Writerland



This was a fleeting whim I buried at the end of a post maybe three people read. I'm bringing it to the forefront for frank discussion, because I think it's important. writers' theme park. What do you think? My initial thoughts for rides:


Process Land
     Butt-in-Chair House of Horror


Tween Land
     Peck-on-Cheek Tunnel of Love


Social Media Land
     Tweet or Feed the Kids Twirling Chairs

Nonfiction Land
     Bibliography Bobsled

We'll need a YA Land and MG Land, of course. A Picture Book Land. Dystopia Land? All food kiosks will serve chocolate and coffee. I'll approach investors after I hear your suggestions.

Genius! What about writer's blockout? It could be kinda like Space mountain :)

Lisa Gail Green said...

The Golden Eagle said...

I love the idea! :)

Michael Di Gesu said...

Awesome idea...

We can hold all our blogger meets and greets there. Blogger from all over the world can congregate and meet there buddies in person!

The Query Coaster--you're up! You're down!

You're far nicer than me. I'm more of an ass-to-chair girl.

Hope all is well on your end. Not sure if you're celebrating spring or fall, either way, hope it's a great new season.

Cheers and Eat Well.

And I like Kris's query coaster idea too!!

MG Higgins said...

Thanks for visiting, guys. I love Writer's Blockout and Query Coaster! They'll definitely be hot attractions. And Happy, yeah, probably need to leave it butt--little ones might come with their writer parents. :)

Thea said...

It's utterly brilliant.

MaryWitzl said...

Count me in! What about a First Draft Ride? Or a whirlwind spin on Procrasti Nation?

Tricia J. O'Brien said...

Hilarious! I want tickets, too.
Hmm, maybe Revision Round-about, which goes around and around and around.

MG Higgins said...

Ooh, yes, a First Draft Ride and Procrasti Nation! Love it. And we absolutely need a Revision Round-about--the ride that never ends.
