The Continuing Adventures of Noggin & Ted

Saturday, apres overtime, finds me penniless as usual and tired to boot. Being creative is not easy when your eyes keep closing of their own volition. Perhaps I have, inadvertantly, 'bitten off more than I can chew', in that I am, at present, writing a short story (horror) a childrens book and the original 'novel'. Maybe I should concentrate on completing at least one at a time. Alternately, I could amalgamate the three and see what happens.

'He stared, unable to comprehend the brick wall the other side of the door. He ran to the window and threw open the dusty velvet curtains to reveal.......Noggin and Ted, Noggin was waering his bright red wellington boots, 'Oh Ted, he smiled at the little bear, 'I'm so happy with my beautiful birthday present, they really are the best boots ever!' Ted laughed his gruff little teddy bear laugh.......ironic really, he thought. 'Two divorces, three years in therapy and all because, it turns out, I have a shoe fetish.'

Oh, well. Maybe not.

  1. I think I'd be perfect for the part of Ted in Noggin and Ted - The Movie. I'm thinking Edward Norton as Noggin.

  3. Noggin & Ted a la Stephen King - now that would be worth reading; horror stories for kids.

  4. Noggin and Ted, Noggin and Ted
    eat up your dinner
    or they'll have your head
    Noggin and Ted, Noggin and Ted
    who is that lurking
    under your bed?
    Noggin, his knife all shiny
    and bright, or Ted
    with eyes that glow in the night?
