Jane Jago - shut up and write

[Jane]

Old Grandma Muffet sat on a tuffet
One sunny Saturday
There came a dick driver who sat down beside her
But she groped him and he ran away

hehehe Just another day at my job.

[Jane]

Hippie Frannie somebody's granny
How does your garden grow?
With poppy seeds and ganja weeds
And hookah pipes all in a row

[Nat]

You are killing me with these poems. *dies*

[Jane]

Okay. Today's ration of lunacy

You are old so you shouldn't bedazzle
You should be both faded and frazzled
It shouldn't be you
With a Harley (brand new)
And a Swarovski Crystal vajazzle

[Christina]

I nearly spit coffee out my nose. Well done.

[Dwayne, That's Dr. Cannibal To You]

Jane, Jane, Jane. I don't know much about poetry, but I know what I like. This, I fucking love!

haha excellent!

[Nat]

When I'm old, I'm totally going to vajazzle... wait... maybe not. ;)

[Marie Silk]

Lol Jane, these rhymes are really something :D

It sounds uncomfortable to me ... but then I did get used to my toe rings, which I now never take off.

[Jane]

You are old, let me just make it clear
That even your knitting is queer
You should knit baby clothes
To warm tiny toes
Not merkins in purple cashmere

And now I've figured out what to do with the blinding rainbow blend I picked up on a whim.
>:-)

[Jane]

You are old, so you should never roam
Should be timid, and always at home

Wearing slippers and robe 

Not trotting the globe

With only a toothbrush and comb

I've been Nominated. For an award. 2017 best female author.
TheAuthorsShow.com.

I'm wagging my tail like mad.

There is even a digital seal thingy to prove it. But I've never managed to get an image on Goodreads so...

Wheeeeee

[G.G., Genre Buster Extraordinaire]

Congrats Jane!

[Jane]

Thanks GG. X

[Christina]

Congrats! That's amazing!

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Congratulations, Jane!! Happy tail wagging! Hugs!!

[Nathan]

That's fantastic! Congrats

Yay! Congrats! :)

[Jane]

You are old, and you are a disgrace
Should be modest and downcast of face
It is so deeply wrong
That you're wearing a thong
And a peephole in black silk and lace

[Jane]

You are old so you shouldn't do this
You should just rise above tell and kiss
But your feed on Twitter
Is funny and bitter
I think you're just taking the piss

[G.G., Genre Buster Extraordinaire]

ok...Honestly, I am not a fan of poems, but yours are hilarious and might just make me change my mind after all. :P

[Jane]

Thanks GG. See my stuff isn't proper poetry because it don't take itself at all seriously

[G.G., Genre Buster Extraordinaire]

That could be why I love it. It's a 'masked' poetry!

[Jane]

😍

[Jane]

You are old, you should walk with a cane
Of your twinges you ought to complain
But just yesterday
You ran fifteen k
Whatever is wrong with your brain

© jane jago 2017

[R.]

Dear Jane, if you still have the force
To run the full fifteen k course
And it makes you feel good
Then of course you should
But I'd need some help from a horse.

:=*)

[Jane]

Okay. I'm on the horns of a thingy (do not get overexcited CB) about this book wot I writ.

I've had it out to the betas and gotten diametrically opposed reactions. On one side -meh. On the other -we want a sequel.

The second are outweighing the first. So. My inclination is to just stick it out there and see if it sinks or swims.

What would you do?

[R.]

Personally I'd leave it for a couple of months and see how I feel about it then.

It's been several months in the thinking what I might do.about it phase. I can find no plot holes and my proof reader has okayed it. I'm leaning towards sink or swim matey. Sink or effing swim...

[Christina]

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Ahem... I know, I already have so many of your books still to read. But this is the way I look at it: If there is one person who likes it, odds are there are others as well. Plus launching books is exciting!

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

I'm with Christina on this, and it sounds like more than one person likes it, so... move that book!! Hugs!! : D

[Jane]

Okay. The little sod will be out there soooooon.

In the meantime a little bit more lunacy

One for the fantasy writers in our midst

Said a skull in a costume monastic
This place is entirely fantastic
I've just had a talk
With an erudite Orc
I'm so pleased that my mind is elastic

I like how you think, Jane. Publishing is like potato chips. Why stop at one when you can have the whole bag? :P

[Jane]

Quoth the raven?

The book is being booked by KDP as I write

[Christina]

Yay!!!

[Jane]

Quick. Quick. It escaped. Follow it into the bushes before it does something disgusting.....





Fingers crossed. Now we just need somebody to buy it.

Anybody fancy an LRC (late reader copy)?

Yeah. This is where my dread of beta readers lies. When some feel this way and some feel that way. The ones I had on my first novel were fabulous, don't get me wrong.*

Glad you published it. Bottom line, if we love our books, they need to be out there just in case someone else will love them, too.

*Rant edited out... will be saved for another time in a better place.

[Christina]

I read the Look Inside sample up to the first string of f-bombs and promptly hit the buy now button.

Congrats on the new book baby!
