Excited to share with you tomorrow's Brainstoryum show!
There's personal, #writinglife stuff, urban fantasy, weird story brainstorms using a 12-sided dice, and AMAZING short fiction from @rickandwrite.bsky.social E. Dennison, P. Benfield, the mysterious "HL" and @quantumfairy.bsky.social

Menopausal murderers bumping off bad guys. And Audrey.
Thanks for your reposts, @robgotobed.bsky.social !🥰
To me, beds are just envelopes that mail you to your dreams.
Thank you, Rick. Love your story!
Can't wait to read this one out (for release next Sat, the 11th). 🤗
Up to 250. It can be an extract if you end up writing more, or it can be just a description of an idea; or a scene, or poem. Whatever comes to you!
Answer here or at annatizard.com/submit. 🤗
Hi @rickandwrite.bsky.social, hope all is well with you (and no more tonsilitis blues).
You said "hit me up", so here are the latest prompts on Brainstoryum:

Oh bless you - I hope he's okay?
Will tag you in the next writing prompt. Would be great to include you!
On the show, I mix listeners' word suggestions into sentences by pulling them out of the Socks of Destiny. Anyone can send words on my Play page. I also share publishing call-outs for shorts. 😉
P.S. I'm in the UK and have an early start, so going to bed shortly.
So plenty of time to reply - and I'll pick up on it tomorrow. 😉
Hello! The reason I asked is, I'd love to know... How might you use a tea set as weaponry?
If you'd like to describe a scene, however brief, I'd love to read it out on my Brainstoryum podcast & give you a shout-out? 🤗
But you'd have to be quite quick. I record at the weekend.
Let me know 🥰

I know dogs don't always do that with lusting,
and for you it's just um, hygenic adjusting.
But not here. Go to your bed for your justing.
(Didn't want to put this one on my wall, it's disgusting.)
had we the choice
we may have stayed stardust
not even the sorrows
nor shadows darkening
the corners of mouths
we dwell here
inside the hours
breathing before dawn
for we are weary of hate and fear

I’m a rhymer, a limerick drafter,
A chronic light-poetry crafter.
I’ve been labeled a “card,”
And called “daft,” but not “bard.”
What’s my target? Grins, giggles, and laughter.
