Norton Critical Editions are the best too - the commentary/essays really add a layer to the classics 👌

This dog measures his world in baked goods.

- #DonutMode™️ (it's cold, I must tuck my nose into my nethers post-haste)

- #PancakeMode™️ (it's must spread flat like batter, then flip over)

- #BaguetteMode™️ (similar to a cat's loaf mode, legs tucked in, pointy snout extended - for watching TV)

There is no greater measurement of the start of the Australian warm season than a perpetually-freezing #ItalianGreyhound deploying #PancakeMode™️ on toasty patio pavers.

But WW3 in present day? Or like, WW1 in 1805? Important distinction, I think.

Yes Yes Yes. And Dickon (The Secret Garden) is literally Pan-in-flesh.

I mean, the scene when he meets Mary has him playing the panflute surrounded by animals...

#TheTenantOfWildfellHall - #AnneBronte - is an *objectively better* novel than Jane Eyre (Charlotte) and Wuthering Heights (Emily)...

...and the only reason it doesn’t get the love it deserves today is in large part because Charlotte meddled horrendously with Anne's legacy #UnhingedOpinion

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Pretzel/noodle dog (Aldo) loves to chase sunbeams (he's an Italian Greyhound but that's just a mini-whip anyway so same-same)

Absolutely tickled by these. Ever thought about releasing some of your stuff as prints, or even PDFs for folks to print themselves? Even on Redbubble or somesuch.

I have many blank walls in my little Room of One's Own (girl cave/home office) and would dig a gorg literary-themed pic exceedingly.

Someone told me recently that part of the writing process is THINKING about writing. Nobody sits and writes immediately at the computer. And I wish they had told me that 3 years ago when this all started and I was feeling anxious, lazy, and ashamed of NOT doing so

But its true. Let your mind THINK.

"Seriously, thanks. I'll peck your eyes out last in the coming apocalyptic melee. Or first? Oh man. Okay, I guess what I'm saying is, the boss is kind of strict about the no-special-treatment thing, so the eyes have got to go either way, but you can pick the method - beak or claw."
