Inspiration Monday: The Dying Sky

  By

MAY 27 EDIT: Looking for the May 26 prompts? They’re coming tonight! Stay tuned.

I’m behind on everything else, but I DID walk 5k (I don’t run), clean out my closet, remove the harddrive from a 1996 computer, and see Taming of the Shrew under the stars over the weekend.

What did you all do over the weekend?

There’s always good reading material!

Inspiration Monday: Street Royalty

  By

J.R.R. Tolkien had the names “Beren” and “Luthien” engraved on his and his wife’s tombstone. Yes, Pinterest is educational. Unless Photoshop?

I will ponder this.

Meanwhile, read!

Inspiration Monday: Lukewarm Revenge

  By

Happy late Star Wars Day!

In other news, Redshirts is officially added to my list of Books All Writers Must Read (mental note: compile actual list of books all writers must read). Parental disclaimer: there are quite a few f-bombs and some suggestive dialogue, but OMIGOODNESS it’s brilliant. It’s like the sci-fi spoof version of Stranger Than Fiction and Inkheart put together, but also made me cry a little bit.

But it’s very unlikely there’s a copy of the book lying next to you just now, which gives you the excuse to read these other fun and/or moving pieces!

Inspiration Monday: Squandered Vision

  By

I was just shopping around for an audio book to keep me company on an upcoming drive. I looked at a couple of inspirational/historical books I’ve been meaning to read but meh. I really just wanted something fun. Then I thought of Redshirts.

I looked it up. And it is narrated by…

Will Wheaton.

Anybody know a good field of tulips? I feel like I need to be skipping through one right now.

But I’ll contain my joy and tell you to read these lovelies:

Inspiration Monday: Cardiac Arrest

  By

I watched a documentary over the weekend about the film version of Dune that was never made, but would have had Pink Floyd music, and Salvador Dali as the emperor.

It would have been awesome. I probably wouldn’t have liked it (the director, Jodorowsky, changed the ending; also, Dali refused to be in the movie unless there was a flaming giraffe in it somewhere), but it would have been awesome.

Look at all the names this week! And several who took on the 50 word challenge.
