Post-Turkey, Black Friday, Gobble-Gobble-to-Write-Better Blog

I intended to blog on Thanksgiving—any excuse in the eye of the blog storm, where there are NO POSTS—but when my Dallas Cowboys finally pulled their collective heads out of the Devil’s…I mean, primo narcissist, Jerry Jones’ arsehole, and started putting away the lowly Raiders, I became too involved with watching that and stuffing my […]

America’s Team: The Dallas Cowboys

I wrote a blog a few days ago about (in large part) God. I wrote about the cage match between us. I worried and fretted because I don’t blog about religion and because (particularly on the Internet) there are a LOT of people who just itch to find anyone who dares utter the word, much […]

 

Word Usage. What a Hoot!

On July 9, 2013, in Drug Humor, Family, GEORGE CARLIN, Humor, Just for Fun, Marijuana Humor, Parody, Words, by rsguthrie

I was lying in my bed a few minutes ago (it’s three A.M. here in the U.S. Mountain Daylight time zone)—that reminds me of an old George Carlin sketch from his first album The 11 O’clock News, of the same title (as in when you call a song the “title song” when it’s the same […]

 

Golf Game Gone To Dog Poop

On April 12, 2013, in (or...), and Such, Humor, Just for Fun, Miscellaneous, Parody, by rsguthrie

When I lived in the Los Angeles suburbs, for a whole year we golfed every weekend (and some evenings under the lights at the local Long Beach 9-hole par 3 course near my home). When I moved to Colorado, everyone boasted about 350 golf days a year.  I was ecstatic. Wow—turns out I had not given […]

 

What Thumbhead Returns A 99 Cent Book?

On March 13, 2013, in (or...), Honey Boo Boo, Humor, Jesus, Miscellaneous, Opinion, Parody, The Second Coming, by rsguthrie

I used to blog about the horrific devaluing job on books accomplished by (among others) John Locke and Amanda Hocking. 99 cents for a novel is a crying shame. As a promo price? For a short story? For a crappy book? Perhaps. But that’s not what this post is about. I recently ran a 99 […]

 

Twitter, 6, Near Death

On August 23, 2012, in Parody, by rsguthrie

Twitter was born in 2006 to a skeptical online community, most of whom did not want to know what Demi Moore was eating for dinner, what particular strain of ganja rapper Snoop Dogg was smoking at any given moment, nor when, where, and which Kardashian sister had just noticed an itchy, smelly, reddening condition. Were the […]

 

Show Me A Totally Clean Manuscript (Sans Deals With The Devil)

On August 1, 2012, in Editing, Humor, Indie Authors, Parody, by rsguthrie

I don’t get it. I really don’t. How does anyone produce a spotless manuscript? I can’t tell you how many times my latest manuscript was proofread. By myself, at least a hundred times, but I understand why I can’t see the typos. I know what it’s supposed to say, so I am the worst one […]

 

How To Handle A Rare Reviewer (Or: How Many Stars DOES Your Book Deserve?)

Today, Dear Readers, is Saturday the 14th. You know what that means, right? Yesterday was Friday the 13th! I never said anything about it in my blog yesterday (or in my bog which is what I typed first, having only finished a sip of my first morning coffee—I suppose to say something like that in […]

 

How About A Little Zombie Love?

On June 20, 2012, in Humor, Just for Fun, Parody, by rsguthrie

You know who you are. Stop pretending that it’s okay that we glamorize the vampires and werewolves and other unseemly beings. Zombies have hearts, too (even if they are hanging off the side of their pants pocket). Those poor, smelly, mutated, unpopular bastards. When do they get their love? Vampires, werewolves—heck, even King Kong, that […]

 

Now My BLOG has a Rejection Slip — Is NOTHING Sacred?

On May 21, 2012, in Humor, Just for Fun, Parody, by rsguthrie

I was perusing a site the other day where you can list your KDPS promotion (i.e what days your book is free) and they actually had several different “free” promos. One was to submit up to three of your blog entries and if they liked one, they would showcase you in their, uh, blog collective, […]
