I see you staring at me.

You’re looking at my bald spots.

Stop that.

Stop it right now.

I am a very bad baseball player.

I should have a stat for HOOKERS WRECKED, I think.

You, I bet you have HOOKERS CONSUMED.

Nom nom nom.

Hooker cookies.

…

That will be my next website. http://www.hookercookies.com

I just realized my avatar seems very interested in whomever is below me.

There’s no stat for Hookers Nailed or Blow Consumed or Porsches Wrecked. What kind of baseball player are you?

Something to keep in mind as far as lists go for later is the dreaded…expenses list…and worse TSM – Time Spent Marketing! TSM will unfortunately much impinge on writing time and can be a horrid juggling act. But YOU CAN’T ESCAPE IT! So might as well get used to doing some too. Wheeee! (Just a thought!)

Oh, and one more goblin smashed: now, images should present correctly (as in this post: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2009/12/16/painting-with-shotguns-xvi/).

The designer got back to me with an easy code fix.

He’s also checking into other comment boogers.

Heh.

Beardheard.

COME LISTEN TO THE BEARDHEARD.

And your “beardherd” tale had me gigglesnorting. Seems a gift you and your husband share. Your dream-killing ways has left you scarred with the funny.

And –

@Rick –

I wouldn’t say it comes down to Hardcore or Casual, nor am I aiming to be dismissive of the non-pro writer. The only reason I really brought it up is, sometimes I talk the business, and talking about the business means talking about the money. The hobbyist writer isn’t really affected by that, and can feel free to gloss over it.

Beardheard? I prefer beardherd.

“Today, a beardherd of Wendigs broke free from their enclosure in Pennsyltucket, and wreaked havoc on the countryside, in search of cheap booze and yachts made of gold. Zookeepers managed to find the Wendigs hundreds of miles from home near Fort Knox, where they were shot full of tranqs, rounded up and airlifted back home.
“In a related story, the fence enclosing the beardherd has now been electrified, and will hopefully stymy the Wendigs’ efforts towards any possible future bids for freedom.”

Wait a minute… did the Casual vs. Hardcore argument just evolve to writing blogs? That’s impressive – there should be a study on this.

Hey, line breaks! How I missed you! It even applied them retroactively. I refuse to call you Warmaster Horus. The most you are getting out of me is Argumentdude Hank. You should take that much and be happy.

I just want to say, that figuring out my baseball card made me very, very sad. My HA is horrible.

I’ll take it.

So, I’m Magic Talking Beardheard.

I’m the Wendigo.

I am the Writemaster.

I have a lot of titles. I’m okay with this.

Someone make me a plaque!
