The sun has finally come out tonight. It's 9 pm and everything looks cool and summery. I've started a new story for a contest and it has to be done in a couple days.
Whoo-hoo!
If it doesn't win, at least I have a new one out looking for a neighborhood to invade. I have been thinking of all kinds of things lately. Not worldly stuff. Nope not me. Just stuff like how and when will I leave the Yukon. As for the BOOGALOOS front, I received a new drawing from one talented Tom Moran. It is the pen and ink for the BOOGALOOS Deluxe Edition. This one will be enhancing The Lost Chapter: The Ghost Story of '79. And it's a fabulous rendering of the tale. One thing I can say is that this book will be the proudest achievement of mine to date. One always things the story you are working on as the greatest, and that's really true, but BOOGALOOS is a story by all means that shouldn't even exist.
It started out as something because I couldn't think of a tale from beginning to end. It took more than a month, I guess, to write the damned thing. I just kept adding line by line. By the end of it, I hated every word, every sentence and every paragraph. When I was feeling lonely and desperate for some kind word about my life I sent it to my pal, Louise Bohmer. As I've said in the past, she loved it. Actually, I think she loved the talking rat; however, I am sorry to say it's gone. But, there is still something in the text, a ghost of itself, just for Louise.
So, as I was saying earlier, I was thinking on when and how I will leave here for the south. Not that it matters much really. In time, I will be patrolling the southern Canadian hemisphere, closer to my writing buddies and a lot closer to the land of creativity.
