BEWARE: Subliminal Messages!

IT'S SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE DAY!
I've done subliminal messages in the past, and except for the enormous amount of folks from the religious right who read this blog religiously [none that I know of], I've gotten great responses from it [lukewarm responses, tepid at best]. I'm thinking of making it a weekly feature. Let me know what you think.

FYI: Subliminal messages are placed in [] brackets, so if you'd rather not read them for fear of all things subliminal, feel free to skip over said [ma
jorly important] messages.

First of all, depending on your gender and sexual preference, you're welcome for the pics of the freaking gorgeous Christina Aguilera and ridiculously handsome Brad Pitt in my last post. I heard some readers actually passed out from their extreme gorgeousness. [I heard no such thing, but wouldn't that be cool?]

Secondly, I've been mixing fun with work lately, using my birthday as a [valid] excuse not to work as hard as usual on my manuscript. But, my birthday [weekend] is over and now the harsh reality of work and work alone [with a splash of Tru TV thrown in for good measure] is setting in. Until next week, that is, when husband has off and we'll be doing fun things like dining out, driving around looking at the pretty lights, [doing things I can't mention here since this blog is rated PG], seeing movies, working on our music, and SLEEPING IN.

So, from here on out [the next four days], I'm getting down to business. Butt In Chair in a big, fat, big-butt kind of way. [Except when I'm downstairs eating brownies or napping.] I promised my agent a fully polished 2nd draft for Christmas, and I intend to deliver [shouldn't be blogging, should be working on ms].

So, here's a toast to getting the work done. Join me if you wish [dare, have nothing better to do, are a natural-born "follower"] and get some work done. Because next week, it's PARTY CENTRAL, BABY! [Yeah right. Who am I kidding? Next week I'll be writing just like I always do.]

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE DAY POLL:
Here's a chance to share your thoughts! [I'll do what I want, anyway.]

a) Yay! Weekly Subliminal Message Day! [It freaking ROCKS!]

Or...

b) No way, Jose! Subliminal Message Day is like totally lame, dude! Stick to REAL messages. Oh, and no more voodoo dolls!!! [Yeah, whatever you freak. I love me some voodoo dolls!]

I say, "thumbs up," to the subliminal. You crack me up even more, and may I say that laughing is a lovely way to start the week (so I vote for Subliminal Mondays). :)

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Julie, I'm so glad I made you laugh. Subliminal Mondays is brilliant! But, oh, the pressure! ;-)

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Karen, That's two votes for SMD. Woohoo!

Concord Carpenter said...

Make that three votes!

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

CC, So nice to meet you. Your vote is duly noted. ;-)

Sandra Leigh said...

Make that four [or more, if this message has to wait for approval. If it does, this could be vote #30 - but that would be okay, too, because it would mean more votes for Subliminal Monday, Yay!] But I digress. a.

Jemi Fraser said...

Subliminal messages are [lots of] fun!!

mo.stoneskin said...

Sorry, can't stop, gotta run and paint my nails red and drink champagne.

injaynesworld said...

Definitely lovin' on the subliminal messages. Blogging has gotten me back to writing again after a five-year-drought. I've written many TV scripts, but so far a book idea has not found its way into my consciousness. You inspire me...

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Sandra, Four it is! Thanks for voting [you freaking rock!].

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Jemi, They are, aren't they? Well, I mean when they're not messages from the devil [crazy, outdated belief system].

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

mo, Red nails and champagne? What gives? Whatever it is, count me in! [I love manis, pedis, and all things bubbly.]

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Jayne, Write a book, write a book! [write a book, damn it!]

Donna M. Kohlstrom said...

Loved your post! Got me smiling and giggling!

I'm a go for subliminal!

Kimberly Franklin said...

I vote (A) all the way! But, I don't think your subliminal messages worked...because I'm pretty sure I still want to blog while playing with my voodoo dolls, eating gooey brownies, and, of course, nap. Wait. What?
I retract my statement. Maybe they did work. : )

Subliminal Mondays = BRILLIANT!!!

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Donna, Got you giggling? GREAT!! [I love making people laugh.]

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Gayle, Thanks. [I wonder if she really likes the idea, or is just being nice. Hmmm....]

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Kimberly, Darn it! I was SO hoping they'd work... [Hee hee - they worked and she doesn't even know it!]

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Julie, it looks like Subliminal Mondays is getting all the votes! Brilliant idea, simply brilliant.

[Darn you, Julie! Do you know how much pressure that's going to be? Sheesh. Need. More. Chocolate.]

Voidwalker said...

I'm confused :P

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

VW, Which part confuses you? All of it?

[Good! SM's are working their magic! Confuse the masses, then go in for the kill. What kill? I've no idea. But it sounds impressive, don't you think?]

Bethany Wiggins said...

Pretty hilarious! I always enjoy a good laugh.

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Bethany, Happy to make you laugh, and glad you stopped by. [No, seriously, I'm really glad you did.]

Debbie said...

I love me some subliminal messages! I say keep 'em up.

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Debbie, How the heck have you been, gf? I've missed you! [I've missed you like crazy.] I'll be sure to keep the SM's coming!

Voidwalker said...

I went to comment, then I got a post confused with what I was commenting on... don't mind me, I'm on meds for a sinus infection LOL

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

VW, That's the same excuse I use! [No, seriously, it's the same one.]

Angela Corbett said...

I love subliminal message day. Religious Right LOL! :)

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Angela, I think it's a go! {The Moral Minority is neither]

Fragrant Liar said...

HAHAHA, I love those butt chairs, but as a writer, one must pursue the Butt in Chair (BIC) mantra. I would like to get one of those for my writing room. How fun would that be.

I like humor straight up. Subtle, but only occasionally subliminal.

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

FL, They should start selling those chairs at Target. They'd probably fly off the shelves.

I love humor in all its varieties. Contrary to popular belief, laughter - not chicken soup - is the best medicine. [Even better than chocolate.] ;-)

Pen Pen said...

I like it- Stephen King always puts character's thoughts in italics when he writes. I like how u seem to have the world represented AND all the crazy, fun stuff in ur head out there too. :)

OH!! AND-Go see my latest post! U may just be able to relate to it! :)
(and the first 2 songs on the playlist are for you!!) HUGS!!!

Debra Lynn Shelton said...

Penny, There is no word sparkly enough to describe you. Katy Perry and all the cupcakes in the world don't match up to your awesomeness. [And I mean that with every ounce of my being!]

Hello .. firstly I would like to send greetings to all readers. After this, I recognize the content so interesting about this article. For me personally I liked all the information. I would like to know of cases like this more often. In my personal experience I might mention a book called Generic Viagra in this book that I mentioned have very interesting topics, and also you have much to do with the main theme of this article.
