For the last few days I have been carrying around a stuffed snake - it was to be my inspiration for a new character - WHICH WAS A BOY GARTER SNAKE! Frankly, no matter how much I tried to envision this character, who I’ve started to write about but have not yet published here - this little blue bellied, sparkly garter snake, tells me that she is a “GIRL GARTER SNAKE”!
She also proceeded to tell me that her name is unpronounceable by humans; it is something like “ssssiiiiillllyeeeee”. She was right, it is unpronounceable I just don’t have the tongue for all those sounds.
Well I said, ok, I give in you are a girl and I will call you “Cecily*, she who sparkles with the blue belly!!
Now she has had her introduction and I hope she will leave me alone so that I can get back to the main storyline, that is if there ever was one.....
For those who may be interested I looked up Cecily and here is what I found:
*Cecily \ce-ci-ly\ as a girl's name is pronounced SES-i-lee. It is of Latin and Old Welsh origin, and the meaning of Cecily is "blind; sixth". From the medieval vernacular form of Cecilia

By the way I found a great pix of giraffe!
To my knowledge there WILL BE NO GIRAFFE IN MY STORY!
There won't be one, unless a traveling circus comes around......
But, the pix was just to cute not to post it!
It just screams,
“DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!
