Here's a super cute picture of our fairly new dog: Buddy. That's actually short for 'Notoriously Handsome Buddy'. Seriously. If you don't believe me, I'll show you his papers. Anyway. He's this massive, plodding chocolate lab, that mopes around giving us sad looks like, "why don't you people feed me more?"God forbid he should ever step on your toe.
So, I wrote a limerick about him. It didn't win, but I thought I'd share.

My Lunk-head Dog
If ever you visit my home
You should know how my dog says ‘hello’
He’ll fly straight and true
Like an arrow towards you
Delivrin’ your groin a great blow

Al-righty then. The real reason I'm posting.
I've had my beta copies of Fiersom's Brood circulating for almost two weeks now and I'm starting to get some good feedback. It's helped a lot when it comes to grammatical goofs and continuity coughs, but what I really need is some intense, knowledgeable crit of the first few pages. Thus, this morning, I posted the first chapter to Absolute Write. For those new writerly friends of mine who are active on AW, perhaps you could find it in your heart to give it a lil' 'once-over'. I want, I desire, I need to have these first pages perfect. If not, then everything I've ever written has been for naught; all is lost, and I shall not write again.
One last thing: I'm adding this new block of links to my sidebar, "Care to read some of my writing?"
I'm not a huge fan of short fiction. I don't particularly want to write short fiction. But I have in the past. If you're interested in reading some of my old short stories or novellas, by all means, click the links, but it really won't hurt my feelings if you don't.
The writing, for the most part, kind of blows. (I've gotten better, I think).
