Inspiration Monday: A Day Late

  By

Today’s title prompt was purposefully chosen. I completely forgot about InMon yesterday, between Memorial Day, a four-hour drive, and two wild dogs. Whoops. Sorry! But 24 hours late doesn’t make that much difference, right?

O see all the good things to read!

MOI and missed him last week

Inspiration Monday: The Dying Sky

  By

MAY 27 EDIT: Looking for the May 26 prompts? They’re coming tonight! Stay tuned.

I’m behind on everything else, but I DID walk 5k (I don’t run), clean out my closet, remove the harddrive from a 1996 computer, and see Taming of the Shrew under the stars over the weekend.

What did you all do over the weekend?

There’s always good reading material!

Inspiration Monday: Street Royalty

  By

J.R.R. Tolkien had the names “Beren” and “Luthien” engraved on his and his wife’s tombstone. Yes, Pinterest is educational. Unless Photoshop?

I will ponder this.

Meanwhile, read!

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:
