This cool Pin.

Last Saturday I only posted a Weekly Recap, but over at You Tube I posted an episode of, Vinyl on My Mind: Talking Book.

I started out this week with Sample Sunday 49- It’s Like the Full Moon.

On Monday, I posted My Geekdom: Betty Boop.

On Tuesday, I added to my Character files Mira’s opinion on the Eternal Curse and then I posted an interview about Fleischerhaus with author Melissa Bowersock.

On Wednesday, I post my first WWW Wednesday contribution in months.

On Thursday, I observed U.S. Patriot Day and then posted a long overdue WIP Update.

And yesterday, I posted a special Friday Forecast which featured my 2nd Mock Squid Soup Review: Burn After Reading.

Thanks for hanging out with me this week. I hope to see you again next week.

Classic Betty

I like Betty Boop, but more specifically, I like classic Betty.

For the most part I don’t mind old ideas or stories being given a new spin, twist, or retelling, but none of the new Betty stuff is as good as Max Fleischer’s original American sweetheart. I feel like Betty is misunderstood by the masses, a feeling I often have concerning myself. She’s a cartoon, but not necessarily for kids, even though she’s not a bad girl. I think some of my stories and even some of my characters are like this and I’m not speaking specifically of my Eternal Curse Series.

I’d love to see classic Betty back on the big screen. Her cameo in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” was cute, but this star deserves to shine on her own.
