Story-Time Tuesday - Living Fiction

Hi.

Hello?

Is anybody here?

This is Pearl. I think I might have a little bit of stage fright.

Here I am, actually writing on a blog and not having to tell ummm... tall tales about it. It's not really that hard. I may be inspired and ACTUALLY start writing on "My Life Inside an Oyster" one of these days.

I'm just hopping on today, though, to pass along a message from Miss Jenny.

She's says she's reached a crossroads in writing about me and has two versions of Chapter 43 written. She is really undecided about which direction to go.

For crying out loud. My mother, God rest her soul, always told me just to pick a direction and get going, but Miss Jenny is not willing to heed that advice.

I'd like to give you a hint about what she's thinking, but I think that might make her mad. Trust me, as a fictional character you never, ever want to make your creator angry. Who know's what awful thing could befall a poor, sweet, helpless character like me?

I hope you're enjoying reading about me. Sometimes I'm a bit ashamed of myself for not finding an easier pathway through my life right now, but really, I'm doing my very best. Somedays I think I'm just doing great if I can get out of bed and comb my hair, you know?

Oops.

Miss Jenny is giving me a dirty look. I think she wants me to wrap this up now...so...

See you next week.

Please don't forget to come back. Seriously, I think you guys are my only friends. I can't really count Millie, because heaven knows she's so darned irritating and I can't really count Jessie, because she's my daughter...

And I wonder if I can count Edgar as a friend because...

Uh oh.

I have to go.

Right now.

Miss Jenny says to keep me from blabbing so much, she is going to make me into a mute/paraplegic in the next chapter if I don't say goodbye right now.

I was really enjoying talking to you but darn! Darn, darn, darn! I'm gonna go because Jenny's the boss of me, for sure.

So...bye...see you soon!

Love,
Pearl
