Inspiration Monday: Comfortably Numb

  By

This week in the InMon Nation: Telling someone I like Pink Floyd, having someone test me by asking me to name one person in the band, naming Roger Waters uncertainly because it had been very long day and after all I can like a band without knowing all their names I mean who the heck knows the names of the Beach Boys there’s like a million of them not that I love them as much as Pink Floyd but hey there are a lot of Rogers in classic rock I mean look at Roger Daughtry, and someone telling me that isn’t one of them, and then me looking it up later, and finding out I was right all along.

Take that, guy at the range wearing a hat. Take that!

In other news, the moon is big tonight.

Inspiration Monday: Tour-de-Farce

  By

This week in InMon fields: It is raining and my dog is cabin-feverish. He weeps at my feet and refuses to join me on the couch for cuddles. In other news, absolutely nothing of importance is happening tomorrow. We can only wish.

Inspiration Monday: Trick or Retreat

  By

This week in InMon Manor: Halloween! Happy that! In other news, today I was in the break room trying to decide between a cookie with purple icing and a cookie with green icing, when my coworker swooped in. She sported a green shirt and no voice, due to a mean case of allergies. In a hoarse whisper, she told me, “I want green…to match my phlegm.”

I laughed. So hard.

Inspiration Monday: We Come in Pieces

  By

This week in the InMon Laboratory: Writing eight pages with the kind of ease that makes me think, “At this rate, I’ll have a draft within a year,” even though I know the rate never lasts. Two steps forward. In other news, sometimes I feel like I’ve used certain prompts before. But I’m too lazy to look. It’s not like they expire!
