So I need to write something here in order to slide the rejection post off the screen. Because that thing is starting to depress me and depression really gets me down. I should probably post something that'll make me feel better.Plus, I've been reading on the Webosphere that we writers aren't supposed to share any negative opinions we have about other people's novels, or our own writing, or crazy librarians who lovingly fondle books written by total strangers. So instead of telling you what I really think and how I really feel, I'm going to blog about something that is great. It's totally super! I love it a lot! I mean, it is truly, utterly fabulous!!!!!!!!!
I'm talking of course about balloon animals.
What's not to love about balloon animals? They're safer than real animals, especially scary ones like giraffes. You never have to feed a balloon animal. They come in all colors of the rainbow; you're never going to see an orange swan in nature! Sure, that balloon dog might not be as soft and cuddly as the real thing, and it might pop if you hug it too hard, but if you rub your finger along its side, it'll make a funny noise! Plus, the people who make balloon animals are some of the finest in the world. They bring joy to children, just like Bozo the Clown, Bob Saget, Weird Al Yankovic, and Michael Jackson used to.
How could you not respect the balloon animal creator? A lot of times they're clowns, too, so you get twice the entertainment for a
Too bad. I coulda been somebody.

i like you and all your negative opinions, dude.
Who else has the slightest urge to go pop that balloon animal?
I like the idea of the denim jacket. I think that he uses it to draw attention to himself (why is that guy wearing a denim jacket? Oh...he's a clown) in case the giraffe with the sword through his neck doesn't do the trick.
Ha ha! As Junie B Jones would say, "That's the thing about bad news. it's usually not good."
Come read my latest post. It might undepress you a bit :)
Yep, I've been wondering what my next post should be after the enlightening but depressing post I've got up now. Since you've already done balloon animals, I'm thinking flamingo lawn ornaments. Or lint sculpture.
Are you implying that the Hoff was a clown (an allegation proved true in his later years) and Gary Coleman was actually a balloon animal? That would explain a lot about Gary.
ok.. is it just me, or is that balloon 'animal' you linked to rather dirty?
It's just you, Monica. It's pretty obvious what animal it is.
And Jason, you realize that the Internet is forever, right? "I like the idea of a denim jacket." Oy.
I was totally sending your book to my cousins, Janet Reid and Kristin Nelson, but my husband is a balloon animal maker, so you can just forget it.
ok, PMM, i'm going to confession....
Oh, My Goodness! Where's Murph? Forget the little children and get back to your blog!!!
