Hey, Ho, Readers,
Molly
here, canine author of The Molly Chronicles. Today I’m honing
my writing skills at the Pinole Library Writers’ Group. Eddie, (human) has given
us a prompt to write about: If you were reincarnated into a non-human form, what
would you be?
I remember that Buster, my Chihuahua publicist,
has been on my case to get out there and hustle my book. I incorporate that into my writing.
I close
my collie eyes and imagine myself as something really splashy and showy.
A
Chinese New Year’s dragon! I download
some clip art for inspiration.
I
decide. I am a dragon thirty feet long, with a forty foot wing span, and
yellow, orange, red and gold scales. And
streaming behind me, a sky-blue banner tells the world, “buy The
Molly Chronicles on sale on Amazon for only $12.45.”
And
I can see myself parading in front of Barnes and Nobles bookstores throughout
the country, my scales flashing gold in the sunshine, and the scent of
cloves wafting out of my smoking nostrils.
Meanwhile,
Buster is attracting attention yapping and dancing around me on his hind legs. With
each bark, his stubby tail jerks downward in enthusiasm. And, my human walks
under my wing passing out the books and
collecting money.
And
people throw liver snacks to me as I pass by.
Sigh!
Your
Friend,
Molly
