Because books.

Jesus, I wrote real life schmoop.

"By the book"

It’s his favorite game, snuggled deep into the couch before bed, pajamas twisted on recklessly with his own chubby hands.

He points. “Nana!”

I nod, skim one finger down the glossy plastic page. “How about this?”

He rolls his eyes; that’s too easy. “Jakey.”

“Yup.” I wink at him, kiss the top of his head. “You’re a smart guy. How about this one?”

“Me! And Mommy.” He stares at the picture, studying his own face, turned up to me in the photo, the curls we trimmed away yesterday damp on the back of his neck.

I like this game, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Schmooooop! Babyschmooop! Awwwww.

Our wings are not tired.

Schmoopyhead! Awwww

Because books.

The "by the book" challenge is now closed.

This week's challenge is "torn."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

My roommate reads Wizards of the Coast novels. The ones of which I've bothered to look at the covers seem to be based in the world of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5. I'm not sure, but I think they actually feature characters referenced in the rule books.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was just looking at Knut's book on Amazon. I keep thinking we should have a Buffistas Write! link on the left side that links to all of our books...she says...selflessly...I swear...

Jilli's book will be coming out soon enough, and we're a pretty writey bunch. I'm proud of us.

Are you looking for someone to propose it? I'll do it if you want.

I think it is an excellent idea.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think it's a great idea. I'm about to buy Buffista books with the $102(!) Amazon certificate I got for my saved change. I've already bought and given away a 5 or 6 of Allyson's book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There is a Buffista Bookshelf at Powell's linked on the links page, although we don't actually get money from them (someday I promise to look into the affiliate issue for real). I put some Amazon affiliate links to Buffista books in the literary thread a little while back. The problem with Amazon is, you can have a single link to, say, search results, but you can't make a single link to a bunch of stuff you've selected. As far as I know.
