Thank you 🙂 And likewise xx

Always here if you need someone to bounce off 😀 <3

Easy to do. I’ve had to make some changes this year, so will see how that goes 🙂

haha, completely been there. In fact, that’s what mad me do NaNo the first year – because I’d spent so long planning I’d done no writing!

Well, that’s the other side of it – sometimes you can get so caught up in the planning/promoting stuff you forget to do any actual, you know, writing. Sigh indeed. It’s a tough balancing act. I am well behind at the moment but hey, tomorrow is a new day 🙂

Just blushing. ALL the blushing. Thank you.

And glad you agree – the more I get into writing, the more I realise how crucial planning is – unfortunately, I am pained to say that while dictation has already nearly quadrupled my output speeds, I have already realised I really need to move towards the plotting end of the spectrum, or at least much more so than I am now. SIGHHHHHHHH.

LOL. I’m fairly sure the lizard lovers aren’t offended! While I didn’t know about the term draining the lizard, I DID know about the reptilian part of the brain – I studied psychology, so knew it from that – proper fascinating.

I hope they work for you 😀

“Lizard brothel” is an extension of “draining the lizard”, a term I picked when I was a U.S. Marines. “Draining the lizard” is slang for urinating. Marines do a lot of lizard draining. By extension, there is even jerking of the lizard.

And in a flash while writing my previous comment, I extended that slang into a metaphor to describe the size of Donald Trump’s you-know-what, specifically the lizard that motivates him to grope women without their permission, and the only place he can find the right sized female would be a lizard brothel that only hires Jaragua lizards to service their smallest sized clients. After all, Trump is a chameleon too. He’d feel right at home.

To any lizard lovers, I did not mean to disparage or insult real lizards with this metaphor.

Did you know that human’s most instinctive drives reside in an area of our brain inherited from reptiles? It’s called the reptilian brain and it’s the oldest of the three parts of our brains that controls the body’s vital functions. The reptilian brain is reliable but tends to be somewhat rigid and compulsive.

And I did not write this comment with a serious, sober expression. Now excuse me, I must sign off to go drain my lizard.
