I really wouldn't do this with my company logo in the background.

"Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "life"
It means forever, and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else:
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night"

I sincerely hope he's there.

Also, this is adorable.

God damn it, internet! Stop reminding me of my poor old Daisy.

The #jade statue was desired by many. It was said to be in the shape of an egg and whatever was carved into it was brought into the world. After it was bought, barter, or stolen, it restored itself to an egg, and the process began again. Only those who lost it knew its curse. #vss365 #flashfiction

Did you know that in the '50s and '60s banks created promotional materials (including TV and film ads) that instructed people on how NOT to get into catastrophic levels of debt?

This is why you should follow @merriam-webster.com. They do shit like this ALL THE TIME.

A "Little Free Library" filled with only Merriam-Webster Dictionaries

Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.

But that may be because I live in the States.

I think what hit hardest was that the President is a professional wrestler.

Everything is becoming a subscription. Believe it or not, there was a time where American was about more than just #money. I mean, yes, it's always been about money, but there was a time when there was a sense of civic duty

No more. We are a country for the rich, by the rich, who stand on the poor.

I now understand why I avoided watching Idiocracy for so many years.

Sartre's anger and hatred boiled out of him in a braying laugh. While we stood there, he laughed as if the plot was formed by his one true fat god, Luck, and was handed to him after months of frustration in having to #deal with Mitnick. #WIPSNips #amquerying #skywrite

I definitely spent more time in bookstores than in libraries as a child, but I do have very fond memories of my grandmother taking me to the library by her house!

Nowadays I use my local library as a venue for tutoring my 5th grade student, and I hope it's just as magical for him.

A color, a stone, to become weary. A evocative noun, and bitter very. What's your #jade? Let's #write. #vss365 #promptshare #flashfiction

midlife by Claire Taylor I wish I could go back hold that girl in my arms & tell her sing your off-key songs the world is deaf to the pleasures of women no one's listening anyway

41 today. Woohoo.

If you’d like to help me celebrate, consider getting a copy of my book, or if you’ve read it and liked it, recommend it to a friend, or request a copy through your library. Or just go out and be kind today and try to enjoy your Monday.

The #undersea cable had been sabotaged, breaking the last remaining communication link between the States and Europe. Everyone knew this must be prelude to a preemptive strike. If only the President had known the cable had been broken by a fishing trawler. #vss365 #flashfiction #amquerying

Undersea stones deliver their slow memories into the tide

#vss365 #monoku

It would seem my characters don't discuss #psychology. #WIPSnips

Is life better #undersea? Or is it a place filled with monsters, unknown and unseen? What's down there? Let's #write! #vss365 #writersprompt #flashfiction

The crow & the spider were renowned for their #trickery. It was the grasshopper, though, when the crow swept down upon him, that said, "I've heard the spider is wiser than you." Crow then asked, "Who said this?" "The spider," said the crow

It was then the crow flew off & a new story started #vss365

The #investiture of a new Undying Lord should have been unnecessary, but the Salt Grass Hunters had somehow killed the old one. While seemingly impossible, it did what the Hunters had hoped. The remaining necromancers began killing each other off in hopes of taking the title. #vss365 #flashfiction

That's how we do #flashfiction, am I right?

So few words have so many meanings. To transfer, infuse, enrich, or blockade. Such a bad of meanings. What's your #investiture? #vss365 #promptshare #flashfiction

The wreck rose through the #seafoam a bit at a time. First, black bits of its tires, then seat covers, then the bodies. The last thing to come up was the tiara, which the insurer had placed small, inflatable flotation devices into. It was, by far, the most valuable thing on the airplane. #vss365

My characters are absent for the #duration of this #WIPSnips

So many things come out of the sea, carried by the foam that watches up on the short. Plankton, seashells, the creatures that would one day live on land. What does your #seaafoam carry? Let's #write. #vsas365 #flashfiction #promptshare

He worked the #hammer gently against the stone, bringing out the formation hidden within for millennia. As it began to take shape, he thought it might be a former home, flattened over time, or the arches of a temple. But when he stepped back, the gargantuan footprint was unmistakable. #vss365

One of the oldest tools, used by blacksmiths, carpenters, and warriors the world over. What's your #hammer? Let's #write. #vss365 #promptshare #flashfiction

"How did you get away from Gleb?"

I smiled like we were discussing horsing around. "My girlfriend beat him up."

His eyes fluttered until they stopped in comprehension. He slapped the steering #wheel and, between laughs, said, "That's good one. He said your friends showed up." #WIPsnips #amquerying
