A quick little puzzle this week, so short in fact that I could only use the author’s name as the attribution. I made up for it by being unnecessarily verbose in the clues. Now this week’s subject – we’ve all heard the phrase “everyone has a book inside them,” and Hitchens’s addendum “which is exactly where it should, I think, in most cases remain.” Everyone who reads a lot probably thinks about writing a book, I have but I’ve never gotten farther than thinking about it. I have a few characters and a few scenes thought out but I’ve never put down a word in ink or pixels. I know we have a handful of writing Glibs – Mojeaux, Animal, UCS, and, I believe, a few more but I can’t remember their handles. How about the rest of you people, do you think you have a book inside, or ever tried to write one? Enjoy this glibcrostic and let us know in the comments…or don’t, you know the drill.

The night was humid…
When Fred Allen said this, he had me in mind:
The night was sultry

The night was moist.

Aw, SFW.
The night was as wet as a squirter after a gangbang.
Fred Allen!
My boomer relatives and I are impressed.
Hitchens’s addendum “which is exactly where it should, I think, in most cases remain.”
great advice
How about the rest of you people, do you think you have a book inside, or ever tried to write one?
I participated in this back in I think 2004:
https://nanowrimo.org/
I succeeded in generating a decent story and hit the 50K word mark. I never did finish the story. As has been the story of my life, without a deadline I lose interest.
Still, it was a fun exercise. I used to do a lot of writing for work and I fear sometimes that it burned me out.
I have finished 2.5 feature screenplays and 2 shorts.
The night was dark. And all the bourbon was gone. It was quiet. Too quiet.
As dawn crept gingerly across the dew-covered grass, she promised herself never to do tequila again.
^ This has potential.
The Walk of Shame?
The crawl of imbalance?
No, that is the night of. The Walk of Shame is the morning after.
Been there, done that.
But if I have a massive grin plastered on my face, is it really shame?
(Note to self: put a small bag with makeup, hairbrush, toothbrush, and change of clothes in the car tonight)
Do tell
Rawr!
The doe left the forest, thinking to herself, “I’ll never do that for two bucks again.”.

I love your theme days, Q.
“I have a few characters and a few scenes thought out but I’ve never put down a word in ink or pixels.”
I might have a little more than that in my head, but not much. And nothing written down.
Similar. I got a chapter or so down and then moved on to some other shiny thing. Probably for the best; I remember it being kind of embarrassing in retrospect.
Animal == Anderson Gentry
UCS == Robert McCarroll
Mojeaux == Moriah Jovan
Yeah, OK. 😉
This hath reminded limey to make time to listen to “Moriah” talk to the nice libertarian man.
It was a terrific interview. Woods shut up and let her talk.
🥰
I honestly don’t hear what about your voice or accent would make you self-conscious.
Limey! 🏴
My husband and Agent Sloper both said I didn’t sound like ME. I have a pretty nasally whiny voice, but sometimes my country rube accent goes away when I’m “on.”
Having never heard your voice until I listened to the podcast (bravo, btw), I thought you sounded fine. I did detect a little twang here and there, which surprised me. Since we’re all just text on a page here, I don’t really have a mentally-assigned speaking voice for everyone, but I guess because I originally hail from the north, I just never think of anyone having any other regional accent. If I’m able to secure a place in Texas it will be a jarring transition.
FWIW, the only sound in the world I would less rather hear than the sound of my own voice is Geddy Lee’s singing, and am fairly self-conscious about it, but I’ve actually had my voice complimented by strangers. It’s weird the bugaboos we make for ourselves.
Incidentally, on the topic of the podcast, I suspect the reason there’s little in the way of children’s material that’s libertarian in nature is that the concepts are too abstract. Most adults glaze over, let alone kids. It’s easy to simplify collectivist ideologies into innocuous and universal platitudes that kids have to learn anyway, such as sharing and cooperation. Spontaneous order through mutual pursuit of individual self interest is tougher to break down into a simple enough framework for children. I, Pencil is probably as good as it gets.
I really do think that you have to approach it from a point of making the grind of life attractive, and then stripping down the principles to “I can do what I want” and “What I want to do is be good,” and then you can ease the rest of the base principles into the work.
“I want to leave people alone and they will leave me alone.”
“Why is my paycheck less than what I worked for?” “Well, Jimmy …”
“Somebody should help that homeless man.” “We / the nonprofit / the church will help him because they / we want to and he needs help.”
Oh, it’s an awful pen name. I don’t know what I was thinking. Alas, I cannot blame substances.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PA2UeVnTb0
Oh, lord. Thanks for putting that in my head.
Yeah, that was a problem.
Shush. I like it.
Maybe the lack there of. There are some that claim certain substances may make one more creative, or was it hallucinatory ?
I was so focused on being able to shorten it to MO and JO that I just threw some darts, metaphorically speaking.
If you’d have gone with Molly Johnson you could have gotten those sweet, sweet Australian royalty checks.
Every now and then I get asked how I picked Anderson Gentry as a non de plume. My honest answer: “It sounded cool.”
Et tu?
UCS’s seem too real to be fake.
Et me buddy.
I wouldn’t even be able to make up plausible character names, let alone write fiction.
Do you recall any others, I swear I got a book once from some other glib, ISTR it was a coming of age story with some supernatual stuff mixed in.
Lord Humungous. I gotta check my Kindle and see if I can figure out his pen name.
It’s on the tip of my tongue because we corresponded for a while, but he hasn’t been here in AGES. I don’t know about Lord Humongus.
Found it! Nicholas Bruner, who is JATNAS.
😮 I had no idea.
Yep, that was it.
I’m pretty sure my well is dry, but I have been having little flickerings of a new story I thunk up. Paranormal now, though still romance.
I thought you were working on the missing family link around the Civil War era?
I can think about more than one idea at the same time. 😜
I honestly think you could reskin your pirate works as space opera.
That’s … intriguing.
CODS… IN… SPAAAAACE!!!!
I am serious. Classis space opera had pirate ships and navy ships with boarding axes/plasma cutters.

Many, many examples.

There are a lot of things I can do in an unregulated and technologically lacking society that I can’t do in a high-tech instant communication society. While intriguing, it feels like it’d be a lot of work for a genre I’m sort of not interested in.
I work on trying to write but I am an engineer. Most everything I’ve tried sounds like a tech order. My personal best was published by this site..
My daughter gave me a subscription to Storyworth. Each week I receive a new topic to write about and at the end of the year I will get a bound copy of my tales.

I made English class my bitch at every level of school right from the jump. 8th grade reading level in 3rd. But I can’t do creative writing at all. The only assignment I ever cheated on was when I rather extensively paraphrased an unpublished poem I copped from a BBS back in high school, before every tittle of the internet was indexed and automated anti-plagiarism software was widespread. 30 page analyses of subtext and metaphor, no problem. A 12 stanza original poem? Wasn’t happening.
My daughter may or may not have written this for her creative writing assignment, which she was sweating. She was grateful. For a couple of seconds.
I got an A in freshman composition with a note that my style was best suited for stereo manuals.
“When a proton and a neutron love 💕 each other very much…”

The night was deep…
Yeah, I have stories and characters in the ol’ noggin, but I am much more comfortable writing non-fiction: book reviews, movie reviews, screeds, that sort of thing.
Been on a big Conrad jag lately, going through a lot of the minor and later novels. God, that man was good at his craft. But, I decided to switch it up, moving over to Lovecraft pastiches.
I was thinking about a particular character that I wanted to include in the crappy novel I’ll never write and whether or not I could write a woman and do her justice. Lots of men write female characters but making her one of the leads is a huge gamble (or it would be if said “novel” would ever amount to more than trouble and strife).
By and by it reminds me of a conversation I had a few years ago. This woman expressed some apparent fondness for ‘Stand By Your Man’ as a song that really spoke from the heart about a woman staying stoic through the good and bad of a trying relationship (said person happened to be a lesbian, but I suppose it’s applicable depending on the dynamic?). When I pointed out that it was written by a man* (Billy Sherrill) she recoiled, mortified, and expressed disappointment because for her, this completely invalidated the whole thing and made the song a horrendous fraud. It occurred to me privately that if the lyrics had been penned solely by Sherrill, then perhaps he had achieved an extraordinarily poignant expression of empathy in crafting such a ballad. Isn’t that what’s really important? Apparently not. Sad. This isn’t a very interesting anecdote.
*I don’t know who wrote what, as the song is credited to both Sherrill and Tammy Wynette, although IIRC Ken Burns’ documentary gives lyrical credit to Sherrill – please confirm or deny
Irrelevant.
These guys own it.
Haha! Shame on me for not linking that straight away.
I also seem to recall that as covered by Lyle Lovett, it was used to great effect over the closing credits of The Crying Game. It got a laugh out of me, anyway.
Agreed. I tried that route and it just made my eggs taste like plastic.
I’ve been practicing making poached eggs.
Getting good at it!
We just cheat and use one of these.
That’s a pretty cool gizmo!
I know how to do it, I just can’t.
The real trick is timing the rest of the meal so that the poached eggs can be perfectly perched on the asparagus and prosciutto (or whatever) with everything at the optimum temperature.
You haven’t read my foolproof poached egg recipie in the forum, huh?
Sheldon, I have a question for you; what is a reasonable price on a P6 SIG that stovepipes all the time? A friend is looking to get rid of one, and I am tempted. Want to offer him a decent price though.
Malfunctions – Using Sig mags or Promags?
Sig, I am pretty sure.
I’m not an expert on SIG valuation, but…
I’d pass on it at any price. My time is too valuable to mess around with guns that don’t work. Especially all-metal DA/SA low-cap guns that have minimal collector value and have been out of production for twenty years.
If this was the gun that really makes your life complete, offer him $400. Keep in mind that the gun doesn’t work as offered. You might only need new springs and magazines, but you might never get it to run with JHPs,or at all.
I apologize for the bluntness, if you love P225s.
No worries. I am looking for a solid plinker, and a project is no issue for me, as time is abundant. I rather dislike most double stacks, as they feel like I am holding a 2×4. My Hi-Power is regulated to safe queen, in any case, as I do not want it to end up as evidence if needed in an emergency. I don’t carry (no desire) but I do like well made items.
New extractor & spring is under $30.

If you just wanted to start throwing parts at it…who knows, maybe it just needs a really good cleaning.
Be sure to put a lower weight mainspring in while you’re at it – 19/20 lbs.
Nice, thanks Sean.
Disregard that link. Looks like the wrong part.
When I see all the creativity amongst the Glibs I’m amazed. The projects, the art, the musical ability is so far beyond my comprehension. Then the tech knowledge, cooking skills and all the other things you people do are so impressive.
I am good at getting old though.
From what I hear, you’re pretty darn good at bee wrangling, honey, and harvest festival hosting. I’ve seen that you’re a pretty fine raconteur, as well. Don’t sell yourself short.
Hear, hear.
And you are beloved by many people. That’s the best thing.
Very few people are good at getting old.
I’m starting to take a run at it. So far . . . Mixed reviews.

Across the room, he saw his friend, Johnny Picklenose, fast asleep, a small Mexican flag wedged in his buttocks. Johnny snored loudly, and as he did, the small flag fluttered jauntily as if in a breeze.

An ice cream truck just rolled through the neighborhood.
It’s almost that time here. I am collecting $1 and $5 dollar bills for it. Banana / chocolate pops are great.

Don’t let snow stop you from enjoying ice cream.
Mister Softee?
I’ve done nanowrimo (Tundra mentioned above) a few times and I write for fun quite a bit, so I have drafts sitting around. But since I know how much work the original stuff would need to turn into something I’d want published, I just let them sit there.
Yeah, I’ve got fragments littering multiple apps on the computer and the iPad.
But I did manage to finish my pipe organ article, which turned into a 2-parter, and got it submitted to Tonio!
Fantastic. I am 1/3 through with the next article on TV in 2023. I need to finish it up. I have an excuse, my good PC died. I just now got a decent replacement. I’ve been running Thursday nights on my phone.
I’m actually working on a somewhat similar for analog synthesizers, mostly modular’s, We’ll see, this one’s going to need some fermentation time.
Ugh, I have a movie review sitting partial in my head, waiting for the right doorway into it. I will get there, but it might be a bit.

Obviously, a good candidate to run for something like Mayor of South Bend in a Democratic primary. Probably uses two condoms and wouldn’t go down on his GF for all the artisanal mayonnaise in Brooklyn Heights.
Definately not an ass eater.
I might pity him were it not for the fact that he probably cheered on the fucking up of everyone’s lives. I do pity the gf.
I’m torn. The guy was obviously subjected to the same brainwashing as the rest of us. At what point does pity turn to scorn?
2021. At the most generous.
Yeah, that’s a pretty good answer.
No doubt he is and probably always was an insufferable twat but I’m so angry at the last few years that it’s becoming hard to process some things.
“an insufferable twat”
You think you’ve hit peak insufferable twatishness and then you find you’re still in the on ramp.

If he is the jackass who goes outside just to drink water!, then I have zero sympathy for his ass. He is exactly the kind of person who thought a Klan hood would protect him from black people. Now he thinks a damn mask is going to protect him from deplorables. He doesn’t want to breath the same air as normies.
Fuck him.
The gf has also made a choice. I’ve got no use for either, barring something more.
Kill yourself.
3 our vaxxers and 4 hail Faucis
There’s no point in N95 masks for this poor bastard. He’s already dead for any practical purpose.
oh Jesus, one of the follow up comments is from someone “still sheltering in place”. Guys even the universities are finally ending the fucking mask mandates. It’s over.
I can’t even imagine being these people still. And the worst part is, if these nutjobs actually catch it, they’ll all get “long covid” because they’re so psychotic they’ll make themselves sick.
Even my tru-believer neighbor stopped masking*.
A couple years ago she gave me the “I’m immuno-compromised!” spiel in the elevator.
*She still has a BLM sign in her bedroom window, though. Some religions don’t die.
That one is going to take a vampire stake threw the heart to kill it.
These people vote. And specifically, voted for a group of cunts who are leading us along to WW3.
I claim to be ill for months from something that 99.9% of people recover from in a few days, but I’m sure that without my booster and paxlovid it would have been even worse…
Long COVID might be real, but I suspect you only get it from the vaxx.
Glibs revealed, a timeline.
The new research sez long covid is related to excessive mask usage.

Watching Purple Rain for the first time in a long while.
Minneapolis was a glorious place to grow up. I wish I hadn’t taken it for granted.
Yeah, I’m glad not to live in the Mini Apple anymore, but I am glad I was there for 19 years. Focused on the positive.
But that town has jumped the shark!!
Even 50 years earlier was fun. There were boys with slingshots, some close to home. Both the grade school and junior high I went to are closed/gone for many, many years. Cars were fewer, street cars way more plentiful. Moving to the country was a big event but I took to it like a fish in water.
I watch the 2007 Superbowl (2006 season) Prince halftime show once in a while. Probably the best half time show in my lifetime.
Dude knew how to entertain.
This is a mini-docco about it. Not an unbroken performance, but fun to hear the “behind the scenes.”

I have written two books. Both short, nonfiction, and used to market my practice. If you want information about what I do, they are very helpful. If not, then you have no reason to read them.
I actually enjoy writing technical documentation for work. I’m always learning new shit and I’m inspired by good documentation when I come across it.
I have trouble writing my firm’s equivalent which is our internal processes. I just can’t get motivated to do it notwithstanding their importance. I eventually get it done but it’s like pulling teeth. On the other hand, anything we use for marketing I’m eager.

There are things to be done and we must achieve the things to make the doing of the things happen so the things are done. In achieving what we must achieve to do the things we will make sure that the things we must achieve are achieved and thereby these achievements will allow us to do the things we need to achieve, and to achieve the things we need to do. My interns get this from chatGPT and put in on the teleprompter and on my cards to see if I will just read it, which I do, and will continue to do so when I am President, because in reading the things I am speaking the words that are written and therefore am reading the words you are hearing, and this is the job of the President nowadays. In becoming President I will have become the President of the United States and in doing so will have…
I’ll leave that there since there really are things to do and to achieve the doing of and the Harris AI-generated speech thing is a probably a stale gag by now.
Good just-barely-morning to you limey!

Mornin’ Red.
Gotta ask – what’s the mood amongst your countrymen regarding King Chuckles’s impending coronation?
(I just finished reading a survey of sorts of all the monarchs of England/Great Britain since Willie the Conqueror, so I’m curious as to the general public opinion re: the monarchy at this point in history – and the current one in particular.)
Idk. One thing I have noticed is that there are a number of people who declare themselves “republican”. By this they seem to mean that they don’t approve of the monarchy, but have not necessarily formulated any republican values or principles beyond this. Idk. I suppose it depends on the individual.
Other people really freakin’ love the whole thing.
I suppose I don’t get particularly excited about it but wish they would be completely self-sustaining. I suspect many “republicans” would be okay with that too. Again, idk.
Mornin’, reprobates.
Congrats on the new gig, Yufus!
Good morning, ‘patzie! ::raises travel mug of more-exotic-than-I-can-appreciate coffee::
Mornin’ all.
Yup, snowing outside my building. From a high of 84 on Saturday to a forecast high of 37 today, with snow showers. SMDH.
Good morning to all!
Beautiful day, 6 inches of fresh snow from yesterday. It truly is pretty but too much makeup doesn’t help at this time of the year. It’ll be slushy by noon but I have a lot to do. On a more cheerful note, I see tomatoes and cabbages popping up in my starter trays. I’ll be ready when the time is right. I’m only planting those things we like and the excess space will be filled with watermelon and squash, those can use more room and easy to give away.
I’m assuming god is on my team this year.

Yeah, Mo, that’s what bothers me. Plenty of shouting and marching and flinging heated rhetoric, but facts? Not so much…
