauma and I have decided to part ways. It's nearly impossible to write as much as I do and stay married. Anyway, good afternoon.

If you'll permit the posting of a mere newbie, I'm procrastinating edits on a short story I suddenly felt inspired on how to revise during my writing time, but have no idea where to begin. I don't need help on this, I just need a moment to percolate my thoughts.

Anyone have a favorite Ramsey Campbell story? I've been intensively studying his short story writing lately, really like his style of describing scenery and lighting.

And I just realized this is like the longest post on the page by far. I can't stop rambling, it's time to admit I have an overwriting problem.

blub blub blub blub, somehow my last thoughts dribbled out of my brain and onto the keyboard and I don't know what I'm saying anymore. My mind is not in a very editing-proficient place suddenly.

And, back on track, editing away thanks to that gibberish post and headscratches from my horror-reading preschool teacher girlfriend.

Now I can't help wondering if any of my early teachers secretly would list Clive Barker's "Midnight Meat Train" among their favorite stories. I'm a lucky guy.

A dark, evil place.

OOooooo. I love that story.

NEWBIE-Q

I don't have to wear the hula skirt this time, do I?
Of course you have to wear the skirt. Your kilt is at the cleaners.

*sharpens knives*

There's marshmallows in the pit.


I wonder how they could have got there...






Anyways, we get extra portions as Ted is still MIA. :D

Grab a spork, Callalily. You need to visit more often. :)

*sets table*

Is the newbie cooking, yet? I has a hunger. And where's Greg with the sauce?

Oh, and nice to meet you, Umbrage. No need to get out of the pit, I'll shake your hand after you're done cooking. :D

Yes, you do have to wear the hula skirt, Big. And the coconut bra.

Welcome, newbieque!

*rustles up some potato salad*

Yes, yes you do. To all of it. :D *gets camera*

It's hard to miss, what with the giant fire pit, the neon light pointing to the sekrit dungeon entrance and the z-words shuffling around.

*sighs* Your linkage... *sighs again*

I call a drumstick, and this time you guys had better not dump BBQ sauce on Haggis and serve him on a plate with garnish.

Wha--
Who would think of doing that? :Shrug:

And who would think that cilantro makes a nice garnish?

Certainly not me.

:evil

Er...hang on...

:2angel:

There.
