Late Night Thursday Writing Essential Don't...

I have returned from the wilds of New Mexico, and have selected a few wonderful new articles for your reading pleasure. Please drop by each of my Thursday Night Featured Picks and leave a comment for these incredible Gather writers:

Jake & The Masonic Log - Tour Guide Dog In Training by Cecile V

This delightful memoir was penned by the dog in question - Mr. P.L. Jake Vargo. What a literary doggie! You will love this tale... or should I say "tail?"

The Jackalopes Ate my Cantaloupes! by Cheri D.

Whether you believe in jackalopes or not, check out Cheri's garden rant!

White Sand Pt. 2 by Tracey

Mystery, canine adventure... and sci-fi?! Yup. Read it!

Sciurus Carolinensis (Eastern Gray Squirrel) by Rose W.

A gorgeous photopoetic essay on the nature of squirrels.

Rex by Ivy L

Elegy to a cuke-lovin' kitty.

Live, Social Security and Zeros by Casey Dennis

Not about an animal! But still an awesome read!

Next Thursday: Wild Card!

Just write, people! It's the last Thursday of July, and I will be tuning in from Chicago, where I will be speaking on Storytelling at the BlogHer 2007 conference. Bonus points for stories and poems that make me cry!

Want to participate in Birdie's Writing Essential Thursdays? Join the Gather: Writing Essential and post your stories and poems each Thursday - that's it!

I'm so excited for you Birdie and I know that you will wow your audience! I feel almost proprietary of you at times -- having met and dined with you for 4 days aboard the Jewel of the Seas. My Birdie I think to myself. Just look what she's up to!

Birdie, Jake is smiling in that big doggie meadow in the sky. Thank you for featuring. Now I've got to go read about Jackalopes, squirrels and so on...
