Judging by the Great Wall o' Text accompanying this ad, I'm going to assume they've overcompensated for a lackluster product.

Your little squirrel probably looks like an incontinent skunk who is dribbling pee on your vest.

"Take a look at my ornament!"

"Hmm.... it looks like a skunk... and why is it peeing on your vest???"

"Wow! This skunk smells bad."

"Of course, it is a skunk."

"No, no, no. It smells like you."

Did you ever make a really stupid mistake writing a book, only to find it months after publishing? I did. I meticulously research everything. I thought! But one thing got by me. My novel, The Fifth Seduction, is turning one this month, so I decided to reread it. I have a scene in it where global rock star Daniel Palmer tells a story about his early days with his band, when they were young, broke blokes in England. They'd pitch a tent on the outskirts of towns as they traveled for gigs, and one night a skunk wandered into their tent and sprayed them. When I reread that part a couple of days ago, I decided to look up whether there are skunks in England, because I hadn't looked into that when I wrote the book last year. I guess I assumed there were skunks in England. NOPE. No skunks in England, unless someone has one as a pet. (Okay, that's odd.) Luckily, England has POLECATS, which spray a horrible, gag-inducing odor, as skunks do, so I just rewrote my book. #rewrite #mistakes #research #skunks #polecats #writing #writer #editing #writersCoffeeClub #writers #mastodon #books #book #bookstodon #booksky #scribesAndMakers #authors #author #stupidity
