BeccaInaDaffydill: Has it really been that long? Goodness me.


BeccaInaDaffydill: Back posting for a bit! Not sure how long the muse will let me.
    DIS-illusioned: Sneak in a couple o' extra lines when she ain't looking. :) -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: I try! But that darn Muse has taken up residence in a quaint little cabin in my brain, and she's very tenacious. -


BeccaInaDaffydill: Here's a poem by my daughter: (definitely my kid haha)
My Buddy

I have a buddy
My buddyâ??s a toad
Even though heâ??s flat on the road
But he is my buddy
My buddy to stay
Least â??til the wind blows him away

    adewpearl: Please tell Lizzy I am howling with laughter - gotta love a kid who shares my love of gallows humor, or roadkill humor, as the case might be LOL :-) -


BeccaInaDaffydill: I'm still alive! Still writing but not posting, since I'm working on a novel and would prefer to be done before I begin sharing :-) Love y'all!
    nor84: That's a good plan. Saves you from having long gaps between posting chapters, due to life getting in the way of your writing. -


BeccaInaDaffydill: I have decided to school my daughter at home through the PA Cyber school. We're on our second week, and so far it's going very well. Even though I have almost 3 years left on my FS subscription, I probably won't be sharing much.
I miss you all!


BeccaInaDaffydill: Crickets, cicadas and katydids...insectal chatter is almost as bad as women who gossip a lot.


BeccaInaDaffydill: Yesterday a sparrow berated me for not posting here. I told it that I don't take kindly to birds who use that sort of language, but I'd see what I could do...
    another jim: Did you try washing his little beak out with soap? ;-D -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: Yeah, the bubbles in the aftermath were quite amusing. Get off my case, PETA! ;-) -
    Xylok: tell the sparrow you love it...and try your hardest to mean it ;) -
    Xylok: update the information, take on a whole new bad girl persona and post witch poetry and paint things in blood, then sing to us of lambs singing to angels singing to infants beneath moonbeams of rainbow confetti and all that! :) -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: Yeah, well the second volume is turning out kinda dark anyway :-) Oh, and btw, I plucked the sparrow for dinner. -
    Xylok: lol to has nothing to do with lemonade...maybe

    AWESOMATION! -


BeccaInaDaffydill: If anyone reads this, and I don't know why you would...I'm still alive. And that's not all it's cracked up to be ;-) Some days it's more, some days it's less, but it's always something, isn't it?
    Xylok: we'd read it cuz you rock -


BeccaInaDaffydill: Dance and sing we are eternal
Let us still be mad with drinking
'Tis a madness less infernal
Than the madness caused by thinking
~John Davidson 1857-1909


BeccaInaDaffydill: Can't decide whether to sleep or write. Sleeping's been winning lately. :-/
    another jim: REAL writers do both...at the same time.

    LOL! -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: dang, why didn't I think of that? I don't suppose any of you have a direct-brain-downloading notepad you can loan me? -
    ethveg: Suggestion: do NOT do both at once - that's just going from bed to verse! -
    Xylok: WARNING: THIS POET IS AMAZING. TOO MUCH EXPOSURE TO HER POETRY IN ONE NIGHT CAN RESULT IN INSTANT EUPHORIA AND UNCONTROLLABLE FITS OF JEALOUSY. OVER-ENTERTAINMENT IS REAL, WATCH OUT. -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: Thanks y'all for the funny comments and kinda sweet Mr Xylok. Bed to verse - that was so bad it was good. -


BeccaInaDaffydill: I could smell Autumn in the air today, and I thumbed my nose at her.
    shelley kaye: *breaks becca's thumb*

    angelawhitelaw: Hi, Angie here. I listed my web address on my profile page if you'd like to check out the freebie's. What's your email? -
    tamarap2: Ah, autumn. Here in Florida we don't get much of an autumn, so of course I would be happy to be in your shoes -


BeccaInaDaffydill: Prophesy is once again being fulfilled. There is a blinking green light, a tree whispering, and journal entries that come to life when read with the wisdom of years lived.


BeccaInaDaffydill: So: there was a nest of song sparrows in the bush under our bedroom window. I slid up the window and screen to knock a spider out, and all the babies flew out. Our one cat of course was right there, and took off with one. I flew out the door barely dressed, no shoes, after him. Through the woods, through the prickers. Finally...he dropped it. At least one baby is back in the bush.


BeccaInaDaffydill: My cat is too lazy to even go after a chipmunk I've caught in a net.
    Kathryn Varuzza: I love it! I can just picture him too. My cat, is a beast, he'd be all over it. -
    BeccaInaDaffydill: He went up a tree after it, but once it started attacking back, he got irritated. My other cat, the female; it would've been over in seconds hahah. -
    tamarap2: Becca, I have a question that you can probably answer. Does one's ranking also depend on the number of pieces submitted along with the number of views/reviews, aside from each individual piece's number of stars? And why do some writers with much lower rankings have five plus stars in their profile, while others with much higher rankings have five stars? Sometimes, things don't seem to make sense. At least to me. -
    tamarap2: Oops, sorry. Meant to send this inquiry to you private messages. wasn't paying attention. Watching TV at the same time. -


BeccaInaDaffydill: Hey there folks, I just read a really funny story by a new fanstory member. If you like somewhat bent humor, check him out!
