Trying my hand at handwritten

On a blog I frequently read, someone did a guest post, and it totally rocked. I went to that person's site and found out that all of her posts rocked!

Her name is K.M. Criddle, and she's a YA author. Her blog can be found HERE. You should go check it out! And if you like it, become a follower. Authors like that. :)

She hand writes ALL of her posts, and adds pictures and color. It's brilliant, I tell you. Brilliant! And holy cow, time consuming. Way more work than just typing a post. But, she made it look like so dang much fun, I had to try it for a post. Even if I fall way short of her ability to draw cartoon characters. And even if I tried for hours and couldn't find a way to make blogger show it as all one picture without being blurry, the way it was intended. (Curse you, blogger!)

K.M. Criddle will be all right with me completely plagiarizing her style, right? (Right?!) I hope so, because I had a lot of fun. And imitation, after all, is the sincerest form of flattery.

I decided to write my handwritten post about something that has been on my mind a lot lately...

Peggy, that was awesome!! And for the record, your handwriting could pass as font. It's that consistent. Such a great post!!

Ha! I'm crazy flattered, dude. Thanks so much for the shout out! And your drawings are SUPER cute. I, too, am grateful for melanin, mostly because it hides my Wolverine claws. And my thunder thighs. But mostly the claws.

I'm grateful for Melanin because in large amounts it make me look tan.
