Steve Martin on writing

"Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol."

- Steve Martin, comedian, author, banjo player, and all around funny guy

Read the entire essay by Steve Martin, "Writing Is Easy!".

When writers don't write

For a while, I said "this blog had moved," and directed people to the Notes from the Funny Farm blog.


But then I realized - sometimes I just want to write about writing, and whine about being lazy or not having ideas. And that doesn't really mesh well with stories about dogs, cats, and chickens.

So guess what. I'll keep this blog up and running. If for no other reason than everyone needs a place to whine.

Product recalls and processed foods

For a few years  now I've been really watching what I eat, trying to avoid processed foods and things with artificial colors, flavors and preservatives like Sodium Benzoate. There are a lot of reasons: a problem with skin rashes, reading books like The Omnivore's Dilemma and Holy Cow.

But honestly, once I read a few labels I was convinced.

Measuring progress on a Monday

I feel like I've been busy all day today, but I've accomplished nothing.

Well, I took a shower. And I collected today's egg (thank you, Mrs. Wiggins).

And I updated the chicken and dog blogs.

But as far as legitimate work? I posted one thing at Beliefnet about Danny Gokey's new eyeglasses endorsement deal for Wisconsin Vision.

Then I ate four cookies.

I guess for a Monday, that's enough. I need a nap.
