Inspiration Monday: Noise Mirage

  By

This week in the InMon jungle: I bought a doorbell that plays amusing music. While at Super Walmart buying said doorbell, I saw a guy in a business suit. A business suit. In Walmart. I can only assume he wandered in accidentally while checking stock prices on his very expensive phone and was in the middle of housewares before he knew what he was about. Last I saw him, he had a new appliance under his arm and was looking perplexed and a little desperate. Poor, well-dressed man. I hope he made it out.

In other news, couple more weeks until we switch to once monthly prompts (first week of February). And now for our top stories.

Inspiration Monday: Puppet Army

  By

This week on InMon Island: Netflix’s Series of Unfortunate Events is fantastic. I’m only three episodes in, but it’s fantastic. So much more of the books than the movie had. Watch it. I mean don’t. So depressing. 🙂

In other news, as a reminder: Weekly prompts continue this month, and switch to monthly in February. Why am I getting nostalgic? Why??? I’m not going away.

Inspiration Monday: Heliopause

  By

This (three) weeks in the InMon sneeze factory: A cold that doesn’t want to go away and a lot of missed fun, but I seem to be coming out of it. Thank you all for your well-wishes!

The news is that after January, I’m going to be scaling back a bit on InMon and only posting new prompts on the first Monday of each month. You are all imaginative writers and I know your writing won’t suffer for my absence. 😉 Plus this will give me just a little extra time to pursue things like getting published and drafting my second novel. I know as fellow busy writers, you’ll understand.

And now for our top stories! So many thanks to the extra time. 🙂
