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.

Alright, me hearties, if it please you to take a finer challenge upon yourselves, look no further than this special edition of Inspiration Monday, whereupon if you wish to limit yourself to writing only 50 words, you are welcome to do so.

But, as always, the rules are only rules if you wish them to be. There is no spoon.

But look, there are InMonsters!

Inspiration Monday: Cost of Living

  By

I love re-watching my favorite movies and shows with people who haven’t seen them before – it’s like I get to experience them for the first time again.

But you can experience something for the first time, right now! Several things!
