To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

New "How To Succeed As A Failing Writer" column up:

True Tales of Workshop Terror.

I liked it, Victor. Found it very relatable, even if I was dumb this morning.

Because books.

All of the Pose drabbles were fantastic, especially erika's and Deb's poem.

New topic, La Tep?

Thanks, Amy Liz. I was afraid it was too "Bob doesn't want my carrots."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Sneaking one in under the wire. Porny.

There's No "i" in Pose

Pose, poise. So many different meanings, shadings, variations, ways to use them both, ways to get them confused.

Posed: me, dressed to blend with the backstage curtains, dusky velvet. Poised: Your head twisted sideways, your hands above the keyboard, waiting for the piano cue from the lead guitar.

Or posed: me, hands out, palms up and open in surrender, not moving, not breathing, the dusky velvet dress on your bedroom floor. poised: you, naked above me.

In the end? I still confuse those two words, those meanings and shadings, those imperfect memories, the two of us in time, posed, poised.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

New drabble topic!

Challenge #85 (pose[s]) is now closed.

Challenge #86 is lost and found. NB: that's one topic, inclusive -- lostandfound, if you will. Not two separate topics.

....or I could come up with a different topic?

I like it -- I'm just letting it brew a bit.

I'm still thinking... not a bad topic, just not like "write about apples" There are a couple places I could take that...
