Inspiration Monday: Errant Star

I spent most of Saturday struggling to figure out a certain character, before finally realizing this character has a major thing in common with the protagonist and that I should totally use it.

Why don’t we see these things right away???

Hope all the fathers out there had a happy Father’s Day!

You might laugh or cry from the stories this week. Maybe both!

  2. Sounds so familiar.
    For some reason, we often have to wrestle fruitlessly with things before the answer materializes, not so much because of our effort, but because we were so consumed with wrestling our conscious that we let our unconscious do all the work 😉

    I has some inspiration! I will get the post up before next monday: http://jubilare.wordpress.com/2014/06/17/errant-star/

      1. Oh, then I am so sorry for thinking it was a mistake! I guess I only just discovered you and did not know about your tendency to use such wordplay. It makes sense now; I’d been a little surprised because you do not seem like the type to make an error like that! 😉

        1. I’m not USUALLY the type, but we’re all human. I will occasionally (to my own horror), write “here” when I mean “hear” or “there” when I mean “their.”

      1. Aye. I thought that the date was supposed to be the creation date, but WordPress changed it to the publication date and thus voided my “permenant url.” Foo on you, WordPress. Foo, I say!

        1. I think things would get confusing if the URL date was not the publication date, especially for those bloggers who have posts for specific dates ready far in advance.

          1. What I find confusing is that I can copy and paste what is listed above the post as the “Permalink” and have it change after I publish the post. :/

            If it ain’t a “permalink” it shouldn’t be called a “permalink” 😉

          2. I think it’s called that because once you publish it, that becomes the permanent link even if you change the title. So you might publish something as Fun Post and it’ll have the permalink myblog.com/2014/06/23/fun-post/, and when you change it to Really Fun Post the URL will still just say “fun-post.”
