Flash Friday: Envy and Abhorrence, the most delectable of all dishes

6DecemberSuzanne2 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

A partly recycled Flash Friday, pulled forward through time from a piece I wrote years ago. 🙂 I lay quietly under the table; just watching.Â Missus had been so sad since Rusty, the old tom, died.Â I was willing to give this new thing a chance.Â But she didn’t look promising. Vanilla IceÂ was just beyond

To Boldly Go Where You Scarce Dare To Go

27NovemberSuzanne7 CommentsTween the Weekend, Writing

Writing is challenging enough–sharing your writing with others can be enough to turn a bold, confident individual into a gibbering ball of fear hiding under their desk. Â And yet, it’s what we all want to do! Â In the middle school writing club I lead each week, I’m reminded of this as the student writers gathered

Flash Friday: Showing Someone Trapped or Puzzled

22NovemberSuzanne9 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

I’d like to start with an apology to A. A. Milne and the boy Christopher Robin. Â What I’ve done with their beloved characters borders on sacrilege….which may be part of why I found it so amusing! That, and perhaps because I also have a head stuffed with fluff today, or something a little more like

Flash Friday–For the Love of Dentist

15NovemberSuzanne14 CommentsFlash Friday, Just for Laughs, Writing

So I’m cheating just a bit and jumping off my own assigned Flash topic, found here. Â You see, my dentist sent me a bill asking me to pay $400 for a crown I don’t have yet. Â I’m supposed to have it–they did the crown prep two+ months ago, but I’ve been busy and putting off

Flash Friday–The Loud Librarian

8NovemberSuzanne37 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

I’ve always loved libraries–I think as a child they were my favorite places to visit.Â And while that may say all kinds of things about the pace of my childhood, I still find myself going to the library more than any place but home.Â I’ve even thought that if I couldn’t be a writer, my

Funny Friday will be Faceplanting…and morphing into Flash Friday

25OctoberSuzanne9 CommentsFlash Friday, Writing

If you’re a regular of the blog (I know there’s at least one or twoÂ of you!) I’m sure you noticed that last Friday we didn’t get a Funny Faceoff…and we won’t be having anymore.Â As it happened, last week I read a postÂ by the fabulousÂ Roni Loren, who dealt with a copyright suit after sharing a

First there’s the obvious reason–’cause we rock!Â Then there’s our tireless (I swear, she really doesn’t appear to have a ‘tired’ setting!)

I’ve been Pig-napped

Ever wondered how famous old-time authors got so much written, despiteÂ having noÂ computer?Â Ever wantedÂ to boost your own productivity?Â I recommend pig-napping, aka, being held hostage by the pigs. Over the last week as they honed their ability to escape (and we attempted more desperate means of keeping them in) I’ve discovered two things: First, that
