Tag: good short stories

This month in the InMon offices: I’m a week late with prompts. Yes. I was distracted last week by the news, among other things. In other news, I will likely be rethinking InMon before the end of the year. Perhaps it needs an update, perhaps it’s time to be replaced with something else entirely. Any thoughts on the subject? Please leave a comment.

Our star storyteller this month is:

This month in the InMon gallery: So many much things happening. Except much writing. Argh. Today I did find myself researching nuclear weapons for the WIP, however. And worrying again about landing on government watch lists. In other news, a new blog post is on its way to answer a question about subplots! Stay tuned.

This month in the InMon library: Considering that I watched all of “Anne with an E” in three days, I guess I liked it, even though I frequently found reasons to shout at the screen. The internet apparently shares my passion, one way or another. In other news, I ordered three books and one has still not come and I’m irritated even though I haven’t gotten through the first one yet. #FirstWorldBookLoverProblems

This month in the InMon War Room: Three mini writing breakthroughs and a great big wall. Typical.

In other news, the director of the new A Wrinkle In Time movie posted some set photos. Oooo.  Also, my favorite web series, Platoon of Power Squadron, posted its tenth and final episode. A bunch of regular people like us, with real jobs like us, spent about eight years of their spare time making it. And it is fantastic. You can now marathon the whole series. Look past the lower film quality in the early episodes: it gets way better.
