TMI Tuesday: May 10, 2022: Wild

Write a 100 word story using the phrase “Kinky love triangle”. She knelt between the two of them. They both wanted her. She wanted them both and wasn’t able to choose between them, so she didn’t. She topped from the bottom and announced she would have them both or nothing at all. She would leaveContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: May 10, 2022: Wild”

Prompts, Words and Pictures: Poetry from Songs

Tunes as Muse: Take two of your favorite songs, and match up a line from the chorus of one with a line from the chorus of the other. Then, write a scene that starts with the first lyric, and ends with the second. I did this a bit differently. I took lines out of twoContinue reading “Prompts, Words and Pictures: Poetry from Songs”

TMI Tuesday: March 15, 2022: Writing

When you need to get serious, good writing done where do you go? The same place I always find myself… in my comfy chair. Where do you look for inspiration to write? Oh, everywhere… people around me. My memories and experiences. Movies and TV shows. Books, magazines, and newspapers. Other people’s blogs. Writing prompts, poetryContinue reading “TMI Tuesday: March 15, 2022: Writing”

Writing

Bloguarany 8 What do you like most about your writing? I wasn’t quite sure how to interpret this question. What do I like about the things I write about? Or what do I like about my ability to write? So, I’ll answer from both perspectives. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been “called” toContinue reading “Writing”

Young Writers

Illustory: Write and Illustrate a Professionally Produced Book I bought this years ago for my daughter when she was about 9. She died when she was 16 and I still have the book she wrote, illustrated, and published with this product. It’s now been 20 years since she died and I treasure this book. I’mContinue reading “Young Writers”

Things to Ponder

And we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway. Sit in the waiting room and wait in the sitting room. When you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it’s called cargo. Your nose runs and your feet smells. Why do you put suits inContinue reading “Things to Ponder”

Collage of the Day: Gothic Grief

After my daughter died, I channeled my grief into writing poetry and making collages. Because she embraced the Gothic Lifestyle, I called this one “Gothic Grief”. A very short poem that I wrote that kind of goes with this collage: O Angel Dressed In BlackPlease Bring My Baby BackShe Was A Child Of FaithOf PeaceContinue reading “Collage of the Day: Gothic Grief”

Persuasive Technology

Time magazine did an article recently about persuasive technology, which basically means “technology designed to change attitudes or behaviors of the users through persuasion and social influence…” I’ve noticed many blogs and webpage articles have jumped on the bandwagon to push this mentality. After years of studying human behavior, I’ve come to a few tentativeContinue reading “Persuasive Technology”

Apps and Docs: Applications or Appetizers, Doctors or Documents: Laziness or Dumbing Down Language?

I have a love-hate relationship with abbreviations. One of my pet peeves uses the ampersand (&) to replace the word “and” in most writing. To me, it’s the height of laziness. My daughter loved the symbol and tried to stress my opinion of it often. I just finished watching the movie “Roxanne” starring Steve MartinContinue reading “Apps and Docs: Applications or Appetizers, Doctors or Documents: Laziness or Dumbing Down Language?”

Repost of TMI Tuesday: Mixed Bag

1. Would you help pay for your own engagement ring? I didn’t get an engagement ring until after we were married for 8 years. Instead we put the money into a buying a house. My daughter in law now wears my old engagement and wedding ring. 2. Were you ever afraid to masturbate? Yes, IContinue reading “Repost of TMI Tuesday: Mixed Bag”
