Like Weeds
I started ANOTHER blog. It's pink.
Ew, I know, but it's kind of a theme. It's called "Josephina's Northern Pig" and it's a retelling of a classic fairy tale that's been in my head since I was a small child. The original was published under the title "The Pig from the North" I think, in one of Andrew Lang's Fairy books (Red?). I reset the story in the late 1700's England, and gave the characters names, rather than just titles (Youngest Princess, Pig, King, etc). I'll be publishing it a piece at a time. Neither of the two of you who follow this blog will likely be interested in a fairy tale, but I just thought I'd let you know, in case you get really bored one day and could use something random to read.
All of the fairy books are available in .pdf format at the Gutenberg Project, if you are impatient for the end of the story. Just don't let your co-workers catch you at it. You'd never live it down.
If you're feeling too sensitive about your masculinity to attempt to follow my modest prose, you might be interested in my plans to publish my latest novel also as a blog. The novel is a psychological thriller about a girl being held hostage by her stepfather. That novel is written, but would need to be severely pared down for blog publishing. It's too wordy.
Whatever. Anyway. Nobody gets THAT bored, do they?
