Blurbs And Blogs.

It's been ages since I mentioned I'm a grammar anarchist. Been ages since I noted that run-on sentences without the use of commas and the over-usage of the conjunction word "and" is an excellent way of learning how to hold your breath and waiting for the sentence to finally end and then you find as your face turns blue that the lack of commas are making you gasp for air and thus you give up on the run-on sentence and decide to skip the sentence but hang on it's going to abruptly end!

Gosh, I'm working on a story. Wow n'stuff!  Then comes the cover reveal and its imminent release, pending approval by the writing parole board.  Or perhaps my book launch.  Launched in a sewage treatment plant near you.

In my story, the main characters are the Tagonist family.  Brother Bill, along with his buddy Ted, who would like an excellent adventure. Granny Mabel and Grampa Marvin, who love to go to strip bingo with the hope of  losing every game. Ma Susie Q, who likes country rock and Papa John, who dreams of owning a pizza place. Then we have the evil twisted sister, Ann Tagonist, who decided, we're not gonna' take it....any more....Some reading the story will not like the Tagonist family.  Some will be pro-Tagonist.

I have noticed a lot of writer and blogger lingo.

Blurbs.
WIP.
Flash  fiction.
NaNoWriMo.
IWSG, which is here: The Insecure Writer's Support Group.

I thought a blurb was a burp
What a twerp
A stomach ache
For goodness sake
A summary
Of a book you see
WIP not missing a letter
So much the better
Work In Progress
Time to impress
Flash fiction
Caused me some friction
Thought it was about a daring nude
Seems I was only thinking crude
NaNoWriMo
What do you know
Not about Mork
And the way he'd talk
IWSG filled me with glee
Thought it was regarding me
The Insecure Writer's Group
Go check out that diverse troop.
 

The Tree of Life is reaching its conclusion.  To see the ongoing collaboration, this link will take you right up to date, Tree of Life: Branching Out.  Special mention to Samantha Geary who has been a marvel at coordinating the project.
