Nice job. Glad you wrote it!!!
Cool - did you trade books with Newt? Great pics
Red Dwarf ping!
RIMMER: Lister! Allow me to be the first to offer my commiserations.
LISTER: You’re really, really loving this, aren’t you?
RIMMER: Come on! (Imitating lister) “Death isn’t the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn’t screw your career up the way it used to.”
LISTER: You’re right. There’s always some good in every situation.
He grabs a bottle of whisky and takes a swig.
RIMMER: Absolutely, Lister! And in this case, you’re about to do the largest splits you’ll ever do in your life.
LISTER: I get blown up then?
RIMMER: *Bits* of you do.
LISTER: It’s not fair. There’s loads of things I’ve never done. Like ... I’ve never had a prawn vindaloo. And I’ve never read ... (pauses to think) a book.
Thanks everyone...I have to work for the rest of the afternoon, but feel free to message me if you have any questions about the book!
Mouth? Shoulda been nose...
LISTER is lying on his bunk, eating crisps and making a mess. He’s
sniffing noisily at a book marked CAT DICTIONARY.
RIMMER enters.
RIMMER: What are you doing?!
LISTER: I’m reading.
RIMMER: What? With your nose?
LISTER: Yeah. It’s a Cat book. They don’t use marks, they use smells. You run your nose along the line and all the different smells are released. It’s really good.
RIMMER: What a pathetic idea.
LISTER: Well, unlike you, Rimmer, my mind is open to new cultures, and new ways of looking at and doing things.
RIMMER: And what does it say?
LISTER: It says, (reads as he smells along the pages) “See [sniff] Dick [sniff] run. [sniff] Run, [sniff] Dick, [sniff] run. [sniff] Run [sniff sniff sniff] home [sniff] Dick.”
RIMMER: That’s the Cat equivalent of Shakespeare, is it?
LISTER: Shakespeare? Who’s Shakespeare?
RIMMER: You moron. A playwright in the olden days. Wilfred Shakespeare.
LISTER: I’m only just starting out. This is for three year olds, so you should try it.
RIMMER: I’m not the slightest bit interested in smelling anything cats have to say, thank you, Lister.
LISTER: You don’t know what you’re missing. Rimmer, there’s this brilliant one where Dick buys this ball, this big ball, this big red ball. It’s amazing stuff.
Good luck.
Sweet!
It’s a great adventure! My first book came out in April. Welcome to the club!
Congrats to you.
Maybe!
Oh, and the Amazon.com link is already up. Don’t know how I missed it.
I believe you are not guilty.
Congratulations, luv. As an aspiring writer Myself I well know how difficult it can be to keep the creative juices flowing enough to complete such a project, let alone get one published. Any discount for FReepers? *grin*
I hope you sell a million copies!!
