Since I post on Wednesdays over at Ready, Aim, Hook Me (a group blog I'm proud to be a part of), I decided to have a bit of fun over here on my own personal blog.
My blog post over there today wasn't fun at all. Pretty serious business (but there is a Dairy Queen commercial in the post--that's a bit o' fun). We all know that receiving rejections suck. But did you know that handing out rejections to hopeful writers who are looking for a review sucks even MORE? Well, it does. It sucks rocks. It's hard to be a crusher of dreams. If you want to read more (which I hope you do) please pop over there and check it out. Being a reviewer isn't easy.
Now, on to the fun stuff. If you all recall, I have this super fun, nifty little app on my iPhone called "WHAT IF?" It will randomly select a question, most of the time the it's ridiculous and goofy, but it's fun to hear (in this case, read) other people's answers.
Is this a time waster? TOTALLY. But we all could use a minute of humor and fun to break up the tedium of writing or editing thousands of words. Think of this as a coffee break, if you will. I PROMISE that those who read this post and ACTUALLY leave an answer in the comment section, will find great joy and success in meeting their writing goals this day. Guaranteed.
Those of you who read this post, but DO NOT leave a comment, will be jinxed. (Insert the theme song to The Twilight Zone here--do not confuse this with the vampire movie).
Do you want to chance it?
Here is the question ( totally random, using the phone to generate it): "What if you had the opportunity to create exact clones of of yourself, how many would you create?"
My answer: Hmmm...If they were EXACTLY like me, then the world could be in a lot of trouble. Especially if they had all my bad traits as well--dislike for cooking, yard work, and laundry. A whole lot of lazy Me's wouldn't be fun. BUT, if each of them loved to write, my clone buddies and I could kick out a ton of novels. And, if we agreed to split up the household duties, each take one chore a piece, then wow all the blogging, tweeting, and writing we could do. Okay, assuming the later, I'll take four more of me. (Four is my favorite number). It could be a ton of fun. Except, if they have my knack for spending, we'll be living in the poor house. I'll have to keep my eye on them--no credit cards for clones.
How about you? How many clones could you use? Or are you willing to lose your writing mojo by not answering?
