It's amazing that I accomplished anything this month. Here's why:

*This delightful vice is called Chicktionary.
cocoskeeper introduced me to it. You can try it out on her
website. Click on the upside-down chicken in her majic shoppe and it will take you to a free trial version of the game. If you have a Mac, you will be able to play it without any locks. If you have a PC and you want to experience the full version, you will have to buy the download.
*Now, even though it looks like I'm goofing off, this is research. I think it might actually make it into my MG novel. My main character's family loves word games. They are all Type-A personalities. If anything could distract them from their goals, however, it would be Chicktionary.
*I pretty much met all my writing goals this month, despite this entertaining sidetrack (I just love the funny chicken noises—Rruuh-Oh). Although, it has taken time away from LJ.
*Disclaimer: Chicktionary is addictive. Do not give it to children under the curse of homework. Great care should also be taken when introducing it to the elderly, as they may experience a loss of mobility in the lower extremities from sitting for days at a time. People particularly prone to procrastination should consider it a high-stakes game. Anyone that reacts adversely to clucks and chuckles should consult their conscience prior to pressing the download option.
*Here is a list of personal family members that should have read my disclaimer:
- My husband (who scored well over 1,000,000 points in 31 rounds)
- My college-age son (who should be studying his Quantum Physics)
- My teenage daughter (who can mimic the chicken noises with uncanny precision)
- My mother
- My mother-in-law
- My two brothers-in-law
- My two sisters-in-law
- Four of my nieces
BAWK!—Now go have some fun.
