THE STORY OF NEEDA'S BIRTH
Enjoying the company of creative writers and good friends on the
Writers Club is an experience I treasure.
One night, about two
weeks ago the Needa was born here.
Here are excerpts from the log of it's birth, though I feel as if something has been lost in the re-telling. I think it is the atmosphere there that night.
I have included the part on the log where everyone changed their names to Jilli so that you can sense the mood. Playful, friendly, inventive. This was one of those nights when everyone wanted to shuck off the stress of the day, and had nothing else on their minds except letting go ..and being silly ....which we were.
Funny one liners were flying so fast all I could do was laugh.
Every time I tried to type, a funnier quip would pop-up on my monitor.
My dog sat watching me, an odd expression on her face,
obviously worried about the state of my mental health, as I doubled
over time after time with laughter.
This night the 'Needa' came into existence .. through a typo by Fredguy, a quick reply from Dixon, and adoption of it's existence by the channel, .... we had a NEEDA. From Fred's typo ..needa ..( instead of needs ) .. one of the funniest dialogues followed that I've ever read.
Inspired by this dialoq, 'THE BALLAD OF THE NEEDA' was written by adverb ... Inspired by this dialog, is the story of 'THE NEEDA OF THE FATHER' by Fred Parker, and 'THE NINJA NEEDA' by Hope.
Talented people all .. using this as an opportunity and outlet for their creativity.
