Prehistoric prattle designed to educate the mind and tickle the funny bone
About a year ago, I was plain frustrated with my author/illustrator career, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere. Aberdeen, though trying to be helpful by going after people and telling them to hire me, only succeeded in chasing off potential customers and making me go into debt (from all the people suing … Continue reading Release Day for A Visit to Oaklenbrooke Farm + Giveaway!
The past 360 days have been amazing—I can hardly believe I’ve been writing on this digsite and annoying you all for almost a whole year now! Seems like just yesterday I started reporting Mariposa’s unethical writing habits and giving you bad advice. Through it all, Mariposa and I have: 1. Written over fifty thousand useful … Continue reading Celebrating One Year at Dino’s Digest!
Contrary to the headline, this month is not the best month of the year. Organized Authorosaurus that I am, I write my posts a month in advance, which means whatever you’re reading now I wrote so long ago that I probably don’t even remember what I wrote. That means the headline is referring to April—which … Continue reading A Day in Mariposa’s Office: Celebrating the Best Month of the Year
Spring is a time for life. Baby dinos hatch. Maiasauras build their nests. And meteor showers hit your house. Yep, smack-dab in the middle of my roof. I called the meteorfighters (like firefighters, except they ride comet trucks and carry a blaster instead of a hose), but they didn’t get here in time, and now … Continue reading A Day in Mariposa’s Office: The Start of a New Project (& a New Roof)
After all that thinking last month, my boss and I are ready to stop thinking. Believe me, it’s as bad as it sounds, because now it’s time to work and start implementing our goals for the new year. And, of course, like the logical beings that we are, we had to set high goals (not … Continue reading A Day in Mariposa’s Office: Surveying & Strategizing
Tags are fun. Tags are entertaining. Tags are something I’ve been posting a lot lately. Well, if you don’t like it, blame the people who tagged me. If you do like it, then thank the people who tagged me. Speaking of which, I humbly thank Jenna for this tag! The rules: 1. Thank the blogger … Continue reading The Voted Most Likely Tag
Do you enjoy my weekly dose of randomity (I am aware that is not a word)? Do you enjoy my weekly dose of hilarity? Do you enjoy my weekly dose of stupidity? If so, now is the time to tell me before I make a bunch of changes you may not like (like becoming intelligent). … Continue reading Do You Want to Help Me Make My Blog Better?
As cold-blooded as I am, you'd think I’d love winter, but I don’t. My scales get so dry from washing off the human cold germs. (One thing I’ll never understand is how hands get dry from washing them. You use water to wash them. You put on lotion to make them not dry. The first … Continue reading A Day in Mariposa’s Office: Freezing, Thinking & Reflecting
I don’t like Christmastime. I realize I just posted a short story where I played the part of Scrooge, but that has no bearing whatsoever on the previous statement. Really, I don’t dislike Christmas, just Christmastime (big difference). And the reason I dislike it has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas at all. The reason … Continue reading Days NOT in Mariposa’s Office: A Dinosaur’s Complaint About Christmas
Mariposa has been doing quite a lot lately...including quite a lot of not writing. Or at least, a lot of not story writing. She’s been doing scads of email writing, list writing (and unwriting), text writing, and inconsequential writing that’s better left at the bottom of some dumpster in Hong Kong. It seems every time … Continue reading A Day in Mariposa’s Office: Communications, Illustrations, & Frustrations
