Nice, Shelley. Really like both of those.

So much good news -- well done, all!


My W1S1 Week6 story "Grandpa's Bluetooth" is up today @ Liquid Imagination, and you can read it here if you're so inclined.


Kind of a surreal experience hearing a total stranger read my work, but the guy sounds pretty good doing it!

@Lillie and Aggy--Thanks so much!

@Milo--Great story! You and I must have visited the same nursing homes, because you described a couple I'm familiar with quite well. Love the Bluetooth twist. I enjoyed it!

Shelley

Thanks for reading, Shelley.

Wow, your poem sure packs a punch -- so vivid. And as far as the "Lament" goes... I actually feel something for ol' Rumpelstiltskin. Nice work!

Good job, everyone. Keep em coming!

Awesome!!!

The new issue of Niteblade went up today with my poem "Propaganda" in it. In fact, the issue is named for it with awesome matching cover art, so I'm blown over. I love Niteblade, so this is quite a thrill.

Loved it. Short, but extremely enjoyable.

Great writing and last line; amusing and even, by the end, unsettling.

Reading and bookmarking for future reading (soon, I promise!) everyone's new stuff made me realize I never mentioned when my Cuento twitter story went up. It's one or two done here, the one from the 24th that's right above my bio.

Congratulations!

That's a sad story. Grandpa doesn't say much, but he leaves an impression.

I don't know if I really understand twitter stories. They seem a bit like Haikus. I don't know if I understand them either.

I think I liked it though. And congratulations!

It's clever. Fitting so much into such a few words. Is there a word limit on them?

Not a word limit. A letter/character limit. 140. Pretty tight fit, but fun if you get one that works.

Good stories, thank you for sharing.

Characters? Wow.

I have to say I looked at someone's twitter page once, and decided I had no idea what it was all about. I seemed to be looking at one half of a conversation and I couldn't find the other half. So I've studiously avoided anything with 'twitter' in it since then.

140 characters... That's a challenge!
Thanks for the info

It's been a lot of fun reading everyone's stories. Keep 'em coming!

Heh. Same here! I find Twitter really confusing. I signed up (okay, I signed up *two different times*), but I still don't really go there and find it confusing....

Mini braggage, but I'm just happy I finally get to post in this thread! My story 'The Captain's Chair' (which a few of you provided crits on, thank you!) is now up at Postcard Shorts

Thanks

It was indeed, hadn't even thought of that!

Woot! I'll crack out the cookies.
