I write and I read, mostly crime fiction these days. I teach writing, and I work as a freelance editor and manuscript critiquer. If I review books, it's from the perspective of a writer.
I wish I could say that those were the words I wrote! But I was guestimating everyone's put together.
Snail - managed four bookshops including a B&N, two great children's bookshops (one with a pet tarantula, chinchillas, ferrets and a chicken) and the best secondhand bookshop I've ever been in. I had to really control myself so as not to carry home an extra 20kg of book luggage.
9 rabbits, 7 squirrels.
You got your squirrel shot, Sherryl! Well done.
ReplyDeleteA most unusual cinquain but it says it all.
That's funny, Lorraine - are you sure you counted the syllables? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a very obliging squirrel indeed!
I'm exhausted by both the fauna and the word count!
ReplyDeleteThat'll never make a Christmas carol.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that it's all turning out well. (Squirrel photos included.) That's a lot of words, but nowhere near enough bookshops.
Have fun!
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIf I mail you a squirrel, will you send me back a wallaby?

Peter - maybe not a wallaby, but I could rustle up a small wombat perhaps!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks.
