Inspiration Monday: the noise of ideas

  By

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

  By

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:

Inspiration Monday: inconvenient death

  By

I worked late tonight, which meant there should have been very little traffic, and it should have only taken me 20-30 minutes to get home instead of 45-60. But get this: there were three accidents and two breakdowns on my way home. For the first two I was angry, by the third I was laughing, and by the fifth I was peeling my eyes hoping for a sixth. And it struck me how awful that was. My petty irritation, my eventual amusement. There were two ambulances blocking my usual exit. I hope everyone is alright. Anyway, hence today’s first prompt.

Lots of great reading last week!

I miss the stars
We had one thing in common
Where the road ends
A door in a tree

Inspiration Monday: if wishes were dragons

This week, I created a pitcher plant terrarium (which is currently undergoing stratification) and wrote part of a new scene. What did you do? Wish you had something to read? By George, I think I’ve got some!

Inspiration Monday: waking up to silence

  By

Happy New Year! Now we have to get used to writing “12.” Will the world end this year? Impossible! The second Hobbit movie won’t be out yet.

I’ve been busy with weddings, retro toys, and a ukulele. Oh, and some delightful writing! Go and read it!

*I was reflecting today on how warm and relaxed the word “balmy” makes me feel, despite the fact that it sounds like the word “bomb,” which makes me think of mushroom clouds and nuclear winter. So let’s play with it!
