wondering in turning on the lights sitting in a computer chair, twirling around looking all over It's kind of quiet in here. I've been trying to write but I've been a bit distracted lately. Too many fires.

I hope the visit goes well! My daughter and her boyfriend are coming here next weekend. It's been almost a year since I've seen her. I'm excited.
In honor of me watching Godzilla (1954) here are some cookies.
I am so sorry that I have missed this. I've looked in the forums every day and still missed this. We don't count characters and that is something we need to update.
As Mendalla said, from 100 to 1000 is flash, and 1000 minimum for everything else except poetry, musing, and lyrics, they don't have the same rules. Only one is the 10k limit.
I have two kitties. One is a calico that loves to give affection but will smack you if you try to give it back. Even when she's sleeping on you, you're not allowed to touch her. The boy is a big chunky (15 pounds) tabby. He likes to be carried around like a baby while I do things around the house. They are night and day but it's good they have each other so I support getting two.
So in honor of all the kitty talk, I'll leave some cookies. Enjoy!
Good morning. I wanted to leave this here.

Quote by WriterGirl
Ape, I suspect you are maybe putting too much pressure on yourself. I found my picture first. Maybe try looking at pictures and see if an idea will stick. Then I read some folk tales to figure out voice I wanted.
Quote by Mendalla
I agree. Sometimes changing your music, at least for me, helps. Go for something dark if that's the vibe you're looking for. Change your setting. Either way, no pressure. You know once you allow yourself to let go, your creative mind will take over.
