Inspiration Monday: Mortal Water

  By

Don’t you hate it when someone calls you from a survey group with a deceptively non-partisan name like “National Research,” convinces you they really do need your opinion because you’re not a retired grandparent like most of their respondents, and then asks you a bunch of rather biased questions?

I probably answered most of their questions the same way a retired grandparent would anyway. Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

And you can have even more fun with this weeks InMonster offerings:

Inspiration Monday: Brain Bleach

  By

I was opening Evernote to jot down today’s title prompt when I discovered I had already written it there! It was an eerie, glitch-in-the-Matrix type feeling. So weird.

Another short week but the work is so good! Enjoy:

Inspiration Monday: First Think in the Morning

  By

I finished Before the Golden Age – that Asimov-compiled 1930s sci-fi anthology I told y’all about. Long, but great read. I feel much more educated about my genre now.

And I’m regretting that I didn’t by the Golden Age anthologies that were there at the same library book sale…why, why, why??? A guy actually picked one up and was like “Here, here’s another one in the series,” and I was like “No, it’s okay; one’s enough.”

What was wrong with me???

After tsking in my general direction, go enjoy some InMonster magic:
