As you may remember, I’m working on a children’s fantasy book (some of which can be read HERE), which we will call ATOOC. Feel free to guess what ATOOC is an acronym for. HINT: All words are represented, even small ones like a, and, of, and the, but not necessarily all of them are used. I probably won’t tell you what the name of it is until it’s finished though, so your guesses are strictly for my amusement. Dance Monkeys Dance!
I just wanted to let you know that I finally finished the first chapter and am currently on page 15. I’m really happy with the progress I’ve been making in the last few days, and feel like I got over a hump (LOL: hump). I hope to keep moving at a steady pace and will keep you all abreast (LOL: breast) of my progress.
Nicky: No, I wasn’t searching for you. Besides, I aready know I’m right about the picture, so I don’t need any further confirmation.
Craig: mmmmmhmmmmmmm you weren’t searching for me…
And did you actually Google “naked ugly guy”?
I did. It was horrific.
Can we get back on topic please?
As an additional hint, I’ll say that all the words have been guessed (but not in the same guesses) except for one. But I won’t tell you which one it is.
How about we guess the one missing!?
I say the second O
Nicky: Not going to happen. I neither have a wide angle lens nor an interest to burn your retinas with that image.
Think less this:
/_|_\
{_|_}
{_|_}
\_|_/
and more this:
( )
( )
( o )

Oh, that didn’t work, sorry Craig, back to topic it is.
I’m going to further my guess with “A Tale of _______ Creatures”
I got nuthin on the second “o”.
So all the words are in one post or by one poster? Hmmmmm. Polt has lots of words but personally I don’t think the word celery would be involved. If we guess will you tell us or keep us hanging? A Tale of Old creatures? or A Tale of Odd Creatures? Okay, there’s a reason I’m not a detective. Usseeellleessss.
I guess I’d probably tell once it was guessed correctly. Might be a while though…
Damn. You are mean.
A Tale of OTHER Creatures? I’m running out of O words and I’m probably on the wrong track completely. Can you tell me if “A” is right? Can I buy another vowel?
Dave S.: you excel at suckiness….gee, so do I.
Back on topic….
“A Time Of Open Crotches”? (again with the porn angle…but then this IS me guessing)
“A Tax On Octagon Candies”?
“Another Time, One O’Clock”? (obviously, I’m counting the O seperate from the Clock)
“At The Opening Of Congress”?
“Anderson: The Only Opposition Candidate”?
“At The Open Or Close”?
I’m just trying to find the last word. Personally, I’m going with “A Tale Of Odd Creatures” as the title, but time will tell.
HUGS…
There’s something very poetic about “At The Open Or Closeâ€. That’s not a hint. I just thought it was a cool one.
Craig: Is there a character name in the title? “______’s Tale of Odd Creatures”?
No. They are all regular words.
I hate being made a monkey! (stoopid dancing)
Don’t make me drive to NY Craig.
Don’t give up john. Perhaps re-reading the excerpt will inspire you?
My final guess is “A Time of Odd Creatures”. I’m too tired to keep dancing.
A Time of Old Creatures? You used creatures alot so I’m guessing that the C is for Creatures. The rest I’m stumped.
How about “A Tale Of Ordinary Creatures”?
Well done Bill!
“And Thus Opens Our Classroom.”
“Are There Odorous Offals, Charles?”
“Anthony Thomas’s Optical Operation Continues.”
“At The Olympic Outdoor Construct.”
“A Throughly Offense Oratorical Conclusion”
“And The Orphaned Ophelia Cries”
“Always The Optimum Orgasm, Craiggers.”
“A Tome Of Originial Craig-isms.”
“And The Occasional Overnight Conversation.”
….Yeah, guess who’s home from work, but still bored….
HUGS…
“Well done Bill!:)” …wait a minute…is that the title????
HUGS…
Yes, it’s correct. The title is “A Tale of Ordinary Creatures” and references the three main characters: an elf, a dog, and a lizard.
Damn Bill. Sneak in there with the right answer. LOL Well done. Will look forward to hearing more about your progress Craig.
That’s the title?! Do you think that title will catch anyone’s eye? A mother shopping for books will certainly pick up “And The Orphaned Ophelia Cries” over “A Tale of Ordinary Creatures.”
: )
But hey, I’m sure all the Puntabulous readers will buy a copy to support you, so that’s like 400 sold already.
Coming in very late I could never have come up with titles that were as creative anyway), but glad to hear you’re up to 15 pages! I’m looking forward to getting my own autographed copy.
Well hell…..all the guessing I was making and not even trying….
An elf, a dog and alizard….hmm, now my interest is piqued. We’ve all been Dancing Donkeys, now, Craiggers, is the time for you to become a Writing Wizard!
HUGS…
Polt: You are officially my hero for the day.
Get cracking Craig!
I LOVE the new stuff (see post on other page)
I also think the title is absolutely perfect. The elf, dog and lizard are ordinary creatures, the humblest of all in their world, who set off on a great adventure and prove that even they can do extraordinary things, like save the Kingdom!
