Armadillos and Skinks

[j_cheney]

I got my group of manuscripts for the ArmadilloCon writer's workshop today. All four reads are novel starts, (as is mine) and one of them appears to be from a well-published novelist that I've met before. That's kind of nice, although I think the piece is likely to be humorous, which is not my favorite thing to read. We'll see. (Another looks uber-serious, but that might just be the 10 point Times New Roman font)

Anyhow, it looks to be a promising group.

Found a blue-tailed skink floating uspide down in my watering-can today, so I emptied him out the end...after which he promptly turned over and wriggled away into the grass. I had assumed upside-down-floating meant dead lizard. I'm glad to have been wrong. ;o)

Don't enjoy humorous huh? My 'inner chipmunk' is now whispering that I should keep my work away from you ^_^

The inner chipmunk is always questionable...

maybe the lizard was only doing the back stroke? floating while relaxing and watching the sky?

here's hoping the manuscripts you have to read aren't too bad.

Actually, I usually get pretty good ones for that WW. I haven't started reading yet, but at first glance, they look pretty good. ;o) (I hope they're saying the same thing about mine...)

Spa lizard? I didn't see any little lizard sized air-mattress...

maybe she was really fast with removing it so you couldn't bust her. ;)
