Cool Meme
If you’ve read my blogs, then you know I never do memes. I find enough to yak about it seems. But THIS one was different (see the 6/10/07 post “Tagged!”) and intrigued me, so here goes:
“Turn to page 123 in your work-in-progress. (If you haven’t gotten to page 123 yet, then turn to page 23. If you haven’t gotten there yet, then get busy and write page 23.) Count down four sentences and then give us the next paragraph.”

Dialogue, uh oh, is that bad? Yikes, wishing it were something better…
What did I do for my art in the last few days? I bought How to Become a Famous Writer Before You’re Dead: Your Words in Print and Your Name in Lights by Ariel Gore, who’s blog I immediately liked. Maybe it’ll give me the kick in the butt I need.
Hey, dialogue has got to happen somewhere in the novel - it may as well be happening on page 123. The great thing is that you had a page 123. As for How to become famous writer before you’re dead - I don’t want to wait that long. Adding you to my blogroll!
Hi Diane, cool, I blogrolled you too.
Yea, I don’t want to wait that long, but we’ve all got to “start” somewhere… I read it was a good kick in the butt book, so I thought I could CERTAINLY use that!
