Web Log for 4.10-11.26

I went offline for the usual 24 hours; I did not stop writing...three poems and Thursday's main feature post. Some rain fell. Not enough. 

Animals 

The blogger known as Messy Mimi often posts photos of adorable adoptable cats and dogs (in Louisiana; some of the ones our Petfinder photo contests miss). This week the shelter where she volunteers has an unusually adorable Amber-Eyed Silver Tip with dapples on his head and neck. 


Books 

It seems some people think the "Bogus Books" listed in our April Fool post are actual books. They are not. However, if you want them as joke gifts, you can commission me to write them. They can be published on Amazon if you want "e-books" or printed and bound, for a naturally higher price, if you want real books. I've never ghostwritten a book for anyone whose pen name was Shoi Do-Fu or Ich bin Ein Dummkopf, but why not?

Like all books I ghostwrite, even the Bogus Books would contain actual research. That is, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings was a character invented for one throwaway line in one comic novel and I don't believe anyone has ever been stupid enough to write poems about the internal parasites that are killing the writer's dog, but if you ordered that book you would get real information about internal parasites that might be injuring real dogs you know, and what a person more intelligent than P.N.M. Jennings would do about them.


Chores, Another One to Do While the Weather Is So Nice 

So that you won't have to do it when it's more urgently needed and the weather is uncooperative, e.g., freezing.
