I’ve been reading more lately than I have been. Not just blogs, but actual books and junk, but still not as much as I probably should or at the very least the amount I think I should be reading. They (yes, the ever present and omni purposed THEY) say you should read more than you write.
Does that mean if you have to write a bunch of stuff for work, you then have to read more than that too?
Or should you just read more than you write to be read by others. But what if the stuff you write for work is supposed to be read by others too. Does that amount then figure into the amount you should be reading before you start writing or do you write and then catch up on the reading? Or… oh I don’t know I just want to be reading more and I’m not but I’m trying.
Completely unrelated how do piece of crap movies, like Vampires Suck, continue to get made but the James Bond franchise might be dying because they can‘t afford to make a movie? Yeah, I know, I would rather see a good Bond movie over 10 bad movies any day. Yes I actually did see Vampires Suck, so I can say it was a bad movie. However, the scene when the Team Edward Twi-hard girl getting beat in the head with a shovel by the Team Jacob chick was too funny, but we all know Team Edward is the team to be on.
Why? Really do you need to ask? Well if you do the plain and simple truth is … ‘cause werewolves suck that’s why. Yeah that’s right … I’m team Edward … wha’cha’gonna do ‘bout it… well not really I’m more team Alice but the movies aren’t about her but they would have been damn sight better if they had been and I’ll tell ya’ all a’nutter ting… ah..hem…cough, cough… sorry. It’s all only fiction and I’m better now. Well better for me.

I’ve found a new writer that I like and today read what I think was a pretty amazing poem dealing with finding yourself once you’ve lost yourself in the world of others.
I also spent some time and read some of the older stuff I have posted and I shrink down in shame away from the glare of the computer screen and think man you really need to take the time to reread this stuff.
The voice in my head says you don’t really need an editor, it so much more that you just need to take your time and look at what you’re writing. Read it again before you put it out there. Simply, I don’t give myself enough time to do this stuff. I get a lot of enjoyment, calming, centering and release when I write and it gives me pause when I need it.
I would say 90 percent of what I write ends up in the cyber trashcan and never sees the publish button. Yeah the other 10 percent should probably end up there too but I like to do this so suffer. I’m trying to be better there.
Stunt boy said today, “why don’t you just write a book.” I said, I’m working on it.

Doodle came by today and we, she and Stunt boy and I watched a movie with no nick name kid. No nick name kid is one of stunt boys friends I haven’t given him a nick name yet. He‘ll get one everyone gets one that ends up in here at some point.
We talked about the WTF Wednesday issues, and for anyone interested Doodle does still talk to the boy some times (it’s a cyber world after all) and remembered the song he wrote for her and even sang a bit of it. It was really, every bit as cool to hear it again as I remembered it being. She says she even has a copy of the song somewhere. Maybe it will get up on the internet someday if either of us somehow learn enough about computers to make that happen. She will before I do.
Litter box thought of the day… I didn’t have to clean it Stunt boy did it. YAY! I’ll have to do it tomorrow though most likely.
That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
