The Goblin Tales For Adults
Just a few words to keep you all in the loop. This morning I finished polishing the eighteenth tale in my anthology. I’m about to start number nineteen – probably tomorrow.
As the tales unfold before me, even though I’m the one writing them, I learn a little more about the five wood goblins who feature in all of the stories. Each one of them reveals a new facet of their very being to me.
There is one very special character who has grown in importance throughout the tales – the one eyed lisping raven with the twisted beak – Bejuss. Somehow that old bird adds more colour to each tale as he gets involved with the goblin brothers. Now that he has become close friends with Glob, the leader of the band of goblins, the brothers depend on him more and more. He brings humour to tricky situations, together with bravery above and beyond the call of duty.
Twelve more tales to go, and then…
Who really knows.
Tagging – love it or loath it?
While the act of tagging someone’s latest book on a publishing site to promote its sales by making people aware of its presence is a good thing, tagging someone on a photograph on any of the social media sites totally eludes me. Why do it? What does it achieve, other than to annoy the person tagged?
It seems to me that tagging someone on a computer, in the belief that it is ‘fun’ is nothing more than an act of vandalism as are the tags we see on the streets of our cities.
The time for the social media sites to limit, or completely ban the use of this annoying pastime is long overdue. An online friend of mine had her name ‘tagged’ on a pole dancing photograph. She is quite understandably angry, and I don’t blame her one little bit!
To all of you childish idiots who believe it is somehow funny to do this, I say cease and desist.
