Why do I use "Boobs" so often? Good question. I think it's because "Boobs" is such a funny word. It's fun to say, even. And I'm terribly immature, which is why I write dumb, sexy funny stories.
And you're right, I have used the line before. 'Diplomacy' is the cut-down-for-length version of 'Encounter at Dumbpoint', which I posted a few days ago.
I'm in a writing group that has a ten page limit, and that works out to about 2300 words. I have a hard time telling stories in less than 3000, but I'm trying to learn. There is so much to learn.
Today's offering is an attempt to write something more serious, more mature. I don't think I do serious as as well as I do funny, but I'm still pretty new to all this.
Thank you. Thank you for telling me that. Writing these crazy stories is like dropping stones in a well, and listening for the splash. I'm still finding my way, blinding bumping into things, mixing metaphors. I'm still searching for the right balance of funny, sexy, sad, dramatic, and I don't know that I'll ever get it right. If I actually manage to write 52 this year, some of them are bound to be dogs. But maybe one of them will be a gem.
I can't promise you that I'll ever write something worthwhile.
But I can promise you that I will continue to try.
