Go Away, Dude, I’m Blogging - Eye Candy Blogfest Entry

I have to confess: I use a ghostwriter for this blog.  And here he is:

SONY DSC

Or not.  This is my entry in the Eye Candy Blogfest, hosted by Rambles and Randomness, which I just found out about two days ago and unfortunately have not had time to properly promote.  That little guy’s name is Navaan.  He and his brother were named after characters in my novel.  It was my wife’s idea to do that (though I may have slipped the kernel into her brain – I admit nothing), so it’s only slightly self-indulgent.  Besides, after nine months, I associate the names far more with the dogs than with my characters. 

The weird thing is, the dogs actually fit the characters’ personalities perfectly.

  3. Navaan thanks both of you, although he's a;ready got a big head: he knows he's the pretty boy of the pets.

    Love your comment back at my blog. I bet you looked really cool with your guitar on the roof. I am going to strive to be as cool. I hope I do a decent job.

  18. @ Susan - Actually, I think he's writing a tell-all book.

    @ Mary - Trust me, he's always thinking.

    @ Mara - I've got four cats to go with my three dogs and two lizards. It was very hard to decide on a pic.

    @ Elaine - Thanks!

    @ Michelle - Sadly, he's a better speller than I am.

    @ Jamie - I'm surprised more people don't do that. Or maybe they do.

    @ Tricia - Thanks!

    @ Michael - Thanks! And to yours.

    @ mshatch - Thanks!

    @ Bru - Pets are cute even when they're not trying to be, aren't they? I've got one of my fat cat sprawled out across the keyboard fast asleep.

    @ Summer, Francine, and Julie - Thanks!

    @ Patricia - Remember, style over substance, except when it comes to playing guitar. Then it's all about looking awesome. :)

    @ Danette - Kibble is hourly, Bits are on commission.

    And Happy New Year to everyone!
