Flash Friday: Oh the Woes of a Sleeping Bum

7FebruarySuzanne6 CommentsFlash Friday, Writingblog hop, bum, butt, chicken, flash Friday, flash piece, flash writing, funny, humor, joke, laugh

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

Hi, my name is SuperBowlMan, and I’m the reason the Broncos lost their Big Game

For at least the last fifteen years–longer, most likely–I’ve ignored the Super Bowl so thoroughly that it would come as a surprise to me when I chatted with my brother or friend and learned that today was ‘The Day’ and they’d be attending a party. Â I can’t tell you a single team that’s played in

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

31JanuarySuzanne6 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

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)

Marvelous Middle Grade Monday: The Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom

This fabulous little story is to blame for my new pet squid. Â Honest–it’s all their fault! Â If you look between the pages, you’ll see a cleverly written subliminal message telling people that they must have a squid, they can’t transcend themselves and achieve the happiness of enlightenment until they get a squid, and in fact,

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

If You Give a Chicken a Snow Cone…

22JanuarySuzanne6 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

You can expect them to want some worm-and-acorn flavor to go with it. Â Which will of course lead to your making funky brew in your backyard… While attempting to guess which pile of snow represents the purest flavors, and adjusting your snow cone recipe to accommodate the chickens’ changing taste for icy desserts… only to

Marvelous Middle Grade Monday: Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry

20JanuarySuzanne5 CommentsMarvelous Middle Grades, The Bookshelf

Cassie Logan has been a heroine of mine for some time, so it made perfect sense to me that I schedule the spotlight on Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry for today, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Of course, that gave me the excuse to pull the book out (once I tracked it down on

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

Marvelous Middle Grade Monday: As if Being 12 and 3/4…

13JanuarySuzanne7 CommentsMarvelous Middle Grades, The Bookshelf

…isn’t bad enough, my mother is running for president! Â Just had to get the rest of that in there. Â Sometimes I wonder that I bother to spotlight these books that I’m sure everyone has read…and then I remember that I just read it! lol Moreover, I loved it. Â So, what if there’s someone missing out

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!
