Yes, I really do have a question and announcement. The question was prompted by Danielle. This questions is for those of you who read my last post. As my sister jumped over me, she yelled “DOGPILE!” Now, Danielle did not know what a dog pile was. So I’m collecting a survey here. Do you know what a dogpile is?

And to my announcement. I am going to be disappearing under great amounts of planning and outlining because I am about to begin two Great and Dramatic Undertakings. Actually, only one. I’m putting one for a while. There is no way I want to work on two Great and Dramatic Undertakings. Well, one undertaking is remaining a secret to all. Undertaking number two… Well, let’s just say that despite all my work. Collision as a novel goes flop. But Collision as three novels…. Like I said, Great and Dramatic Undertaking.

Ummmmmmmm, wow. I prompted a pole with my Northern ignorance :P See what Jess neglects to mention is that I actually think saying “Dog pile” is something native to only her state. Which is kind of bogus but that’s my theory :D

COLLISION IN THREE?!?! S’plain por favor!

How can you not know what a dog pile is?

Do elaborate on the Collision In Three idea.

and as to a dogpile, well I think I’ve heard of it, but that’s probably because I heard it in your video, so! :P

I know what a dogpile is… but we sometimes call it a monkey-pile.

It is very annoying that you guys are all saying you know what it means but you are not enlightening us, so we can claim that we knew it all along. ;)

( a dogpile is where one person jumps on top of another, and tons more people jump overtop. sometimes crushing the person on the bottom.)

I’m going to be perfectly honest –

Dogpile? Huh?

When I hear someone say “dogpile” I automatically think “Someone go get a shovel and grocery bag.”
Is that a little weird?

It’s not weird, Faith. It’s you. ;)
