THE COOKIE BANDIT IS RIGHT HERE!!!
Finished writer's critique group today, and for once I did NOT feel like an imposter! So that's an excellent way to start the day.
20 days to get a comp entry in, right? Sigh. I promise to read all of them, but not before I get an idea - I almost slole Larry's by accident!
The rest of today: edit the geese story. Grill. Watch the Mets double header (playing the hapless Pirates). Roland, sorry about your Cubbies. They lost 11 in a row and look to be on the cusp of a fire sale. I'm guessing we'll end up with Bryant. And his contract.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Coffee please. And ALL THE COOKIES! HAHAHAHAHHA!!! (That was a maniacal laugh.)

Got to the end of the geese story! The thugs end up plucking the protagonist's eyes out! That'll teach him!
Didn't sleep well. Very tired. Editing day today, thank God, so I don't have to bash out 900 words,
Grilling sausage and peppers and corn on the cob tonight. Yum!
No big plans for the weekend. We always say we're going to the movies, but we always end up blowing it off. Quiet Place is still playing, so maybe....
Mets got rained out AGAIN! Double header on Saturday, their 10th of the year. Alas.
Coffee and a handful of cookies please!

This one has robotic geese. Really.
How much worse than the real thing can they possibly be? (Unpatriotic Canadian aside: Canada Geese are the more horrible nuisance animals alive.)
Pro tip: as horrible as they are, it's nearly impossible to make a flock of robot geese scary.
Lazy day, and I'm slightly irritable. My goal today is to finish this damn story. And to figure out how to make the geese scary.
My youngest is coming over later to give Talia and I FRESH HOMEMADE CANOLLIS!!! That, i suspect, will brighten my mood.
As for voting, I just write the damn things. I care about comments, as does everyone, but I don't care about the view or vote numbers.
It's too late for coffee. I'll leave out a plate of my daughter's canollis though.
ACTUAL CANOLLIS---->

So I started rewatching The Larry Sanders Show.
I missed it on its first run, but I used to watch it on Bravo, back when Bravo was a thing. Actually, I once had a shoulder operation (rotator cuff) and lay in bed for weeks, and the highlight of the day was two Larry Sanders episodes, back to back, at noon. I clung to them like a drowning man clinging to a life preserver. Great show.
It's so weird watching it again - the cultural references are SO old (Dan Quayle jokes!?) and the celebrities are so young, and from another era. It's like stepping into a time machine. And it's so cynical, almost mean-spirited. Also very funny. And the celebrity sightings are so trippy.
I don't know that I'll re-binge the entire thing, but I might.

Good morning. The place is looking nice and clean. Fresh coffee is here for your pleasure, as is the teakettle.
Nice day outside. It is perfect weather. Not hot at all. I expect it will get much hotter later, however.
You folks all take care, ya hear?
Thanks for the coffee Larry. Have you seen this play? He jumps while already in mid-air! MVP year for him.
Ping, Ping, Ping, you best be careful, gasoline on little Ping (ew - my eyes! MY EYES!) might be a withering experience. I look forward to tales of you Then-Came-Bronson-ing your way about North America. We have a comfy couch. And coyotes.
Talia working at physical work again. And there's a DOUBLE HEADER! Me and the cats are gonna get into double trouble. It's gonna be like Cat in the Hat around here! "Now! Now! Have no fear. Have no fear!” said the cat / My tricks are not bad, said the Cat in the Hat!"
She returning to physical work in late August. Wah.
Finishing off a new story today. More subversive suburban horror. This one has robotic geese. Really.
Coffee and a few cookies would be a thrill!

Anyone use Audacity for adding audio to a story? I have. Used this stuff. Now look what it does. Bad company. Bad.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/audacity-is-being-called-spyware-after-privacy-policy-update
There is something called, Storiespace - note there is only one ‘s’ in the middle. It is adware.

Rump, hugs and understanding sent your way. Darkness is dancing demon of deception. Sometimes we need to ignore the sock hop rules and wear steel-toed boots.

First nipples, now four letter words with self-censoring asterick letter replacements. Oh that verbs. Shame. Shame. Shame.
I mention this, or rather quote that, because my son and I are rewatching GoT. Well, I’m rewatching it. We are nearing the end of season five where Cersei does her nudy walk of shame. Just a few days ago, we were watching The Family Guy and in that episode, Peter did his naked walk of shame. I knew we were close to that scene in GoT, so I didn’t mention the connection. I’m hoping for a lovely déjà vu reaction. He blushes when he sees boobies. I’m loving’ it! Funny thing, watching GoT with him has bridged so many topics of discussion. GoT has been an excellent vehicle to discuss what is appropriate, inappropriate, and absolutely wrong, in addition to all the complicated grey zones of life, relationships, and society. Who freakin’ knew?
Stick ‘em with the pointy end.

Cold caffeine brew for the road, please.
I've used Audacity a TON, and thought it was a great piece of software. It's open source! Or was. They are grabbing "data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities' requests (if any)." Too bad.
I still have read no comp entries, and still have no idea of my own. Or rather, I've discarded the first two ideas.
Mets are still holding a 4 game lead - the worst first place record in baseball. Boy, the NL West is strong this year. I'm picking the third place Padres over the Dodgers.
Got my contract emailed to me for the short story yesterday! Signing and sending off today!
Time to write. Coffee and a comet cookie please!

It's another Moanday mourning inside the hallowed walls of Inspirations. The coffee pot has been prepared in an approved manner as has the tea kettle. You'll have to trust me on all that and the source for the coffee and water.
What Ping posted yesterday about voting and commenting I agree with, approximately 100%. For me, the voting scale runs: Five: okay, Four, may need work. Beyond that, 3 through 1 just don't exist. If a story deserves a vote that low, odds are I've stopped reading it long before finishing the poor thing.
And in closing, please accept my apologies for not keeping up with recent SS stories. It's nothing personal, honest. Not sure why I'm now that way, probably depression, but there it is. Sorry.
With a filled coffee mug in one hand and a bunch of Sarah's cookies in the other, I'll slink over to the corner table to wonder if everyone had a good 4th of July weekend
Later, Inspirators..
Sorry to hear about the depression, Bill. I've certainly been there. I know my reading (and writing) kind of ebbs and flows with my mood. I'm sure you'll be back reading eventually, and if you don't, we still have you here slinging coffee, keeping us happy and caffeinated.
Comments are important to me, but I pay no attention to scores. At the "other" site there are always a few commentless 4s tacked onto a story of mine, I just assumed someone read it and didn't love it. 1s might be a deliberate downvote for selfish reasons, but 4s seem perfectly legit to me. That said, I only give out 5s. If I don't like a story I just won't score it.
Lazy day today. The 4th was fun, if low key. We have been threatening to go see a movie for weeks, this might be the day.
A coffee and eight cookies please - one of each planet. F*ck Pluto. (I hope we're allowed to swear here.)

Had a glorious beginning to the 4th, and even got a little yard work done until this torrential rain we're currently experiencing. So I will watch the Yankees/Mets game until the skies clear (5-4 Yankees in the 6th). Then, grilling steak and fish before chilling on the back porch, watching fireworks. Talia's sopapilla cheesecake for dessert!
I like the fourth, though like Roland I can live without the fireworks. I like that it tends to revolve around grilling and being outside and hanging with friends and family. And it's important to remember that freedom is rarely free.
Have an excellent weekend everyone!
EDIT: Mets just tied it up!!!
Still raining.

Don't leave us hanging! What movie did you rate a 10?
The only movie I have ever rated a 10.0 is a movie most people have never heard of, 'The Man of Earth.' It is a small independent film written by Jerome Bixby, who died in 1998. His son, Emerson, brought together a group of well-known co-star type of actors to film it in 2007 on a $200,000 budget over six days. It won a Saturn award that year and several other awards at various film festivals. It had a very limited release and was then released on DVD in 2007.
Its ratings are high on most sites, but due to its static nature and religious connotations, it did receive some low votes. It was filmed in and around a single rural house. Much as '12 Angry Men' was filmed in two rooms during a jury's deliberation.
IMDb's summary is, 'An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine.'
I highly recommend it as my all-time favorite movie. I believe it is currently on Hulu for free.
Wow, that got really good scores on Rotten Tomatoes! It looks good. My favorite quote: "I can give you the ten commandments in ten words: Don't. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't."
I am fading on the Falcon/Winter Snowman thing. It's good, it's just not grabbing me. Still loving Loki.

Happy TGIF wishes along with pre Fourth of Julys salutes to all, especially those who plan on celebrating both events.
ET, don't call home, much less 911. The bars liquor license has come under official scrutiny. Apparently there's some question of its validity since it was issued by the Toad Suck Arkansas village council. Stay tuned.
Coffee's on and the tea kettle is doing its thing. Don't worry about the sources of the coffee and water. With enough of Sarah's cookies within easy reach, both coffee and tea should prove most potable.
BTW, y'all be nice to old Jeff. His beloved Mets wasted a 14 strikeout night by their stud young pitcher to lose to Sarah's Atlanta Braves.
Later, Inspirators.
Yes, that was quite the ugly loss. That two game lead gets slimmer and slimmer. Too much going on this weekend to watch any baseball, but we are playing the dreaded Yankees, so I will pop my head into the scores once or twice.
I guess virtual liquor is frowned upon. My apologies for polluting the delicate minds of Stories Space. I was looking to sip on some of Ping's limoncello.
Coffee please.

Cats are back. We are back. Everyone is fine.
Roland, how is Jefferson NOT on that list?
I know nothing of the Princess Di statue controversy, Pings, but I will say a) Di seemed like a sweet person, and b) that's a pretty terrible statue.
deGrom on the mound tonight. The Mets may be beginning their annual swoon to last place, but we still get to watch deGrom every five days.
I've abandoned my first idea for the comp. This is why I never enter them: I overthink the story when I do.
We have a liquor licence? I'd love a beer. The game's in an hour, let's get a tailgate party going!

Quote by Mendalla
Working my way through Godzilla Singular Point on Netflix. It's an anime that seriously reimagines the whole Japanese monsterverse. Rodan, in particular, gets a major makeover, becoming a species of large pterosaur instead of single giant bird (no spoiler there, this comes out right in the first episode). Huge flocks of them attack major cities all over the planet. I am generally enjoying it, though there is an odd amount of expository material building up a weird science origin for the monsters. The art work is a big strange, with the humans being rather typical cartoonish anime figures while the monsters, especially the rodans, are more artistically drawn. And there's nice little Easter eggs here and there for anime and kaiju fans (e.g. the look of a Mcguffin in this series is modelled on the Oxygen Destroyer from the Godzilla movies).
How have I not seen this? I'm actually pretty ignorant of the anime flavors of Godzilla, other than Shin Godzilla. I'll jump into this.
Watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It's okay, but after the explosion of creativity with Loki and Wandavision and even Spiderman: Into the Multiverse, Winter Soldier seems a little lackluster.

PUMMELLED! DESTROYED! DECIMATED! Sara's Braves put the Big Hurt on the Mets last night, 20-2. Yikes. At least since I watched it on delay I could skip through all the bloodbath. And the Nats are on a roll - only 2 games back, Elizabeth. Larry's Padre's are hanging tough in the West.
AND...it's Bobby Bonilla Day, the day the Mets pay Bobby a million dollars for his ridiculous mid-90s contract, every July 1st from 2011 until 2035. Sigh.
Taking the cats to the vet today, meaning the annual scramble of getting them all herded up and inside the cat carriers. And since they only let in one owner at a time, sit and read in the car (actually I'm looking forward to that part) until Talia and they return.
Another summer sun and thunderstorm day. I love this state.
Time to write. Coffee please, and a cookie!

Larry's Padres have won 9 out of 10. Tatis just might be MVP. Him or Schwarber or deGrom.
Roland, good to hear your wife is entering. I see Larry has an entry up. I'm gonna wait until mine is written to read any entries - I have a rough outline.
Man, nice sweets! And since I'm back to my fighting weight (I've lost weight since moving in with Talia), I'll take one of everything. Hey Sara, can I make another request? Space cookies! Planets and stars and comets!
Talia is at actual work today, so the cats and I are gonna get into some TROUBLE!

Watched baseball again. At least we finally won after two loses to Miami.
Weather was just hot and humid but okay. Rain is probably on it's way soon.
You've won 7 out of the last 10! We are playing each other in a one-game make-up today. I'll be listening during my walk this evening. The Mets finished their 3 double headers in a week, and are starting to get some injured guys back, so the schedule shouldn't be so daunting this week.
Good to see you hear again, Verity, and you're so prolific! I'll give yours a read soon - I gotta nail down what I'm gonna write for the comp first.
Sara - cookie requests!? How about pencils and pens and typewriters and letters?
Chill weekend. Repotted the tomato and the basil (his name is Basil), built the last bookcase, watched all of Loki so far (great show).

It is morning on the plains and we got up late this morning. It has been raining on and off, with some stormes yesterday, all night, and continuing today. As everyone knows, Victor dislikes the rain, but we were able to get our duty fulfilled this morning.
I have the coffee brewing at this moment. Water is hot in the teakettle. We will be all set up quite soon.
Only one contest entry. Come, Inspirators, let's get those stories done. Miss Verity could simply win by default.
I'll be in, but it'll be a later entry - I'm just a slow writer.
We are replanting our little tomato and peppers plants today. They've been in a temporary plastic pot, getting strong, but today is the day to make the big move. Even the plants seem excited.
Watched about a million hours of baseball yesterday. Talia was really tired, went to bed early, so I cued up the Mets double-header and didn't move for 5 hours. The result? One win, one loss.

Quote by elizabethblack
Oh, forgot - the Nationals are currently doing very well. Played 2 games against the Phillies and both were nail biters, but we won them both. Todays game was so close that one of our outfielders was hit in the mouth and bleeding and they had no one left but an alternate catcher to replace him. So they left him in bleeding. But he ended up catching the fly ball that ended the game and gave us the win. Wow.
Now off to the Marlins. AND then the makeup game against the dreaded Mets.
The Nats woke up last week! I think the NL East is gonna turn into a tight threeway (heh) race: Nats, Mets. Braves. I love this time of year, when the blush is off the season and it's the long 162 game slog that decides who wins.
No game tonight though. My evening: assembling the bookshelf. Luckily, I love that crap.
If I may be allowed to crow a tiny bit: I sold a story I REALLY like to Dark Moon Digest - it'll be out next month. AND a story I wrote a year ago is going to be reprinted in an anthology. I'd sold nothing all year long, and then BOOM! two in one week.
Talia says hi. She's wearing her lil Friends tee shirt now. She looks SO cute!

Talia is physically at work again. Sigh. Just me and the cats.
I have an idea for the comp. Don't know if it's a good idea or not. I'll try to flesh it out during my walk today.
Not much going on. The Mets have so many injuries right now they are literally calling up new guys from AAA to pitch every day. Still in first place, but not, I fear, for long.
The Supreme Court just decided that teenagers can drop the f-bomb on Tik Tok. Works for me.

I am still stunned. Stunned, I say. The Nats beat the Mets 3 out of 4 games in the series. I must not scream and jump around, but this was a real baseball game today with so much excitement. It may even move us from the bottom of the standings (for a short while).
Your Nats REALLY pummelled my boys this weekend! And they have to play a double header today! Elizabeth, I think the Nats are finally beginning to wake up! Only 5 games out of first!

Not that I can write micros for sh1t, ut I'd agree with Verity that the last line is the place to start. Good micros seem to all be really tightly structured: plot, plot, plot. You gotta know what you're gonna do before you get in.
Flash--which I like to think I'm pretty good at--are a different beast. The key, for me, is finding a tiny plot point, a small change in a character's attitude or situation, and focus entirely on it. If the plot of a novel goes from A to Z, the plot of a flash is from A to B - just one small step.

Scott, good luck on the micro thing - I think writing micros would GIVE me writer's block, since I find them so frustrating. I did find writing a flash a week, writing the Shards--anyone remember the Shards anymore?--and it really got me into a good rhythm. But I couldn't do it with micros.
