So, I was trying to print out the somewhat random and scattered pages of my new draft of “Birdie on a Wire.” And I now have a huge paper jam. I was only printing TEN pages. I am not kidding when I say that I will be heading for some salad tongs and performing some minor cesarean work.

I hope I don’t get electocuted.

I’m too lazy to sort out which plug is which in all those wires. That is left for far greater minds than mine. Mainly Cowboy’s. (We’re wired differently–buhdumbah.)And unless he gets home from Scout Camp soon and takes care of the problem. . . I will be forced to operate (without a license).

At least I don’t have this problem. (The site I stole this from claimed that this poor wretched creature was freed and released. No harm came to any animals during the taking of this picture.) Which is too bad, I say. Except that he is a little cute and has muppetesque qualities that are appealing.

Also, I hate mice. They are good for one thing: cat food. Also, they are great in Prince Caspian movies.

Okay, so my brain is experiencing a “printer jam” of sorts. My middle pages are muddling together in a modge-podge array of chaos and mediocrity. Middle chapters really are the worst. Do you think those salad tongs would help?

PS: I’m cheating a little in writing this because I have only written about 500 words today. But I wrote 1650 yesterday and didn’t blog, so this is for yesterday. Got it?!
