Amelia pics
Draft due in 23 days and it's slow going... just received a few of the possible shots for the jacket-cover though. We did a bunch of shots and then decided to try some with Amelia. She was cooperative for the most part but not exactly an angel...
Amelia looks like quite the angel compared to the last monkeys I had to deal with. They threw poop at me and stole my cookies. You know how hard it is to find kosher cookies in Vietnam? And I'm pretty darn sure that those monkeys didn't even keep kosher. Amelia is like, Miss Manners in comparison to those Vietnamese gangsta thug monkeys.
The monkey appears to be fondly attracted to you. Just when I thought I was a lover of all animals, it wasn't reciprocal. There was a time when I was a kid a llama tried to bite my hand at the zoo. My grandmother's cat had a perpetual scowl on her face. However, I still love my cat, Bruce the Callous Conservative. He's a killer. Already, I've caught him with the remains of a bird's feathers and caracasses of insects.
I remember the tedious days of deadlines as a journalist. Honestly, I'm in no rush to finish this novel I've set aside. I'd like to hear from you on what it's been like working with a publisher, and the demands you're expected to meet. Take care and glad to find your blog.
thank you for the amazing comment on my sloppy excuse for a story. ha ha ha ha. and ive never been quite so honored by a comparison. and worry not my friend. i am much much much less depressed that sir charles. i love the way you write. calls to mind a lazy autumn morning.
I am a writer and a recent college grad. My first book, Everything Sucks, will be out in August. Keep an eye out!! I'd love to develop a community of writers and chatters and the odd iconoclastic complainers. Please comment if you feel inspired. Questions rants and rambles are always welcome.

ReplyDeleteDoes the monkey realize it's a prop?
ReplyDeleteJust saw the parsnip soup video and you were hilarious! I must say, that monkey does some good camera work too!
