Let The Good Word Fly

Let the good word fly
Though before I die
I'd like to make my living thus
And my good plan
With a site of my own
Could well be that

 But if it ain't
And it doesn't bring to me
That which I hope it can
Like not even  no
A handful yes
Though I'll feel bad
And be rightfully sad
I'll still carry on

 Aye it's what I do
Though not for money yet
Or ever as
The nayful sayers love to say
There ain't no day
Barring disease or injury
That I won't write

 Even if it never is but for
That which we all but need
Yes money don't you know
I'll still go go go
I'll just have to bend
And while keeping on until the end
Get myself right
As I should always be
Because while I ain't
No Asimov Barker King
Or dozens of others
Who've plied their way
With a good writer's drive
I'm surely able yes
To have success
As I've had it before

 Let the good word fly
Though before I die
I'd like it to be for real
That this is how I deal
With the living cost
I won't be lost
In the sadful depths
That it ain't the way
But dammit eh
I'll be such a happy writing man
That I hope my plan
Takes full effect
So I can hoot and holler
It's dollar on dollar
I'm making now
Like totally wow
Like totally wow indeed
You got words to read
And I'm the writer yes I am

Das Hier #50

Good morning humans. I hate the gravity of your world because it is hard on my back and my back has had enough of it and as a result, I woke up with a pain that that I cannot stand, so I am writing to you from the comfort of my bed. Though being true, because of the pain, there is no comfort but the comfort of escaping awareness through sleep. Hopefully I will find my way to sleep tonight because right now, it feels as though I will not. And you would be sure to read about it here if that was the case if not for one thing, I'm going to be stepping away from the blogging for the coming weeks. At the very least. It could be longer, but it will certainly be for at least three weeks. I know that I won't be missed too much as my small number of readers can attest to. What's going to happen with this blog? Drawings will be posted most days, but I have been in talks with a couple of writers, one alien and one human. Let me know in the comments which writer you...

Das Hier #35

It is painfully clear to me that I have been away from the words for far too long as I got caught up in the memoriams of humans that have made the pictures that they so love. I don't get their appreciation of these stories, because I find them too long and they often like to make followups. And to that idea I shake my head. Maybe it's odd that I think this as a writer, but it is how I feel. I don't even remember what I was going to write. Was I going to slam Dalton for calling me a quitter if I withdrew from the collective? He certainly deserves it, not that I hate him, but he was certainly an ass when he was dissing me for wanting the collective to succeed. But that was more than a half hour ago and that was too long for me to hold onto the thought that I had then. So I begin again.  Thoad stared in the sky, his mouth agape as the speed trail left behind by Merithee, remained vivid when she'd passed by more than five mi...

Wow, how is it so much brighter here than it was when I took the photo, with the lights or flash? Ugh. The science of nature am I right? I like this drawing a lot. Well, I'm not crazy about the pencil's beak, but apart from that, he's a good pencil and I will continue to draw them. Ideally with more colour choices  than the four that I currently have. But for now, however long now lasts, four will have to do. Spleck II will graduate past the black paper so that I have more choices. As for the little guy with his very own flag, he's a Pobadyd and all good Pobadyds have their own flags. Luckily for Poeth, there are many ways for a Pobaddyd to earn themselves a flag becuase there's really only one thing that Poeth is good at, since he's so small and easily beaten in all the physical ways that a Pobadyd can earn their flag. He's a brilliant public speaker and he saved a Pobadyd village with the finest oration...
