Sorry I’m late, folks. My Internet was down last night, as was/is the Internet of many others, apparently. For a few minutes, I sat in front of my computer wondering if this was how the apocalypse would begin. Then I went to bed early. I think I have another cold.

The Rules

There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.

OR

No really; I need rules!

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

The Prompts:

this is how it starts

written in code

smother

off again

voiceless

Today I gave my nose a paper cut with a napkin. Seriously?

Fortunately, I’m not in the habit of snorting lemon juice.

Oh look! Cool stuff to read! Including some new faces!

Happy new year! I’m not making any resolutions – I never feel ambitious enough after the craziness of the holidays. January is like recuperation. Maybe I’ll make a resolution in February, haha. How about y’all?

How about resolving to read all the InMon pieces, every week! I promise it’ll be rewarding! You can start now!

Merry Christmas! InMon’s coming early today – it’s Christmas Eve, after all, I’ve still got another batch of fudge and a cheese ball to make, plus parties and deliveries and relatives and the like to prepare for. But, um. It’s six o’clock somewhere?

Oh yeah – I finally made gingerbread men yesterday.

That’s a lemon glaze with green food coloring drizzled on top. I didn’t feel like going the whole nine yards decorating them.

If there are any other InMon pieces I missed (like ones you post in the next few hours), I’ll try to get to them later today, but it might not be for a few days. Sorry! Have a great Christmas –
