Stuck In The Doldrums

Last night, conditions were not favorable for continuing on our quest. With a little reassurance I decided this is a good time for a brief intermission. I was trying to get things going last night and went back to Twitter where the writing that became Saturday Night Silliness started and wrote this. May it hold you over and keep angry villagers from my doorstep. Okay...there are only three villagers but I have a tiny doorstep. Dobby: Mom? Yes, kitty. Dobby: Why aren't you writing? I'm having trouble getting started. Something is wrong. Dobby: I'll go get you some coffee. I have coffee. Dobby: I'll go get you some chocolate. The coffee is chocolate. Dobby: Maybe if you turned off the music... I like this song. *Deanna Carter, “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” Dobby *sniffs at Mom's leg* You don't need a shower. Dobby: You don't look worse than usual. Actually this is dressed up for me, kitty. T

The Quest For Dobby's Destiny--Part VI

“ You know something, kiddo? That almost makes sense and I am really nervous.” Writer Lady says. “ You know something Auntie? I have combat training. There is distinct protocol I have to follow to avoid seriously hurting someone in an altercation.” Warrior with Intense Blue Eyes says. “ You're not threatening your Auntie are you?” “ No. Never. It's just something you might want to remember before you call me 'Kiddo' again,” he says with a mischeivous grin. “ Point taken.” Writer Lady answers. “ I'll be with Mom” Warrior with Intense Blue Eyes says. “ I'll be over there” Writer Lady gestures toward the Lord and the Lady's booth with a nod of her head, “proving to strangers I'm completely mental.” “ If they try to detain you, I'll swear I'm your psychiatrist and you are not a danger to yourself or others. I'll spring you Auntie.” “ Thanks ki...nephew. Later.”

The Quest For Dobby's Destiny Part V

Letting out a deep sigh Writer Lady says, “Okay I'm better now. Let's go.” Scanning the room the Warrior with Intense Blue Eyes looks at the Lady with the Long Golden Hair and shakes his head. “ You have not calmed sufficiently for us to continue.” The Lady with the Long Golden Hair says. “ What? Why not?” Writer Lady looks around the room trying to see what the Lady is seeing. “The men that have gathered have not dispersed. You are still a distraction to them. I have to help you relax more. Tell me, my sister, do you still like bubble baths?” “ Yes. I love them. I never seem to have the kind of time it takes for a good soak anymore.” Writer Lady answers. “ Close your eyes. Slow your breathing. Picture the most beautiful bathroom, bathtub you can. The tub is filled with scented bubbles. Inhale the aroma in the room. Take in the sight of candles lighting the room. Climb into the tub and settle

The Quest For Dobby's Destiny –Part IV Revised

Writer Lady approaches the stormtooper as slowly as she can get away with. She is so not ready for this and keeps repeating to herself, “What do I say? What do I say?” She hears TP's voice in her mind. “Slow your breathing, say 'Hello'. “ What the...?” Writer Lady exclaims as she trips falling face first on the floor at the stormtooper's feet. “ Silly Lady,” TP giggles “It's just me. Doing an Obi Wan. I will be your coach for this encounter. Charming is a very delicate matter. There are so many Do's and Don'ts in this situation I could not tell you all of them in time.” “ Getting inside my head and making me wonder if I am going crazy isn't really the best approach.” “ Good you are talking to me mentally instead of using your voice. You are a quick study. Maybe this will be okay.” “ Ma'am are you alright?” The stormtooper reaches down to help Writer Lady up. “ Yes. I am.” She answers rising. “ Don't

The Quest For Dobby's Destiny --Part III

We find Writer Lady and The Lady with the Long Golden Hair on the main floor of the convention center the next morning right after breakfast. The Lady with the Long Golden Hair's son has joined them. “I've got our badges.” Writer Lady says handing a badge to the Lady with the Long Golden Hair and her son Warrior with Intense Blue Eyes. “I think this is going to be a lot of fun.” Writer Lady says looking around main floor of the convention center. There is quite a bit of activity around them. Convention goers wearing costumes. Pictures being taken against a festive back-drop. Throngs of people coming out of the main hall with their own badges. “What should we do first?” “Do not forget. You are on a quest my dear sister.” The Lady with the Long Golden Hair reminds her. Writer Lady looks at the doors to Hallway 2. TP had instilled instincts within her spirit to help Writer Lady complete her mission. There he is standing at the entrance, white arm

   The Quest For Dobby's Destiny                   Part II “Is it hot in here or is it just me?” Mom says sitting down on the arm of the couch. “Dobby kitty where did that candy bar go that I brought home with me last week?” “So it begins.” TP announces smirking. Mom looks at the clock. “I don't care what kind of problem y'all are having, but I'm getting tired of this shit! I have been busting my butt to get out of town without any issues. Dammit I'm going!” Mom's face is bright red with anger. “I don't know why everyone keeps trying to steal my happiness away.” Mom starts crying. Tinkletoes looks at Mom shocked at this development. Looking back at TP, “Do you mean Merlin can make her?” TP nods. “But we all just did this.” “Not cramped together on a plane for five hours, you haven't. With extra turbulence, so you won't be able to get up and go to the bathroom for some peace and quiet.” “I'll ju
