Today's quote is from Plutarch. A Greek who became a Roman citizen, he studied mathematics and philosophy among other things. He lived to the ripe old age of 74.Plutarch wrote biographies of the Roman emperors as well as Alexander the Great. Much of his work is still in existence which is pretty amazing when you consider he lived between 46 CE and 126 CE.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and nods when I nod. My shadow does that much better.
Isn't this what we hope to find in a good critique partner or beta reader?
I'm looking for a few good beta readers. If you like, know about or are interested in MG, I'm on the hunt, I'm after you.
Which, oddly enough, reminds me of "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran. Liked the song but never really understood the words. They surprised me. Read along as they sing.
Dark in the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound
I'm lost in a crowd.
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heat
I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound.
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground
I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound.
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
What are your favorite lines? Mine are: "Straddle the line in discord and rhyme," and "Mouth is alive with juices like wine." Ooooooo.
