Kindlegraph And Offal
Today, I offer a bit of dignified and a bit of crap. I can’t stay away from the latter—not with the testosterone overload in my home—so if you’re bored with my dignified, stick around for my crap.

The Dignified
A big thank you to author Audrey Kalman at Writing of Many Kinds for introducing me to Kindlegraph, a website that “lets authors send personalized inscriptions and signatures (‘kindlegraphs’) directly to the electronic reading devices of their fans.” In other words, if you’ve purchased an e-book (doesn’t have to be a Kindle book), and if the author has registered with the site, you can contact that author by clicking “Request Kindlegraph” under his or her book on the website. The author receives the autograph request and can send a personalized message back to the reader, which the reader can then file away in his or her Kindlegraph collection.
If you’re interested in learning more about the process, click here for their short video or click the following: Kindlegraph FAQ.
The program is young, but what a cool idea (drawback: it appears you need a Twitter account to sign in).
Don’t you love innovative minds? Wish Kindlegraph was my baby. Instead, I spawned this…
The Crap
I didn’t know my eggs had it in them. Must be the sperm. (Image credit: Microsoft Clip Art)
During Monday night’s dinner, I erred by asking my male offsprings’ opinions on a potential hook line for The Seneca Scourge, in case I wanted to place a Google or Goodreads ad. To their credit, my boys did help create the following, which I thought was catchy:
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and you’ll never skip your flu shot again.
But the brainstorming did not end there. Instead, it morphed into another frenzy of Awful Offspring Offal.
Allow me to share my teenager’s less helpful suggestions for my potential ad campaign:
-
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
you’ll never get gonorrhea again.
-
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
you’ll never crap blood again.
-
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
you’ll drastically enlarge your man meat.
Oh yeah, welcome to my world…
I assure you, my boys are respectable, polite, and well-mannered. They treat their mother well. But what’s with those adolescent male frontal lobes? Does a neuron thread straight to the perineum? What do your kids pull at home? Or if you prefer, what’s your catch phrase for my book ad (it doesn’t have to be nice…)?

Kindlegraphs! What a cool idea!
I love innovators who think of this stuff.
[...] while back I posted on Kindlegraph, a website where readers can seek electronic author autographs for their Kindle books. The site [...]
Love that Kindlegraph idea! That’s for passing that on! I will seriously look into it for the next book coming out in 2013!
I wonder if it will take off, but it’s a clever idea.
Sounds good in theory! I would like it from some of my fav authors.
I noticed the author of the “50 Shades” books is on there. Can’t imagine she actually sends out Kindlegraphs to everyone. She’d never get anything else done!
I suspect she has someone do that for her! Perhaps her husband?
Yes, she probably has her “people” now who help make life easier.
Thanks for the chuckles with the hooklines!
You’re welcome. I know that if I’m ever short on topics to blog about, my boys will come to the rescue…
Their ages?
12 and 15. The youngest will still give me hugs, but I know those days are numbered…
Such inventiveness in ones so young, Carrie….
Well, that’s certainly a positive spin on it.
Read my book or I’ll give my sons your email address.
Haha! If that’s not incentive, I don’t know what is.
Love the Kindlegraph idea and need to check that out. (I might be in need of a personal day just for catch up online soon.)
As per boys and frontal lobes: hmm. Any mother of boys only knows that is an experience like no other. And husbands don’t help. Luckily, anything I’ve gotten called into the principal’s office for wasn’t terrible. Somehow, the significance of teaching one’s son to stick wet toilet paper to the ceiling was lost on me. (Maybe not the male principal though–he just probably couldn’t show his approval on that one.)
Haha. Well, I guess I should consider myself lucky that neither my boys nor I have been summoned to the principal’s office. Luckily, they save that sewage talk for home.
Boys are an experience. Nuff said.
Love your (helpful) husband!!
Yes, sadly, he often joins right in with the boys. It’s a testosterone thing.
Thanks for the comment!
Your sons really think you’re novel can do anything!
I liked their original logline.
Yes, my novel appears to be the cure for all that ails.
Read this book and learn to love the next pandemic? Read this book and earn squillions from home. Really! I think your sons are healthier than my son, all he thinks about is politics and money.
Should I be embarrassed I don’t know what squillions are? But I love your hook lines, anyway! My oldest also talks politics and money and is really quite worldly for a teenager, but the sewage talk remains.
Hahah – I’m surprised they didn’t try to work farts in there somewhere.
Well, they have to leave something for later…
Kids just say it like they feel it. Gotta love that!
I do, and they keep me entertained. Thanks for stopping by. I didn’t expect to see you in your post Freshly Pressed high.
Ha ha…see how dedicated I am to you
I’m afraid I’m not much help though. I’m delirious…
I remember the feeling.
It’s fun, huh? Fun, but draining….I’m ordering a pizza
Enjoy! You’ve earned it.
Pizza and beer. Yum! Thanks, Carrie!
Will it be naughty to say I liked the Offal part more than the autograph thing. I’ve never completely understood the autograph thing anyway, although I suppose it can be kind of cool. The offal on the other hand…
I pretty much assumed everyone would like the offal part better. There is an adolescent male in all of us, I’m sure…
How about “Read this book, and I promise you’ll become a hypochondriac and never leave your house again!” (I swear I know people who never left their house again after seeing “Outbreak”.) Okay, for actual marketing purposes, you might not want to use that.
And is that poop or air bubbles? Do you think this person has a lot of gas?
There is no poop in that colon. The white stuff is residual barium from a barium enema, for which this poor soul was adequately ‘cleansed.’ He obviously had some air pumped in as well. Fun times. But at least he’s immortalized in Microsoft Clip Art.
And um, yes, your hook line is certainly catchy, but it may not be the best marketing tactic to take if I want anyone to read the book…
Thanks for a good laugh!
I haven’t gotten the flu shot in about 9 years. Then, suddenly, for some strange reason, this year it seemed like a good idea. I don’t suppose it has anything to do with reading your book??? And boy, did I forget how much shots hurt. I got it 2 days ago, and still my arm is sore. Hope you’re happy.
I am terrible at one-line phrases to describe books. But I do love your boys’ humor. Never a dull moment, I’m sure.
Good for you for getting your flu shot. Hopefully you’ll stay nice and healthy. But I know, my arm swells up every year from it, too.
Isn’t it amazing how boys go directly to poop and body parts?! Hilarious!
I bet you get lots of that as a teacher! (And a mom.)
How ’bout, “Don’t be the last person on your block to catch The Scourge. It will banish your evil humours and restore purity to the blood. Act as Patent Zero to your book club, and infect the ladies with a book-based blickey, a literary extinction event–we assure you, they’ll stick to it like phlegm to a Kleenex. Remember, you can’t spell ‘influenza’ without ‘fun’ (seriously–it spells ‘inleza’ which sounds more like a Spanish name than anything else).
And, as previously noted, it will have a profound effect upon the development of your man-meat.
“You can’t spell influenza without fun”—-That may be the best hook line yet: Read The Seneca Scourge, because you can’t spell influenza without the fun.
Book club ladies everywhere will love it. Is morbid and sassy all at once. Well done!
I love boys! Having two of them myself I remember these types of dinner times quite well. The mistake you made was asking the question at all.
I once took my sons to the zoo, they were about 11 and 13 at the time. We stopped at the Mandrill viewing what a treat. The male was seated atop a large rock masturbating, repeatedly. Most families were dragging their children away rapidly, I however could not move my sons fast enough they stood there pointing and laughing uproariously. For the next several years one of their favorite insults was “Mandrill boy”.
Oh, my sons would have marked that as the best zoo trip ever. But I don’t fight it much. Boys are boys, and their sense of humor keeps me young. It also provides good blog fodder…
Thanks for that story. Gave me a good laugh.
Your world sounds very similar to mine, except I’m not a published author
. Latest line from my youngest is “I take offence at that”. “Mum, why are you still wearing your work clothes? I take offence at that.” To which I respond “I would be most offended if you did not take offence”. Teenage boys, gotta love ‘em.
BTW, the kindlegraph sounds like a great concept!
Haha. I’m sure my boys would have a lot to”take offence” at with me. I’ll be sure not to tell them that one.
it’s to early to think in the morning, but as to those hook lines i thought they were pretty humorous. the flu one definitely a good one. as to that manly type one i could see a george carlin using something like that as he had some grungy stuff. i’d say that these boys if they were to end up in a blue collar factory, they’d do just fine. have a good one today carrie.
Yes, with verbal sewage like that, my kids should fit in just about anywhere. I’m so proud.
Can’t think of anything witty but I’ve had a ball reading everyone else’s!
Yes, there are some good ones here. Such talent in the WordPress community…
Couldn’t reply to this last night. No idea why. The reply button simply wouldn’t work. More WP goodness I guess.
And yes! I’m astounded at how much talent there is in this community of ours. For years and years I’d slave away at my writing without ever having anyone to talk to about it. Now a good conversation is just a click away. Love it.
And no need for a telephone call. The Internet is an introvert’s dream.
-grin- A dream that comes true. I’ve become so much more gregarious ‘here’ it’s not funny.
You should use the man-meat one, for sure. I’m not sure if it would score more points with men or women, though.
I think you’re right. And certainly no concerns about false advertising with that one…
My boys are 24 and 22 but I’ve been there, done that. Mine spent most of the time calling each other gay and stupid. Every time I read the name of your book I see the word “scrooge”. So this comes to mind:
The Seneca Scourge – It ain’t the Scrooge, but it’s pretty damn bad.
Haha–that’s a good one! I’m thinking I should create a post showing people’s hook line suggestions. They’re all so good. And what an easy post–others will have done the work for me.
Lazy
I like to think of it as being resourceful.
Or energy conserving…..damn writers have a bloody answer for everything. :-p
I really like the flu shot line! Clever! The other one’s….well, pretty obvs a teenage boy came up with them. No offense of course. If my kid were to come up with a tagline it would just be “Read this book and ARRRRRRRR-AGGA!” And that’s not too catchy.
Yes, but your little cutie might add some drool to the mix, and that’s always fun.
Your boys are crazy! I just have one, so he still has his male flaws. One is showing me his ‘guns’ every second (his microscopic muscles that in his head look like Arnold Schwarzeneger’s in his heyday). Oh, and dancing. He’s always coming up with some smooth dance move to make me laugh. He’s actually quite good (which scares me. Where did he get the genes to do that, since both my husband and I fall in the Elaine from Seinfeld dancers?).
Yeah, my thin little 12 year old likes to show me his muscles, too. And today I caught him dancing Gangnam style. They really are a lot of fun. Wouldn’t trade them for the world–sewage talk or not.
Yes! They are a hoot. My sister has 5 girls and I’m always telling her that she is missing out. She doesn’t believe me, but that’s because she lives in a world of Barbies and fairy tales.
Yep. Barbies and fairy tales are a completely foreign world to me.
By the way, I haven’t received confirmation yet from Heidi that she received the Amazon gift card I emailed her. I hope she got it. Vanessa received hers. Please let me know if you hear anything about it.
Okay, I will email her and let you know what I find out.
you’ll drastically enlarge your man meat – that reallly made me laugh! I enjoy reading what your guys say – they are quite the characters!
Yeah, where he pulled that man meat from is beyond me. But I suspect he does it mostly to get a rise out of me and make it onto my blog.
It is my observation that the these male comments multiply exponentially with each additional male. Even adult males can fall to the ground in hysteria if you say the word “ball” instead of prefacing it with, say, “soccer” or “basket.” Even the other day on the soccer field the old-man ref had to join in the fun. Good luck.
Oh, you are so spot on with that comment. My husband is by no means absent in these conversations. And between the three of them, the words really get flying. At that point, there’s nothing for me to do but start clearing the dishes and exit gracefully.
I’d love to hear an “Awful Offspring Offal” book review
That’s a great idea actually. I’ll have to get my teenager to read it and summarize it as only he could do…
First of all, thanks for the colon picture, Carrie. It’s a beaut and one worth maybe framing. Secondly, your teen is hilarious (like you) and sounds like a bit of smarta*s (also like you?).
No kiddies to rile me, just children with paws.
Yes, I don’t suppose the apple falls far from the tree, does it?…
Good info about Kindlegraph. Thanks for sharing. You are a lucky blogger, indeed, to have so much material right at home, probably at the dinner table? Ech. However, the boys sound like they have a great sense of humor, and what could be better than that?
Yes, I get plenty of blog fodder from home. Too bad most of it is scatological or anatomical. But yes, my boys have great senses of humor. Makes for a fun, albeit ‘soiled,’ dinner.
Here’s a tag for you:
Feel the Surge:
Read The Scourge.
Ooh, I like it. That “Feel the Surge” might attract some of those “50 Shades” fans, even though there’s no sex in my book. They don’t need to know that…
SO that’s what a clean colon looks like. I’ve been trying to think of hook lines to offer but my mind seems to be less then sharp today. That’s OK some days are better then others. I’m thinking about the hook line about the second round of gonorrhea ah clever kids. :+)
“clever kids”—Well, that’s a nice spin to put on my kids’ verbal sewage.
As the proud owner of the much-maligned Y chromosome, allow me to explain. Notice the Y’s shape? There’s a reason for that. It allows for males to take at least 2 differing points of view and combine them into a single attainable goal. In their youth, males are often limited in their ability to think outside of the human body; hence, the biological references in the comments your sons made. This should not be used as means of judgment, as is common among the feminist left who despise anyone with a Y-chromosome, but still wish they also could urinate standing up. Once males mature and gain life experiences, their focus becomes more clear and less spermatologically-oriented. From the outside view, you may think I’m just talking crap, but believe me – that’s no bull!
As for a catch phrase, try this: ‘One woman’s battle against an invisible microbial menace.’
Ooh, I like that one! Clever and descriptive all in one.
As for the part about men outgrowing these tendencies, I’m not so sure given the fact that my husband joins right along in with my boys. But that’s all right. I love my Y-chromosome members, and their verbal diarrhea makes for great blog fodder.
Thanks for the comment!
So you got the teen-age boys perspective, here’s a few from a middle-aged female:
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
Lose that belly fat for good! You’ll be so busy devouring the book, you’ll forget all about cookies!
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
Have perkier breasts by the time you put the book down. Holding up a kindle is great work for your pectorals. Or you could just stand on your head and read.
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
Never worry about hot flashes again. Because you’ll be too busy worrying about killer flu outbreaks and basic survival.
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
Save Big Bird. (because Big Bird is trending, or he was, hell I don’t know but leave Britney, er, Big Bird Alone!)
The Seneca Scourge—Read this book and…
Help a sista’ out! She would do it for you. Because she’s nice. And then she can go shopping at Target and improve our economy! So buying this book makes you nice and boosts our economy!
Have a great day Carrie!
Oh, these are wonderful! Wouldn’t it be great if I could make false claims like that? Especially the reduction in belly fat? The book would fly off the electronic shelves.
Maybe if I get enough responses, I’ll have to put together a post of people’s suggested hook lines. That would be fun!
So much going on here! I’ve never in my life had a flu shot. It’s been 23 years since I had the flu. When there were four male dogs in the house, one husband, and one teenage son, the testosterone was overwhelming and crap and crap jokes were abundant. When I read your book, will I be frightened and scramble out for a flu shot? Are you planning a sequel?
Well, I always recommend a flu shot, but sadly, no flu shot would protect one from my virus…
No sequel. I’m ready for something new. And I’m glad to learn I am not alone with the crap-joking making teenagers.
Hahaha, awesome. Now I really need to read your book.
Hmmm, perhaps my boys are my best marketers…
Thanks for the kick in the pants. Kindlegraph was on my list of things to do, but I was procrastinating because it creeps me out that they snoop the list of people I follow on Twitter and there’s no way to opt out. Sigh.
Okay, fine, I did it anyway. It’s not like privacy really exists online. I just hate the thought that now there’s yet another group of people peering up my colon…
I didn’t know they did that. Shows my naivete. Lovely. But as you point out, privacy is pretty tough to find. Anyone can see who one’s followers are on Twitter, but it is creepy to think someone’s actively looking.
Yeah, I emailed Kindlegraph about that – it’ll be interesting to see what their answer is (if any). In Canada, privacy laws require that companies only collect personal information that is required for the services provided – they’re not allowed to collect anything else. I’m not sure what the legislation is in the States, but I’d think it would be equivalent. I’ll let you know what I find out.
It was also interesting that there’s no way to contact Kindlegraph until you sign up and provide your personal information. Creepy, n’est ce pas?
Oui.
Wow, I got a quick response from Kindlegraph. Apparently they request the minimum amount of information from Twitter – the fact that they get access to the list of people we follow is forced by Twitter, not requested by Kindlegraph.
I’m impressed with their quick response – and feeling reassured, too.
Thanks so much for passing that info on. I appreciate it. And yeah, makes me feel better, too.
The Kindlegraph thingy is pretty cool – never heard of that before
And I love reading these inspired teenage boy sayings – it always helps me to know my boys are normal 
And by reading your comments, I then know MY boys are normal. Which is a huge relief, because some of the stuff that comes out of those mouths…
I’m still stuck on the fact that microsoft clipart had a picture of a colon.
I know, right? How cool is that? They’re always there for me. Well, except for the sleazy salesman image from the last post–they had none in their collection.
Thanks for a good laugh. And by the way, I was over commenting on your blog while you were over here. Must be some time of telepathy for us Prius owners.
Well, if you use the one about enlarging your man meat, you’ll get a hell of a lot of sales. He does have a point there.
This is true. Hmmm, something to consider. Now, how to skirt that whole ‘false advertising’ issue?…
Read The Seneca Scourge – It will
scare the crap out of youclean your colon!There you go! And I could use the post-barium enema xray I posted for a visual effect. By the way, you might enjoy conversations with my boys…
I don’t think the potty jokes have more to do with the teenage years than just being male. It’s sad to say but it’s true. I feel for you!
I can’t believe nobody is giving you catch phrases for your book! Here are a few on top of my head…
The Seneca Scourge – I warned you to read this book but you didn’t and now you’re dead, you idiot!
The Seneca Scourge – why you need to learn the elbow sneeze
The Seneca Scourge – get that damn flu shot already!
The Seneca Scourge – do you want to live or do you want to die? Your choice.
The Seneca Scourge – and you thought your last stomach bug was bad
I’ll have to read the book to give you some catch phrase ideas. Yes, shoot me now, I haven’t read it yet and I’m soooo behind on my reading. Oh, and I still have to get my flu shots and do the same for my kids…
You have no idea how much you just made me laugh. Oh, man, I needed that. I can’t even choose a favorite, because they’re all so good. I might have to go with the first one. Doesn’t get more direct than that.
As for reading my book, no worries. Maybe you can hold off until my next one, the one that I want to be so good it snags a big publisher and an agent. And then you can go back and read my first one and say, “Oh, my, she had plenty of room for improvement, didn’t she?”
Thanks for a great comment!
You’re welcome! I’m hoping to get a Kindle for Christmas if Santa is kind to me so I might grab the book (and others then). I can only get your PDF version right now and I’d have to read it on my laptop screen, which is OK but the Kindle would make it easier.
Yes, we spend enough time on our computers. Reading a book from it is not very appealing.
Males never outgrow some types of humor, do they….
Well, much as your book makes me appreciate the existence of flu shots, the one I got yesterday doesn’t leave me excited at the prospect of doing it again. We could get them at the office yesterday, and EVERYONE was complaining about how much they hurt. Granted, it was probably a result of the person injecting us. But did my arm ever hurt last night. And today? Aches. I know. Better than full-blown flu. Still… ow and yuck!
It’s the person injecting. I’ve had some where I swear they hit bone, and my deltoid is blown up like a balloon. I’ve had others that were barely a pinch (though I always tend to get some swelling). There was one nurse that I always hoped would be working when I got my shot in the office, because she was the best at giving them. Not sure what she did, but she had my high praise.
All right, I’m glad to know I wasn’t exaggerating last night when I told my husband it felt like my humerus was hurting as much as my muscles!
That upper arm still feels leaden today. 
Just so your pandemic doesn’t hit. It would really be a downer to have gotten a flu shot and then succumb to a previously unknown and deadly strain!
Yeah, kind of like what happened with H1N1. THAT was a fun fall in the pediatric clinic and ER…
Your boys are hilarious–the tag lines are awesome! Kindlegraph is a really cool idea too; I had not heard of that one.
Yeah, it’s pretty neat. I see the “50 Shades” author is on there. Can’t imagine she keeps up with kindlegraphs! Oh, to only have that problem…
I’ll have to check out kindlegraph. Thanks for the idea. I did create an about.me account. It’s always fun to learn new things. So much technology to choose from!
I’m glad you have all those boys and not me. I produce enough offal on my own, I don’t need others crap!
Oh, to only hear the stories behind that offal you’ve produced…
I’ll have to see if I can find your about.me page. I’ll try clicking that ‘compliment’ button, just for grins and giggles.
Oh. I have to find you, too!
Okay, I just pushed all the buttons on your about.me page. Your page is much better than mine. I need to tend to my own and upload a real photo. You’re my hero.
I didn’t even have my super-hero cape on or anything. Love it when you push my buttons!
You don’t need a cape. You’re that powerful.
Oh, you really know how to speak my language – give me a detailed X-ray of a colon and I’m putty in your hands! Maybe that could be the hook: Read the Seneca Scourge and your colon will sing my praises?
Wow, if you were a teenager, I’d introduce you to my son. You two apparently have a lot in common…
Thanks for a good laugh–I like your hook. Who doesn’t want a joyful, melodic colon?
I had never heard of Kindlegraph! I will have to look into that.
As for boys, we never have a dinner conversation that doesn’t devolve into bodily functions or body parts. It’s infuriating. My daughter (ally) and I roll our eyes across the table at each other. We can’t take them out anywhere. ; )
I know the feeling. It seems even worse somehow, when I’ve spent a great deal of time creating a wonderful meal. You’d think I’d learn, yet my hopes always start out high that we’ll engage in stimulating conversation. And we usually do. It just deteriorates, and we’re right back to poo and anatomy talk. Glad I am not alone!
Thanks for the mention! So glad it appeared in the “dignified” section rather than the “offal” section.
I also live in a house full of testosterone (well, I’m not sure the neutered cats count, but they get as crazy as the other boys). It’s not usually too bad, except there is a running joke among them about something I don’t get at all (I’m sure it’s rude and crude). They never tire of bringing it up and watching me squirm with bewilderment as I try to figure out what the meaning could possibly be.
“So glad it appeared in the ‘dignified’ section rather than the ‘offal’ section.”—-I snorted a little Diet Dew when I read that, because it made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the nasal mucosa burn.
Yeah, I’m guessing it’s best you don’t find out what your boys are saying. It could prove uncomfortable for all parties involved. I remember when my son came home from football camp and I said, “So, did you learn new stuff from all the lewd and crude talk from your upper classman?” The smirk on his face was answer enough…
Oh, by the way, I requested a Kindlegraph from you. Not sure if you received it.
I did, and sent it back–did you not get it? Hmmm. (And I reciprocated by requesting one form you). Perhaps we can help Kindlegraph debug.
No, I didn’t get your Kindlegraph nor your request. But it appears the joke’s on me, because I thought I was supposed to receive it by email. Duh. I just logged into my Kindlegraph account and saw both there. I never claimed to be wise about these things…
Thanks for your Kindlegraph, and I will send one to you as well! What would I do without your trailblazing guidance?
Aw, thanks. And I am honored to have said something humorous enough to make you snort!
My nose is all better now.
I have no hook lines to offer, but just wanted to to say that Kindlegraph thing is such a great idea! Getting your book has been on my to-do list, but now I feel like I have to bump it up to the top of the queue. I really don’t want to crap blood. That sounds like a bad day.
Yeah, those bloody stool days suck. As does gonorrhea. So glad my son finds protection against these in my book (which he hasn’t even read)…
Thanks for your interest in my novel and for stopping by!
I haven’t got any particular comment about your post, not that I didn’t find it amusing or interesting of course, but I’ve been waiting anxiously for you to post so that I could tell you this weird thing…
A few nights ago I had a dream that I was looking in your fridge! It was well stocked and clean, but at the bottom were a lot of crumbs. You saw me looking and you said “Well hey, everyone has crumbs in the bottom of their fridge right?”. How random is that?! I figure there must be some deep hidden metaphorical meaning behind it, I just have to work it out, what do you think?
Oh, and, great post!
First of all, I’m glad I’m not the only one who dreams about bloggers. I’ve posted on three such episodes before. I’ve had a couple more dreams, but I don’t want to scare people away by posting on them too frequently.
Second of all, that dream is kind of eerie, because Monday night, I made my husband pull out the fridge so we could clean underneath it. It was digusting. Old food, dust bunnies–everything but a weird alien spider web. So while that’s not exactly crumbs inside my fridge, it’s most certainly crumbs underneath my fridge. Very strange that you dreamed about my fridge while I was cleaning under it… Mwahahahaahhaha!
I think it actually was Monday night that I had that dream! Because I did a blog post on Tuesday, and after I replied to your comment on there, I remembered that I had meant to tell you about my dream the night before! And seeing as we’re a few hours ahead of you here in the UK, I very possibly WAS dreaming it at the same time as you were doing it! That is actually a little bit spooky! I had better keep you informed of any future dreams I have that involve you…
Okay, now I’m really blown away. I’m starting to think you’re magic, what with all those wins and now signs of telepathy. I’ll work hard to stay on your good side.
You’re right, I AM magic
Of course you’re already on my good side because you’ve given me a prize, so you should be fine, it’s the others that have to work hard now!
Neat, does that mean I could request a Kindlegraph for “Seneca Scourge”? And then you could ignore it? And then I’d cry! And you’d laugh! Aaaaah, good times!
Agreed, a pretty catch line you ended up with, although I must say the other ones have a nice shock value to them!
It’s cool you have your kids so involved in the process, must be a great feeling to have family support things so wholeheartedly
Yeah, my boys are pretty cool. My youngest told his teacher and class about my book release. Nothing like a little familial marketing to magnify that sleazy salesman persona…
And yes, I registered with Kindlegraph, but no, I’d never ignore you, but yes, I might still make you cry.
Hah! All men are the same!
Yes, I was being nice pretending it was just my boys saying these things. But many times the husband joins it. It truly must be the testosterone. Of course, I use it as blog fodder, so what does that say about me…
Thanks for stopping by!
The dignified and the crap may be a good way to divide my blogging. Good idea. Also, since you know I am a fan of crap, you will not be surprised to learn that I adore your teenager and his ideas.
Yes, he’s certainly creative. Too bad it has to be on such a tawdry level. Then again, I’m glad to know my novel protects against STDs, bloody stools, and insufficient manhood.
Your novel has some awesome powers.
Yes, indeed.
