In a true act of writing splendor, I just tried to eat the first page of my edited book. I mean, my tongue actually touched the paper as I held it. While I have no defense for this sudden act of insanity, I have an explanation. I have pineapple slices on my right where the edited manuscript used to sit. I thought I put them on my left. The defense simply dies when I can’t explain why I didn’t notice I was holding a piece of paper and not a slice of pineapple before I tried to eat it.
I’m wondering if I should call it a day before I realize that I’ve devoured my prologue.




Eat first and edit second 🙂

That’s probably best.

I think this is just your way of proving that your writing is a full body experience. If anyone ever asks you can now say you eat sleep and breathe your writing, all you have to do is sniff the manuscript and have a nap on it:)

I kind of fell asleep on it three weeks ago. By kind of, I mean I passed out on it when I tried to edit and act as a human mattress for a sleepy toddler. 🙂

Nothing like the taste of paper and ink in the morning. I have made that mistake as well. Laser focus upon what you are doing eliminates vision for everything else. This is how you mistake paper for a pb n j sandwich. Or in your case, pineapple.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one. I’d say I learned my lesson, but I doubt it.

They needed peanut butter. Everything is edible with peanut butter. 😉

Good enough to eat, maybe?

I prefer a thicker card stock, but basic printer paper works in a pinch. 🙂
