Wibble or Bibble? You decide.

At this point I feel it is important to submit this question for discussion. It is a question that has weighed heavily on my mind for years. I have put it off for far too long.

In support of the Bibble faction, this memorable bibble moment comes from Blackadder II:

Edmund: And in Genoa, it is the custom to stand with one foot in a bucket, pin a live frog to one’s shoulder braid, and go ‘Bibble’ at passers-by.

It is indeed a dilemma. Oh…. wibble.

(Cast your vote in the comments… which will prevail? Wibble or Bibble? The fate of the world is in your hands.)

Writer’s block

Things I can do to inpire me to write:

· Drink fifteen quadruple-strength coffees.

· Scour the news for ideas.

· Free writing: start writing complete crap and eventually it will work itself out into something.

· Think of a really good opening sentence, then stare at the screen until there are more words.

· Put said opening sentence at the end of the chapter/scene and write the scene so that it leads up to the sentence.

· Bash my head against the desktop repeatedly, while swearing at the top of my lungs. (Note: this one may annoy the neighbors.)

· Pick five random words from the dictionary and string them together into a sentence. Repeat hundreds of times until it’s finished.

· Read something by somebody really clever, then plagiarize. Then feel bad about it and delete everything.

· Juggle penguins. It doesn’t help me write, but the penguins seem to enjoy it.

· Ingest a mind-altering substance next to a keyboard. Check again later when consciousness is regained.

· Write stupid lists of things to do until I get a better idea.

Google search

To the person who found my site by searching for “belly+japan+gallery“: I’m sorry but there is no Japanese belly gallery on my site. Just a lot of navel-gazing of a different kind. But I’ll certainly keep it in mind for a future article.

Wibble

Ever have days when you have absolutely nothing to say? This is one of them.

[Insert witty and entertaining commentary here.]

It’s times like this when I think it’s best just to stick two pencils up my nose, put my shorts over my head, and say, “wibble“.
