Happy...... Pi Day!!! 3.14  And a HUGE thanks to the The StoryMistress  for these awesome new emoticons to go with the day!    Love, love, love these!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys some ! |
| Do you constantly have little storylines popping into your head? My days go by and there are too many to count. Want to know what I do with some of them? I pop over to this nifty challenge and put them to good use!
Be sure to read the guidelines before you start! Please keep in mind:  300 (you read that right!) words or LESS. Follow the daily PROMPT listed in the forum.  No poetry. No really sad stuff or anything that involves harm to children or pets. Please and thank you! No fan fiction. All new stuff. Must contain: a setting, at least (1) character, a conflict and a resolution This contest helps satisfy some of those 'need to get it out of my head' moments and also helps break writer's block for me at times. Hope to see you there with your entries! |
| I love bopping around WDC to try and find new things and am especially happy to find a new activity! Back in December, I found this one:
It is not your ordinary short story contest! I urge you to head over and read through how the contest came to be.  Here's the gist:  Each month a list of short story TITLES are listed. Pick one of the titles and write your story. The really interesting thing is that even if several people choose the same title, their stories will all end up being unique! Head on over and check it out! |
| Love this contest! |
Reply| I've added a new entry to my book, "Journal/Blog" : "Music and Emotion" |
| As I read your post I could almost feel your love and pride in your family. How wonderful it must be to live in your home which is filled with music. I don't think there is a better gift you can give a child than the gift of music and by providing the instruments and the lessons you have given them that gift. |
It's the beginning of a new month! If you are looking for a contest to enter, please consider this one.

| Happy Friday everyone! I completed an entry in my blog: "Some Things Suck More Before 5:00am" I love writing in my blog, but today is specifically for participation in the "26 Paychecks " activity. 26 Paychecks is going great! I encourage anyone who hasn't yet (or in a long time) participated in an activity to seek one out and jump right in!  Have a great weekend! |
Ðåvê R¥åñ  - Shhh... it's a conspiracy to have the 5am even exist. I think it goes against the natural order of things, but for some forsaken reason it's still out there... waiting. Every. Darned. Day.  I blame the aliens. |
| Did we all remember? If you have to run, take off the high heels. When running, do not go upstairs or into the basement (seriously...?) We have two more left this year. One in March and one in November. Regardless, happy Friday everybody! |
