Much Ado About Nothing

"There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own." - Katherine Anne Porter

Just FYI, one of my older short stories is posted as the Free Read at The Long and the Short of It today.

Also, if any of you purchased and read "A Change Of Heart", I'd love if you went back to the Wild Rose Press site and left a review. You can do that on the "buy" page of the story. Thanks! And, I hope you enjoyed it :-)

It's the number two bestseller in the Yellow Rose category, but hasn't hit the front door, overall best seller list yet. :::fingers crossed:::

====================

I got the first round of edits back for "Kitchen Matches" (and, yes, it seems we're going to stick with that title after all, lol). They aren't so bad, phew! Maybe I am getting better at what I do, but it's clear that an author can't edit herself well because some of the things I look for (like words that distance: felt, heard, saw, smelled, etc) and the dreaded "THAT" still slip through. Not as many as used to be there, but still... when you consider how many times I check for those things, it's frustrating to still miss them.

=====================

Dakota has taken some form of a puppy pep pill. Seriously. There seems to be NOTHING we can do to wear her out. Yesterday she went on FOUR bike rides -- each of two miles or more. Understand that she runs full out the entire time, usually holding the leash in her teeth and pulling me. She also went outside twice to fetch the ball, and once just to run around on her own while I watered. And she was still bouncing off the walls all day long.

Dear heavens. A word of warning: DO NOT GET AN IRISH SETTER. EVER.

And, I don't care what the breeder says, she's at LEAST 3/4 Irish Setter, lol.

You Scored Much Ado About Nothing!

First published in 1600, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most enduring comedies, and probably his most performed to this day.

Much Ado About Nothing tells the story of two pairs of would-be lovers and the hysterical events that happen surrounding the wedding. As Claudio and Hero prepare to marry, Don Pedro and his friends, bored with the length of preparation time, take it upon themselves in the meantime to play matchmaker to Benedick and Beatrice, two sharp-tongued would-be lovers whose love for each other is masked by the "merry war of words" in which they are engaged that both of them are too stubborn to lose.

Based on your results, we believe you to be a quick-witted, light-hearted romantic who is probably very charming and charismatic. While your stubbornness may sometimes get the better of you, we are confident that you always eventually come to your senses and do what's best. You probably have a lot of friends and we like you too!
