Categotry Archives: Totally Random Picture
Mumbling on Monday
I had all kinds of grand ideas for what I was going to post today. I thought I’d give away my copy of The Crystal Cave (Still might. Haven’t decided), or announce my Etsy store (haven’t set it up yet). Instead, I waited until way too late at night to make a decision and am too tired to do a good job of it. So, instead, how about another random photo?
55 – Letter to a Future Self
Will you remember this moment? There have been so many that slipped through our fingers like sand, leaving nothing but residue. Will these white walls covered in loving bric-a-brac remain? Will you still have a mind left, or will you be like Algernon; reduced to drool and nothing but a vague feeling of dissatisfaction? You scare me.

55 – Victory
“So you wrote a book. Big deal. It’s not like you’ve never done it before. Are you going to earn anything from it? No. Does anyone really want to read it? Not likely. What kind of victory is that?

160 – Slowing Down

55 – Make Me Sick
I want to be viral. I want to get spread around, passed from hand to hand, talked about, viewed, spewed, forwarded, and shared. I want to be tweeted and facebooked and commented on over and over. I want to be remembered with lots of stars and returned to over, and over, and over. Make me viral, please. The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words.

A Random 13
1. I got a lot done on Monday and Tuesday last week, but this week has been rough sailing. 2. I broke my key off in the front door of the old place. 3. The Boy thinks all we have to do is take the locking mechanism out and we can get at the key part to remove it. 4. Tomorrow I’ll give that a try. 5. The new place doesn’t have a washer or dryer or dishwasher. 6. I’m […]

55 – Accidental Silence

160 – Sleeping
A kind of random picture. The pictures I have of the ocean didn’t cut it. Sometimes, when the ocean moves to a calm rhythm and peace gives the water depth I think maybe the surface is skin Monkey Man hosts the 160 Character Challenge.
