The exercise:
We're going to try something a little different today. Inspired by something Summerfield wrote here in response to a prompt a few days back, we're going to do up some fake business cards. The sillier the better, I reckon.
Finished all the caulking that can be done right now today, as well as chopped up some more firewood. The fireplace is working fantastically in the cabin - I was able to work in just a t-shirt and jeans again. But I am very, very tired and I will be taking tomorrow off.
Writing... should be interesting tonight. My brain is not firing on all cylinders at the moment.
Update: day twenty-two. Not totally happy with it, but there it is. Hoping to get the words moving tomorrow.

I always like these little caption-type prompts as it does bring out your occasional silliness! I hope the writing goes well -- you've built up enough of a buffer though to have one less-than-perfect day :)
ReplyDeleteI think I like your first and second ones best, though it may just be that I laughed the most at them because they were first. They're all good.

Not the best, but I tried. :) Love everyone else's.
I enjoyed today's NaNo, Marc. It was just a little hard to keep track of all the names and faces. Loved the bit of tension when the 2nd party wasn't at the meeting on time.
Greg - is my silliness only occasional? I must be getting too serious in my old age.
ReplyDelete'No child left misunderstood' is... so... awesome.
Zhongming - nicely done, I think I like your last one best.
Summerfield - the judge and the makeup artist made me laugh :)
Heather - I liked all three, but your last one was my favorite.
Morganna - yeah, I was having trouble keeping everyone straight as well. I had to write down a family tree before I even started and I still forgot Lake's wife! Ugh.
I like the idea of Dracula having a business card :)
