Insecure Writer's Support Group......sort of

Here it is, another first Wednesday of the month. That can only mean one thing....(one and a half things in Newfoundland)...it's time for another installment of the Insecure Writer's Support Group mass posting!
If you would like to participate in this monthly fiasco, please visit the brains behind the operation, Alex J. Cavanaugh at http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.ca/  He seems like a hell of a nice guy, and an 'actual writer', which earns my admiration.

To tell you the honest truth, I've had so much going on here lately, that I had completely forgotten about the IWSG being today, until I was reading Arlee Bird's column....(column? )....I mean post, (although, Lee's posts could very well be columns in a newspaper!) just a little while ago. Lee is another fantastic human being, and, if you're not familiar with him yet, you can discover his talents here, http://tossingitout.blogspot.ca/ 

Alrighty then. Onward we go in the name of support....Everyone needs support every now and again...(even writers, and especially insecure ones.)

                                                                   
Support takes many forms. There is emotional support, financial support........support hose, (I mean those thick, elasticky, unbecoming stockings, not 'complementary' pantyhose...) support beams, support bras, tech support, child support, moral support, life support and support groups, like this one.

                                                                         
 Whenever I'm in a quandary, (that's right. I said 'quandary'.) about what to write, (like now), I usually just begin to write anything at all, and sooner or later, if I have something to say, it comes out ....but sometimes it's gripping the sides of the walls, as I drag it down the hall.....

                                                                           
Have you ever noticed that there's some great sentences out there? Some sentences are so well crafted that they're like little paintings.... .coloured with colourful words instead of actual colours ...
...They say writing is an art, but...most people don't hang sentences on the wall, like they do paintings.... it's very rare that you go into someone's house and see that they have a painting of a word, or a sentence on the wall...(and if they DO have a painting of a word, it's usually something like, 'PEACE'....or something in Chinese...(by the way....I seem to know a lot of white people with Chinese writing tattooed on themselves))....usually they have photos or paintings of scenery.

 I don't mean to imply that in order to be considered art, something must be hung on the wall....but you gotta admit, most people love to hang stuff on the walls....

                                                                  
I remember when I was a kid, our house, and the houses of everyone I knew, had wallpaper on the walls...wallpaper or a real colour.....these days, if you're renting, the walls are usually white, or beige, no wall paper or painting allowed! Why do you think people are afraid of a little colour?


(many hours later.......)

I'm so sorry, but, earlier today, I totally lost interest in doing this post....all I could think was, "I can't believe I was robbed!"  It's one of those things that you hear about all your life.....and when it happens to you, you think...."Shit! So THIS is what they were talking about! Not only is it horrifying...it's just really super creepy..."

I couldn't get the thought out of my head, so I went to work, (well...I was scheduled too...I suppose that's the main reason I went...not really because of thinking of the robbery...). and now I'm home, trying to finish this so I can put it up before midnight,  you know, while it's still officially the first Wednesday of the month.

In other thoughts:

Do any of you ever watch the channel for blind people when you're not blind? (oh no! ...I'm assuming none of you are blind.....and if you are, you probably know the channel I mean...)....I think that out of all the blind people who watch the descriptive video channel, most of them used to be able to see....because if you've never seen anything at all, in your whole life....what would you picture?
I like to watch, that channel....that way I can type and 'watch' a show at the same time...

..You know what I think would be an excellent job ?
 Being the person who records the 'descriptive video' descriptions. I wonder how much they make? Can you imagine their direction? (And by that I mean their orders..)
"These people can't  SEE. Make them wish they could."
And then you'd record a line like, "Archie glowers up at him."

                                                                     
I couldn't find a clip with the descriptive video, but it's nearly as funny with out it.

 Speaking of funny, check this out:

                                             All of a sudden it's gotten awfully tired in here....
                                                               Goodnight Everyone!
                                                                        Peace, and,
