You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bouncing. Swooning and bouncing.

Nilly's coming! Bouncebouncebounce.

I had words. Gone now.

Oh! Notebooks are good for writing in cafes or hotel lobbies or other places where the laptop is not. I have loads of pretty journals, a shelf of filled ones, and at least that many more still blank. I give them away, lots. The last one I wrote in I haven't filled yet, and the first date in it was 2001.

Legal pads, on the other hand, are the bomb. Especially the ones with pastel-colored pages of heavier-weight paper that take fountain pen well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Monday morning, drabblers (at least in my part of the world), and you know what that means....

Challenge #4 is closed.

Challenge #5 is courtesy of the utterly splendid Nilly: Hands. You know the drill. Please leave your message at the beep.

Go to it.

Question: There are particular lines from a poem that have sparked/are sparking my drabble thoughts. If I quote them, are they exempt from my word count?

Hmmm. Seeing as how I'm not actually counting words and bringing the Smackdown of Drabble Accuracy, I think any outside material you quote (as an epigraph, for example) do NOT count towards word count.

Oh sure Nilly suggests the "hands" topic. . .
