That was hilarious.

Uh. I have a confession. I don’t actually kill chickens. I wave the drumsticks from a KFC meal.

That probably explains a lot. Heh.

Having just tried to kill my first chicken, I know how hard it is. I couldn’t do it. But I didn’t know it could help my writing! Darn! I should have taken that axe in hand and gone merrily chop-chop-chopping!

Actually, it was horrible enough just to hold the rooster’s feet as the axe came down. Eeesh. Let me just said that the headless bird did back flips. Four feet into the air. ‘Nuff said.

Hmm… what were those writing exercises again?

Good, Alex!

Heh, Les. I’m glad you’ve visited, and you know, they say great minds think alike.

I don’t know what it is with chickens lately. I think it’s best if none of us know. Heh.

Good to see you!

I haven’t visited in a while – wrote my own post today, and, oddly, it’s about chickens, too… Now,how freaking weird is that?!

Apparently, I DO read minds… just… um… about 10 days later.

Got it! It was the link part that was giving me trouble, but figured it out eventually. Only a few days late

Thanks lala, and that’s a great book.

Heh, Melinda. In your honor, since you gave me the idea.

I’ll definitely check out the plug-in, thanks!

That’s too funny Netta! I love it!

And there’s a plugin called ‘Tweet Suite’ that puts a link on each post that commenters can use to tweet it. I’ve got it on my site if you want to check it out.

Well, as someone who started out in (creative) non-fiction, writing fiction does indeed help. I also recommend On Writing Well by William Zinnser (hope I spelled that right)

As always, sage advice, Miss Netta.

Awww, D. Thank YOU. If anything here has helped you, that makes me very happy. Especially if it’s saved the life of a chicken. Heh.
