The McCrabass blog is a distraction for me–it’s fluff, it’s fun–aka it’s mental masturbation.
I consider my blogging as a sort of “Artist’s Way” minus the touchy-feely-I-was-once-married-to-Marty-Scorsese-but-he-dumped-me-so-now-I-write-how-to-books-for-wannabe-artists-aka-bored-housewives –but with box wine, chocolate and Bikram yoga. Oh and dark purple highlights and buttloads of salty language.
Simply put, I’m a writer who blogs for fun. I’m not into that brand-building bullshit. (Side note: what the fuck is branding anyway? Why are we supposed to brand ourselves to each other? What the fuck does it have to do with the price of eggs? It doesn’t help people get meaningful work, believeyoume. It’s basically a bullshit term made up by marketers. You’re only a brand if you’ve been heated up on the range where the deer and the antelope play, and used to tap some livestock ass.)
When I’m not thinking up and composing posts, I’m writing my book and looking for a gig. That type of writing is my true calling, along with journalism which I happen to do quite well when given the opportunity.
The following list is made up of folks who are great writers and use their blogs to display their dog-given talent. Some days they write more than on others by using words and images–or just words or just images–kinda like yours truly here. I’ve been reading these folks for a long time now and I suggest you check ‘em out. They write to write, not for the nebulous glory of Internet awards but because they love writing. Oh, and they all have something to say which is the mostest important aspect.
I’m not going to write up brief descriptions of their work because you need to do your own heavy lifting. You won’t regret it either.
In no particular order, if you may …

Learn ‘em, know ‘em, love ‘em.
I’m honored to be on the list and amidst such august company. Are they also broke, unemployed, and professionally frustrated like me, and down to their last set of bronze nipple clamps?
I really appreciate the shout out Jules since I’m still on hiatus. Thanks buddy!
Excellent choices. Excellent.

Hell, I’m honored to on your list! Thanks so much! Look forward to checking out some of the others. I’m afraid the only other one I read is Lame Adventures–and I wouldn’t miss V for the world!
Hugs,
Kathy

you gotta be on my radar for some time hon before you get mentioned.
In otherwords, don’t sweat it. no one reads my blog anyway.
and, you’ll get your turn soon enough!
Hmm… is it strange that I’m 50% terrified, and 50% aroused? Well, maybe 60/40… :D
them are good odds.
Now all I’ve got to do is figure out if the 60 is scared or ……
hmm…good luck with that.
Well, you COULD help the decision. Which is your favourite – silk, leather, or steel? :D
silk, leather, or steel?
feathered boa. and hot wax.
Well, shoot, darlin’, you’re DEAD! Silk boa ain’t gonna stop ANYTHING inbound, neither will the wax. My choices were for firearms, blunt weapons, and edged weapons. What the heck WERE you thinkin? ;)
