Inspiration Monday: The City that Always Sleeps

This month in the InMon Universe: Researched various writing competitions, read sample winners, and found most of them depressing. Then I discovered the To Hull and Back humorous writing contest. The winner’s face gets pasted on the anthology’s cover illustration of a person riding a Harley and holding a flaming quill pen. The contest creator then straps the book to the handlebars of his actual hog and rides it, you guessed it, to Hull and back, and films it all with a GoPro. The man is a genius. Bless him.

And now for our top stories!

Inspiration Monday: Noise Mirage

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

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.
