I love to play with short "just because I want to write" pieces while I'm working on longer, "required" ones. Not only does it keep me refreshed and juiced, but it gives me a glimpse of what might be next.

I predict we'll be seeing more of Ethiag...at least I really, really hope so. This was fabulous! Truly fabulous. You had me, right from those thieving chopsticks!

How fun was that? I would say a lot of fun. Just imagine.

What a fabulous imagination you do have, it was beautiful. Thank you and I really love the Mr Linky :)

Ethiag is going to get a knuckle sandwich if she ever dares to show up at my residence. You know how I abhor practical jokers. Actually, could a ghost even feel a knuckle sandwich? I don't think so. I know theres that weird loophole that allows new ghosts to still taste BLT's and doublestuff oreos but I'm pretty sure thats all they can taste or feel on a physical level. Hmph. I no longer want to come back in my next life as a piece of chocolate that can eat itself all day long. I now want to come back as a ghost just like Ethiag and prank all through the day and night hours.

This was pure pleasure to read...I could picture this as a beautifully illustrated book -- it was so visual!

I am now afraid to sleep because I have a mustache. But I think I am safe because I am not a gentleman. Is it possible to just get a trim?

Amber said...

Hmmm...Did you base this ghost on anybody you know? Like you BFF if she were a ghost?
Very cute!

:)

Now the word-verification on our blog is Yutsoh. Whatcha think? Wanna crank out another short story? Yutsoh the zombie hunter, perhaps?

You are hilarious, girl!

Oh, I bet you had fun writing this - I know I had fun reading it!
All except for the part about the 'beetle in the mouth when kissing' business - I was eating pepitas whilst reading this, and almost spit them out, lol.

Thanks for sharing this - it was fun to read, but it does need a 'do not eat pepitas while reading this' sticker on it. :-)

Delightful! I thought it was an excerpt from a storybook. What an imp she is! We all have a little of her in us. At least I do.

I was in town just now (little rural mountain town) and saw your ladies display! I wanted to pull someone over and say, "I know her. She blogs, you know!"

Never a dull moment. Ethiag's a thousand laughs and spells encouragement for the more staid and waitful. Love her!

I completely enjoyed reading that!

This was a treat.

Wonderfully whimsical -- but I don't like Ethiag... a lot!

DJPare said...

Great way to come up with a name!

Loved this! Very fun.

Forgetfulone said...

That was a riot! How do you come up with those things? I love it! And it's a treat to read the writing of one of the SS princesses.

Deirdre said...

I knew those word-verifications were good for something.

Good story - more maybe?

Dalissa McEwen Reeder said...

Very playful. Thanks for the read!

I really enjoyed your story, Laini. The ghost girl kinda reminds me of my grandmother, who's a ghost herself now, but after reading this I'm sure she's having alot of fun. Might explain why I ate a fly yesterday when I stuck my head out a bus window. She was always a joker!

Just begging to be illustrated!!

Ah yes, the theraputic hum of scribblings. I miss them. I need to make more time for them. Don't you hate it when they suck though too?

Working on it...
