Dear Writing About Writing Readers,
Our esteemed guest blogger Leela Bruce has gone on a Kung Fu style walk about. Leela was pretty close with Lt. Lambaste as they both did a lot of ass kicking and liked to compare notes, so her death hit Leela pretty hard. In fact, Leela's eulogy at the Lieutenant's wake was moving. ("Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels....her's was the most.......human.") Leela really hoped that she and Lt. Lambaste were going to help Writing About Writing pass the Bechdel test.
Her last words to me before leaving were particularly poignant: "I'll find your next guest blogger, Brecheen," she said. "I'm not going to be the only woman in your fucking sausagefest."
I nearly wept.
Anyway, I'm taking the time to set up Twizzlefizzlepop who will make semi-regular appearances, but is not a full fledged guest blogger. And there may need to be some cosmetic changes to incorporate W.A.W.'s growing content. So if you see some things changing throughout the day, it's just me fiddling with the knobs.
