| Interesting, hard-boiled crime story written in the late 50s. While Oscar Wilde said, "Don't shoot the piano player, he's doing his best" and Elton John's 1970s album title begged "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player", the ex-concert pianist le ...more | |

Actually I am reading four and writing one. I am on chapter seventeen (first draft) of a new novel. And thank you for the writer's luck. I need all I can get!
Lance,Thanks for the friend invite. Congratulations on your books and writer's luck on your next short story or novel. I take it when you said you were juggling four books you meant reading three and writing one.
Happy reading and writing,
Candace

I woke up thinking about polliwog (thank you Raneem!) so I am going to use it as part of the heading of chapter 14 I will be writing today. I will work it into the story somehow. I am off work for four days so I plan on writing furiously.

Thank you Raneem (and you definitely used the word correctly). I have no idea why cowabunga slipped into my mind when you asked for my favorite word. I could just have well have written aardvark, doohickey or pollywog. I hope you have a great day as well!
Cowabunga! Thank you for the friend request! (did i use the word correctly?) Congratulations on your books and have a stupendous day! -Raneem

I am glad you found this comment because I am actually using the mantis shrimp in the book I am writing now and I couldn't remember who had messaged me about it. Isn't Goodreads wonderful to help us connect with like-minded souls! My love of reading led to my love of writing; I don't know when I get more excited, when I read a good book or have a good day of writing! Hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend.
Hello, Lance! Thank you for contacting me! Congratulations on your books, and I like the way you answered the questions! Happy reading, writing, and everything else! Have a great weekend and week ahead. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
I have never heard of the Mantis Shrimp so I had to look it up. Capable of breaking through aquarium glass with a single strike! Awesome. Thanks for "learning" me. I am actually sitting down to start the first chapter of my third Oak Island book. Can I include the Mantis Shrimp in the story? It would be my way of apologizing for my faux pas (plus I am always looking for new animals and sea creatures to make it more interesting).Stomatopods rule!
With all due respect to Jimmy Buffet, silly pink crustaceans suck. My crustaceans are of the multicoloured, deadly kind, so please do not insult me.All Hail the Mantis Shrimp!
