Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

PROMPTuesday #209: The Crazy

  (NOT a happy chucklehead.)   “The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis, and we’d have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads.” ~William Styron, 1958   I posted this on Facebook the other day and heaved a…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #207: Who Was Your Believer?

In February 1978, my family moved to Buffalo Grove, Illinois from Foster City, California.

PROMPTuesday #200: Beloved

Let’s keep it super simple today, and focus on one word for inspiration:   BELOVED.   Tell us about someone in your life, or that stuffed animal you couldn’t put down as a child, or your life’s passion, or whatever comes to mind when you hear the word, “beloved.”   A few caveats: 1) Keep…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #199: Recollect

I’m not giving PROMPTuesday up, by God! I almost wrote I’d be taking a hiatus, but no sir, I’m hanging onto the end with my near and dear. So in the spirit of keeping on with the keeping on, today’s creative writing prompt is:   This one time in high school…   I like the…Continue Reading

Funnest birthday/holiday celebration yesterday! Vi Funnest birthday/holiday celebration yesterday! Visited Del Mar’s shops, businesses, restaurants and bars for the Village’s annual Taste and Sip with closest pals. Highlights: learning about Mezcal at @enfuegocantina, sampling new @lalospirits tequila, catching the sunset at @monarchdelmar, amazing ceviche at @coya_peruvian_secret, and the most delicious gluten-free birthday cake from @shanjo! Recommend this for next year - was the best best most good time.
