Yep! I'll write words for you!

...basically yeah, that's it.

Go!

Yep, I've made my way over to Weasyl. In all likelihood there's not gonna me much over there that you can't find over here, but if you prefer weasyl to FA, you can still find me.

Boop.

So! Another one of these. It looked interesting, and hey, I've gotta get that last journal off my page somehow.

Technically you're supposed to tag people for this, but I've never been one for chain letters. Go donate to ALS instead.

Questions answered from the point of view of my OC, Jazz Cat.
Ahem.

1. What is your name?
Cicero Trouble Cat, technically. But everyone calls me Jazz.

2. Do you know why you were named that?
Well, let's see, I'm a cat and I play jazz. So no, I have no idea why I'm named Cicero.
I do tend to get into trouble, though.

3. Single or taken?
Taken, to the surprise of just about everybody I've ever met. But hey, when a girl like that comes along...

4. Have any abilities or powers?
I have an excellent ear. Actually I have two of them.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue!
No! (Grumpy cat)

6. What's your eye color?
Golden. At least, that's what they tell me. I've always thought it was yellow.

7. How about hair color?
Orange, dark orange, darker orange. I'm assuming you mean fur there...

8. Have you any family members?
Well, there's Jessa, obviously. We also have a half-brother around somewhere and a grandmother who we try to avoid because she's kinda scary. And of course there's the rest of the musicians around here.

9. Oh? How about pets?
Well, one very special one :3 To answer what you were actually asking, though, no.

10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
I don't like shoes. Or socks, really... I mean, just why?

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
...I play jazz. That's sort of my thing.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Haven't we all?

13. Ever… killed anyone before?
No, and I sincerely hope to keep it that way.

14. What kind of animal are you?
I'm a musician! :D But really, though, I'm a cat. See above re "I'm Jazz Cat," I guess.

15. Name your worst habits.
I tend to overuse the blue note in major keys. Um... sometimes I drink too much. I don't think I've ever showed up to a gig drunk, though...

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Almost everyone. I'm only 5'2" you know.

17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Yep.

18. Do you go to school?
Do we even have a school in this town?

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Oh, good lord o.o Don't ask me that.

20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
I always check the audience for fans, but I have trouble seeing the crowd past the panties being flung at me.

21. What are you most afraid of?
Losing someone dear to me.

22. What do you usually wear?
Typically whatever I wore to my last gig. Most of a suit.

23. What's one food that tempts you?
Tuna fish. Now shush.

24. Am I annoying you?
Not yet?

25. Well, it's still not over!
I'll give it a chance, then.

26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Pff. What's lower than low class? I'm an alley cat, I'm a jazz musician.
Of course, keep in mind that I'm also a cat, which places me above everyone else right there. Also, whatever you're sitting on right now is mine, I'm just letting you use it.

27. How many friends do you have?
I don't have friends. I have acquaintance and lovers. And enemies, probably.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?
I probably eat more than I should. I spend a lot of time in greasy-spoon diners.

Why, whatcha got?

31. What's your favorite place?
Hmm... hard to say, really. Can the whole city be a place?

32. Are you interested in anyone~?
I'm interested in everyone. People are fascinating.

33. That was a stupid question.
*Shrug*

34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
No, thank youl

35. What's your type?
Small, cute, long hair, soft fur, pink rosettes, ice magic, frisky in bed, met about two years ago—wait, hang on, I've gotten sidetracked.

36. Any fetishes?
I pick up fetishes like most people pick up pennies.

37. Seme or uke?
Had to look this one up. But seme. as it happens. For the most part.

38. Camping or indoors?
Indoors, thank you. The last time I went camping I got caught in a blizzard, and that was... well... actually, that specific instance ended up going pretty well. But still, I'll take the city over the country any day.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words.

The expression "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words" appears in a 1911 newspaper article quoting newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane discussing journalism and publicity.
As a writer, this brings up some philosophical questions for me. Of course, so does changing a flat tire. But the question remains—how does a picture compare with a written account? I'm curious.
So what if somebody were to pair a picture with a thousand-word vignette?

A vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, idea, setting, or object.
Don't ask me what "trenchant" means, I have no idea.
That's what the Moment in Time project is all about. (Cue PowerPoint presentation.) Artists—and recipients of art—collaborating with writers to create a view of the subject from both angles. Got a new piece of art, something that tells a story? Work with a Moment in Time writer to actually get that story told, in exactly one thousand words.

1000: n. An arbitrary number that seemed like a good idea at the time.
At the moment, of course, the only writer actually involved in the project is me, since I just came up with it. And since the idea is still in development, the work will be free. But hey, who knows—it might just get off the ground. If this seems like an interesting idea, pull out some art and join the movement. Spread it around, get more people with art to hop on. Writers, feel free to pick this up too. It'll be fun.

Fun is related to the concept that time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
