Inspiration Monday: can’t stop crying

I’m guest-posting over at Raina’s home base, Writer’s Club KL,  going a bit more in-depth on a subject frequently discussed here: the power of storytelling. Check out the first installment here.

In other news, something is wrong with my comment system. Many real comments (including my own) are being shuffled into the spam folder. I’ve been checking the spam regularly to rescue them, and  I’m looking for ways to fix it. In the meantime, it may simply take awhile for your comments to appear on the site.

Okay, news over – enjoy this week’s reading!

Inspiration Monday: time is a relative

I think maybe the best days are the ones in which you are just happy for no particular reason. Of course, I have a million everyday reasons to be happy, but I don’t always feel the effects, if you know what I mean. I’ve just been in a good mood lately, and I’m so grateful for that.

I mean, look at all these amazing pieces of art people created for us to enjoy – aren’t you glad to live in a world where stuff like this happens every day? Check them out:

Inspiration Monday: lucid dream

Even when I realize I am dreaming, I can rarely think of anything cool to do in the dream. The other day I couldn’t dial my phone and realized I was dreaming, so all I did was try to wake up. Argh! What do y’all do in lucid dreams? Fly? Meet fictional characters? Or whatever random thing you can think of?

Maybe you read flash fiction. It’s never the same when you read it twice:
