Inspiration Monday: the echo before the cry

Lately a few of you have expressed worry about being late with your InMon entries. Quit worrying! You have an entire week to post them if you want me to link to you in the next prompt post, and even if you’re a couple of days late, I’ll link to you in the following week’s prompt post (in fact I might not even notice that the prompt you are using was “supposed” to be last week; I get the weeks mixed up and I’m not that strict anyway).

Oh, also…next week is the one-year anniversary of Inspiration Monday! I’m not sure what to do about it…it kinda snuck up on me. I’ll try to work up a little recap of the year, eh?

Now read!

Inspiration Monday: pretend you don’t notice

Inspiration Monday: try not to scream

I count myself among the very blessed, in that I worked nearly 11 hours today and still had fun. Three cheers for enjoyable jobs!

And three cheers for this week’s InMonsters!

Inspiration Monday: the noise of ideas

Did anyone else notice I totally misspelled “traveling” last week? I didn’t even notice until a few days later when I just looked at it and thought, that doesn’t look right, does it? Are there really two ‘l’s in that word? Of course, I’ve changed it by now, but I thought I’d better admit my error as a warning. This is what comes from lack of sleep, people–get your 8 hours!

In other news, Lynnette suggested I create an “InMonster” badge (a term LovetheBadGuy coined first) and I did! Here it is! Hope you like it! Hopefully I’ll make a couple of other versions eventually.

Now read some amazing work!

Inspiration Monday: traveling by balloon

Today I looked up from my computer to see a three-foot inflatable shark with a mechanical tail floating by my door, soon followed by a highly amused art director, who was manipulating switches on a remote control. Ah, life in advertising. Only slightly less fascinating than the following stories:
