expecting different results. "-Benjamin Franklin
So if you go by this definition we writers are totally off our rockers. I mean we send out submissions in hopes of getting a contract over and over again. Each time we get rejected, we just shake it off, and go to the next company. Granted a few of us are a bit more nutty than others, but I think we should embrace our insanity.
I mean everyone has to be a little crazy to deal with what’s going on in the world today. So use your insanity. As a writer I can go a little crazy, and let my mind go where it wants, no holding back. It just wanders around. If anyone says anything, I say I’m a writer and I’m thinking. It usually shuts them up for about five seconds. Then they start asking what I write, if it’s published then where and if I’ll sign it if they buy it. And I feel like I should’ve keep my mouth shut.
Ever feel like that? You have to start explaining everything, then they look at you like you’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Ah… well maybe it’s just me.
Hey I got the 100 post cool! Here are some more bumperstickers I thought were pretty neat.

Funny blog, Jade. I think I associate with your bumper sticker "My Mind Wandered And Never Came Back" plus the part about sending out manuscripts. Rejections only bother us for a short time because most of us are out there looking for the next publisher to send to leaving us little time to feel sorry for ourselves.

Mary- Thanks. Yup I agree, you have to have a thick skin or you won't get far in this business.
I've started to believe if you weren't a nut before you got into this business, you will be before it's all over. :) Seems to be the way I'm headed, anyway. ;D

I totally agree Wendi.
I love sayings. I could spend hours chuckling over things like this!

Cute Blog Jade,
I use that insanity quote myself. Thought it applied to Bush and Iraq war pretty close for four years.

Kissa- Thanks. I love these stickers.
Dee- Thanks.Yeah you're probably right,
Ahhh, Jade, you always make me smile, but this blog made me LOL. I think writers are a special kind of crazy :)
My favorite game is "Buttplug". Before you look at me like I'm some kind of kinky weirdo (which I am, he he), it's not a real game. It's a flash at www.newgrounds.com. But it's entertaining enough to make you wish it was a real game.
Go check it out! There's a search bar at the top where you can enter the title.
