So, I'm wondering. - Page 10

I wonder, can traci's deaf dog really hear himself? Maybe.

I wonder, do they know there are ways for ladies with phenomenal amounts of excuses NOT to go to bed with their husbands to get knocked up?

I wonder, will I ever understand men?

I wonder if about the Sea lion thing too.. thats intriguing.

Things are not looking good for me for tonight.. I wonder if they'll look good for me at any time in the next.. two months or so?

I'm wondering about my self imposed dry spell. And I'm shaking my head at it.

I'm wondering about pseudonyms. I want to write books and poetry for children. And I want to write short stories and fiction for young-adults and adults. But, and some of you are already well aware of this, I tend to write about things that aren’t suitable for children and I don’t really want my writing for adults to be associated with what I’d be writing for kids. It’s the Lemony Snicket / Daniel Handler conundrum. Sure, even his kids books are a bit dark and twisted, but in a way that’s totally wonderful, witty and appropriate.

His book Watch Your Mouth is an operatic exercise in incest intrigue and pornography. Sort of. Understandable that he’d not want Daniel Handler beneath his A Series of Unfortunate Events. Of course, the pseudonym may have had less to do with modesty and more to do with his desire to be clever and have Snicket be an actual character in A Series of...’.

Anyhoo, I’m wondering what you guys think. If you were writing for kids, and writing for adults, and you wanted to use pseudonyms, would you want your real name attached to the adult works, or the kids? Seems like it would be more fun to get creative about coming up with an author’s name that kids’ would think super duper fun and strange.

Also wondering if any of this is necessary, as there are plenty of authors who write for adults and for kids, and just have the one name. But I love coming up with fun names!

Wondering if visual artists ever do this. Painters are sometimes accused of not being focused if they exhibit artwork that is varied in style. One could avoid this silly criticism if one simply submitted different styles of art work with different names. Tricky tricksters.

I’m also wondering what I’m going to do this weekend with no plans, little cash, and a desire to do something fun and social.

I wonder why I have seen Ally at least twice but we have never met?

I wonder if I will actually get to see anyone this weekend since the people I really want to see are playing Invitational?

(I wonder if I should tell anyone that I'm bringing the 'One that Got Away' to MA?)

And to Eliza... I'd be tempted to use the pen name on the children's books. Something easy to remember... thats what I'd do.
And yes, I would totally have two names! I love discovering years later that two people were one in the same!

Very carefully? We have both a Tinky Winky doll (the talking one that says, "again again" but sounds like "I'm gay I'm gay!") and a SpongeBob, so I'll experiment with them a little later. Right now I'm busy wiping spit off my monitor!!!

Wondering if my excavation contractor will actually honor me with his presence tomorrow.

Wondering if I'll be able to resist stomping a mudhole in him if he does.

Grrrr

Wondering why I'm so thoroughly enjoying Claire's posts today. Lesbian tongue baths has never really been my bag... until now it seems. <goes for a cold compress>
