OH, THE UPS AND DOWNS!
Last week, I had such a bad writing day I was ready to smash my horrible, vile computer to bits. But this morning, I got an idea for a new pb and I RAN to my lovely, wonderful computer and typed it all up. And guess what? It does not stink!! It might not appeal to everybody, but at least I know that it does not stink because I've already gotten some very positive feedback from my fabulous and brilliant crit group. (Thanks fabulous and brilliant crit group!)

It's one of those metafictional books. I didn't know that term, but Anne Marie was kind enough to let me know. You see, I had no idea what this type of book was called, so I was just calling it weird and ridiculous. Now I know it's metafictional! That sounds so much better, doesn't it? (Thanks, AM!)

OOPS! I almost signed my real name. Or, at least, what some of you guys think is my real name. ;)

(Phew! That was a close one.)

You are metafictionally brilliant, my dear. :)

Ooh! I do weird and ridiculous! Am I writing metafiction and don't even know it? What's the definition? Yes, it sounds way better--I'd much rather say I write metafiction than funny bunny stories.

Here's the definition from dictionary.com:

"Fiction that deals, often playfully and self-referentially, with the writing of fiction or its conventions."

It most certainly does not stink. I am sure of it.
YAY for new ideas! YAY for new projects! YAY for being productive!

It's cool and fun and a breath of fresh air. My prediction is--It's going to make a splash. :-)
