Tough (Question) Tuesday: What does your Vampire look like?
Many months ago, I responded to a comment or a post or a something somewhere in the Interwebs about my Vampire. I decided then & there that his name was Vern, he was a hunchback, spoke like he’s a heavy smoker that has lived on Long Island for his whole life (probably at least 200 years), & had an abundance of ear hair. Funny thing was, when I gave my Vampire a name & these ridiculous attributes, I started seeing him in my head. When he’d try to talk to me, I’d remember what he sounded like, & would immediately (a) smile & (b) dismiss him.
Now you & I both know that I ain’t no artist, but Vern was begging to be created on the page. So, today, I drew him:
And yes, now you have to recipriate, & you can do it by naming your Vampire & describing his/her attributes in the Comments section, or by making your own visual, posting it on your blog, & linking to the post using the widget below. Vampire Ridiculors unite!

Ummmm okay. This just made me have a HUGE realization: when I tried to envision my vampire, the picture that came to mind was…ME! I'm my OWN vampire!? Could that possibly be!? How's THAT for a 9am realization. Holy wow!
I'm going to go meditate on that for a while…(I have a sneaking suspicion it probably revolves around certain types of self-sabotage!)
You're good, Michelle! Better than you know!

Ummmm, I think this is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. My favorite part is "stupid cape". And also the hunchback. I need to start picturing my vampire!! Stay tuned….

My vampire is named Ravena Doomlah. I've written a book about her. She has her very own blog, in fact it's: http://Vamchoir.blogspot.com. I really liked the way your vampire was hunchbacked. I had never in my wildest imagination ever considered that a vampire might choose to wear cacky pants and dress in the same style of polo shirt that employees at McDonald's wear; not like Stephenie Meyer's characters do in the Twilight Series. {It's amazing how none of our vampires are exactly alike.} Even still — I think all vampires are fascinating and spectacular to read about.

@Krista – Your Vampire is yourself?! Whoa. That is big. But it made me think about how I invented Vern to purposely be ridiculous & funny & stupid. What would your Vampire look like if you created him/her?
@Jess – Ohmygosh, if you drew your Vampire I might die of happiness. And glad you agree that his cape his stupid! I mean, he's an old New York Jew who lives in Florida, and he's wearing a cape?! Puh-lease. Dumb.
@Vamchoir – When I say "Vampire", I'm referring to those voice(s) we all have in our head that suck the awesomeness out of you. I shoulda made sure to say that to begin with! But your Vampire is awesome, too.
