Saturday 20 June 2009 - Kilroy was here-but you missed him-blame Jason!
Does anyone understand the importance of dashes? No. Well, let me tell you. Ahem-according to a school book they give a longer beak in a sentance. As in when a person is interrupted, as follows.
"Jack! Would you-"
"Hush!"
Or they show were a part has been added that seems to have nothing in common with the rest of the sentance but the author threw it in anyways because they are the author, it is there book, and they can-SO THERE!
It was made out of wood-very new wood-but the year was in the 1300's.
And you get the basic idea. This is a text book explaination. Now I shall give you mine.
Dashes are annoying pests whose sole purpose in life is to bug authors to no end. They make no sense whatsoever-no matter what my schoolbook says-and they delight in torment. And-horrors of all-I have found them popping up every time I write now! Plague on them! They deserve a slow and dermantic death-
In other news. I have FINALLY bought my plane tickets, after too many problems to count. I am flying to Chicago and seeing our own VintageAuthoress (Katie) and then to Indy for a conference then to Alabama to see our wild and dearly loved dixiefiddler (Sarah). I will be gone the whole month of August, and will actually get to see what summer is like. (We have no had summer here yet-well we did have a week of it-now it is cold)
Also, I am two chapters away from completing the fourth Marshall book! I am quite delighted, now if only I can figure the fifth one out-it has been giving me trouble since I thought it up. It has a SLOW start which I can't seem to fix.
Adieu!

dashes, they are delightful enemies... I always have dots nowdays... they pop up everywhere when I write... :-) and smileys!
Oh and it's been so long since I've been here.. *shame faced* =) I just had to leave a comment...
Oh your going to see Katie! How exciting! I wish I could meet her, and you.and Molly and Gabrielle and everyone on HSB :-D
Remember when you and Turumbar started the HSB gathering blog? I wish that would have worked out... maybe next year. There's alwyas a next year though and then all of a sudden there isn't...
Oh dear I'm being random and depressing :-D
I guess that's what happenes when I'm tired, which I am, quite! I'm having trouble typing too :-D!
So have they started filming VoTDT (voyage of the dawn treader...) ;-) I can't wait till that movie comes out! I get all excited just to think about it. You see it's my favorite of the books and I want them to do a really good job on it!
Oh I've missed leaving you long comments,so much, I forgot what it was like, I'll come back and leave another comment tomorrow and maybe I'll post a sane post on my blog tomorrow too, instead of the randomness that has seemed to have taken over my blog! :-D
Oh you should meet my real life friend Elle, she has gotten a blog and oh dear I really must go now!
Bye!
*dashes out of the room, down a country lane through a deep, green, forest full of little foresty creatures, and across a meadow, past the ruins of an old castle, and bursts through the front door of her house to catch her breath in the warmth of the fireplace*
None of those things exist in TX *sighs*
Oh, on your way to Alabama you should stop by TX!
