Time to warm up the brain again with another 100 Word Challenge. Here goes: The sound of the rushing water was an evocative background as the River Guide addressed his brood of travelers. Dark storm clouds on the horizon promised an untoward shift in the journey plans. The air was thick with warning. With a […]
I need to stretch my brain. As I embrace writing this book, my mind is absorbed not only by the words that need to actually relay the story, but the world that is slowly developing as the backdrop to the story. Even the simplest of stories has its background. So I post here and on my other […]
I had this crazy thought the other day! Of course anyone who has met me, or taken a peek at my blogs, may not actually be too surprised by this concept. I am just one bundle of crazy thoughts.

I was thinking when I woke up this morning. Or perhaps this one was cogitating when he arose this dawn. And what was all the cerebrating about? Word play. Or maybe it was phrase utilization. It is that time in the challenge for the S post. But what should I announce in the contest for the 19th […]
It all started when somebody stepped on a butterfly. Why did the lightbulb cross the road? Because the chicken had a bright idea. Vote NO on Question 2!
