sharing life through words
Hello.
We have created this journal in the hope you might share your fiction. The idea is to take time each day to write.
Feel free to offer anything, be it an on-going story, a short piece of fiction, a poem, a riddle, or whatever takes your fancy.
Some days we might offer prompt words, ideas or directions, which you can employ or ignore. This is simply to encourage more writing, more criticism, and more of a word-based community.
Anything you want to see posted should be sent to the email link posted on this page; this account will be checked for submissions twice a day and then posted as soon as possible.
In your email, please specifiy the following:
- whether you want your writing to be posted publicly or privately (note: if you choose to write privately, the group name and password will be emailed to you)
- if your writing is a stand alone piece or part of a bigger project, to be posted in segments
- whether you would like a link posted to your blog or website.
CAUTIONARY NOTE: Please treat others and their stories as you would like to be treated. Constructive and respectful criticism is appreciated, as are comments praising a person's writing.
We hope you feel like joining in. It really is as easy as:
(1) write your words
(2) email them via the email link on this page
(3) comment on posted stories
(4) repeat above.
Happy writing!

Belated Flash Friday Fiction, by Shennanigans
Better late than never - the prompt for Flash Fiction Friday at WordWebbings this past Friday, "All he needs now is a pair of ski goggles and a goosedown jacket."
Ah heck, I had to give this one a try!
Los Angeles and fashion - depending on where in the city a person is, what circles the person keeps, and what a person truly considers as 'fashionable', the term "fashion" must be used loosely in the seedy hotbed of year-round sunshine.
When it is eighty degrees and there are people walking along Melrose Ave and Sunset Blvd in cut-off shorts, halter tops, and Uggs, one must realize that something is dreadfully wrong.
Even back in the days when fashion and etiquette went hand in hand and had strict rules governing when white shoes were appropriate during the year and when open toe shoes and sandals could be worn with specifically designated outfits, it is doubtful that Uggs would have received a blessing to be worn all year, let alone with any attire.
If Angelinos need Uggs in eighty degree weather, what they must need now that the weather is turning to a *frosty* seventy is a pair of ski goggles and a goosedown jacket. Heh, maybe they will be donned with a bikini top and a pair of flip-flops!
Perhaps the 'fashionistas' hanging out in the City of Angels will open their eyes and realize that "fashion" still has rules - the first being that winter clothing has no proper place in temps above fifty (even sixty if the limits have to be pushed); the second, and perhaps most important, is that something does not become fashionable simply because it is worn on the streets of Los Angeles or because everyone is doing it...what makes something fashionable is the right material used to create a functional piece of clothing (or eccentric if the runways are used to gauge the idea of fashion), accessorized properly, and put together to be worn during the correct season.
Angelinos - unless you are going skiing, or are planning to visit central Europe or your own Midwest in the Fall or Winter, please, leave the ski goggles and goosedown jackets to those that know how and when to wear them.
As for your Uggs? Keep them in your closet AT LEAST until the weather drops to sixty two days in a row; but please, consider keeping them in the closet a bit longer - you know, until it is cold enough that you have to wear pants!
