A LOVE STORY

“You must be a writer,” said the email that Imee just received.  “Hmmm, did this, Jack or somebody,  even pay attention to what I wrote?  My  info was  lifted from the Bible.” She thought.   She was not very impressed, to say the least.  However, out of  charity, she typed in a polite response  to Jack.

THE AMAZING UGLY SWEATPANTS

I wrote this post following a prompt from Studio30+ which was about, you guessed it, Ugly Sweatpants. 🙂 Studio30+ is a community of writers which I stumbled when I read Jester Queen’s post, ‘Show, Don’t Tell’.   To make a story short, I signed up with Studio30+ and found Jester Queen’s post to be very helpful.  I had

ONCE IN A BUG-GY DREAM

Once upon an afternoon, in the land of shimmering leaves – and delicate yellow weeds flowers – little caterpillar Munchy napped on his little leaf bed, dreaming caterpillar dreams.
