Flash Friday: Let Sleeping Robots Lie

28FebruarySuzanne14 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

It’s a gorgeous, sunshiny day outside, but all I want is a nap. Â Fitting, then, that today’s prompt is in honor of ‘Public Sleeping Day’, whatever that is. Â So in honor of all those whose true talent is sleeping, I give you this little piece of fiction. Â You can read the robot’s letter as letters

What’s round like a bowling ball, covered in spikes, and cute enough to melt your heart?

A hedgehog, of course! Â We had one back in our college days, and he traveled with us all the way from BYU in Provo, Utah to W&L in Lexington, VA. Â We did stop for a month or so in St. Louis, MO, so he could take a short break from car rides, but I think

Flash Friday: Ode to the Toad

14FebruarySuzanne6 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

Today’s Flash Friday post was inspired by this valentine, which I put together when a certain frog came calling this past summer and found our toad statue an irresistible place to sit and sun. There’s something about the frog’s (or, more likely, toad’s) expression, as he sits on a giant statue of himself…it captured my

Flash Friday: Oh the Woes of a Sleeping Bum

This what comes from the middle school writing club having been cancelled for three weeks in a row. Â When we finally got together again yesterday and sat down to write our Flash Friday pieces…well, let’s just say, sillyness reigned and fun was had! Â I blame all of that tween energy for this piece. The topic

Flash Friday: If All Else Fails, Fake It…Then Run it Over While No One’s Looking.

Did you ever read the fable about the father, son, and their donkey on the way to market? Â It tells of how they get criticized as they walk along no matter how they arrange themselves–father riding, son riding, both riding, and finally donkey being carried. Â And in the end they slip (while carrying the donkey)

Flash Friday: Proud Parents of a Zompire

24JanuarySuzanne8 CommentsFlash Friday, Just for Laughs, Writing

Plenty of parents have noted–in the most loving way possible–that children are rather like vampires. Â They swoop down on you when least expected, prefer to stay up all night, and suck your energy dry. Â When they have the flu they’re also rather like zombies–shuffling around growling at everyone, incapable of coherent communication, and, it sometimes

Flash Friday: Cloudy with a Chance of Sneezing

17JanuarySuzanne6 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

Today is National Ditch New Years Resolutions Day, which I think is just the funniest thing in the world. Â What does that give us? Â One week to sort of keep them, one week to come to hate them, and a few days to admit they’re not happening? Â Definitely quitting well before any positive patterns in

Flash Friday: Who Needs an Ark?

10JanuarySuzanne13 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

Today’s prompt of someone all fired up and excited was pretty appropriate, given how my week is going. Â Of course, my Christmas tree is still up with a few pathetic ornaments clinging, and today was the first day we’ve seen the sink all week, but to counterweigh all that, my NinChicks revisions are almost done!

Flash Friday: Celebrating or Seeking Light

20DecemberSuzanne3 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

I’ve long believed that in another dimension or plane of existence, I worshiped the sun. Â Probably as in Ent, or rather, most likely an Ent Wife. Â In fact, that would make a great flash piece this morning, but my flitter-flutter brain is going in another direction. Â Tell me what you think, and please join me

Flash Friday the 13th, in all its egregiousness

13DecemberSuzanne11 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

I think that’s the best word to describe a Friday the 13th, and especially one in December. Â Egregious…doesn’t it roll around wonderfully in the mouth? Â And just in case your Friday portends to be egregious, here’s a picture of a pygmy possum. Â It’s sure to improve your day. 🙂 And now, on to my Flash
