Writer’s Block #5: I Love Wednesday

5 Sep

September 5, 2013

Writer’s block. Author’s bane. Shakespeare’s hob. Fifty shades of I don’t know. Whatever you call it, writer’s block sucks. So once again I turn to the list of oddball writer’s prompts used by “colleges and universities” around the country. Today’s prompt comes from The University of Chicago, from 2002: How do you feel about Wednesday?

How Do I Feel About Wednesday?

Ahh, Wednesday, named after the god Woden, goddess of my heart. Center of the week, center of my life. I love Wednesday. And why not? She is smart and beautiful, lovely and luscious, the woman of my dreams, my soul mate.

Now I admit that Wednesday Addams may be a bit young for me, but I think we have a connection, a bond, a mutual psychic link. And Gomez would make the perfect father-in-law.

I can only hope that Wednesday and I have a long and happy life. We are made for each other.

How do I feel about Wednesday?

I feel love.

My Beautiful Wednesday!

My Beautiful Wednesday!

Writer’s Block #4 / I AM THUNDARR!

Damn you Allan Keyes! You screwed me again! I ask you, Dear Reader, was there a new Fun With Teh Internets this week? No there was not. And in the Sneak Peek of the Week I promised he’d be back. Damn you Allan Keyes! and worse, I don’t know what to write. So it is back to the list of for-real, real deal, strange but true writing prompts used by schools around the country.  

In the year 2050, a movie is being made of your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summarize the story line. (NYU, 2009)

The year: 2050. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man’s civilization is cast in ruin! Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil. He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

Yes! I AM THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN! And before you call shenanigans, I must point out that this movie will be made in the future, in 2050. Who are you to say that this will not happen? By 2050, Thundarr the Barbarian will be a historical documentary. And I WILL BE THUNDARR!
