ida-b-wells-b-whippin-yo-ass: I’ve been watching the original X-Men cartoon for days now, and this shit is killing me. Storm for real yelled, “I AM THE MISTRESS OF THE ELEMENTS!” in a shopping mall and created a muhfuckin electrical storm in front of what would, today, be an Old Navy. I died.

flatbarnacle: funkysafari: You can’t get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told. But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty. While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt. Owners Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature wellies used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet’s feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed. [x] PIGS WITH RAIN BOOTS MAKE ME HAPPIER THAN ANYTHING

amandaonwriting: Roddy Doyle - On Writing  1. Do not place a photograph of your ­favourite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide. 2. Do be kind to yourself. Fill pages as quickly as possible; double space, or write on every second line. Regard every new page as a small triumph – 3. Until you get to Page 50. Then calm down, and start worrying about the quality. Do feel anxiety – it’s the job. 4. Do give the work a name as quickly as possible. Own it, and see it. Dickens knew Bleak House was going to be called Bleak House before he started writing it. The rest must have been easy. 5. Do restrict your browsing to a few websites a day. Don’t go near the online bookies – unless it’s research. 6. Do keep a thesaurus, but in the shed at the back of the garden or behind the fridge, somewhere that demands travel or effort. Chances are the words that come into your head will do fine, eg “horse”, “ran”, “said”. 7. Do, occasionally, give in to temptation. Wash the kitchen floor, hang out the washing. It’s research. 8. Do change your mind. Good ideas are often murdered by better ones. I was working on a novel about a band called the Partitions. Then I decided to call them the Commitments. 9. Do not search amazon.co.uk for the book you haven’t written yet. 10. Do spend a few minutes a day working on the cover biog – “He divides his time between Kabul and Tierra del Fuego.” But then get back to work. This advice first appeared in The Guardian Roddy Doyle is an Irish novelist, dramatist and screenwriter. Several of his books have been made into , beginning with The Commitments in 1991. He was awarded the Booker Prize in 1993.
