Wednesday Words: Somersault Something

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Silver James

Today’s double theme could have gone somewhere far different than it did. For today’s #1lineWed theme, we have **SOMERSUALT** and last week’s #ThursThreads flashfiction, we add “Something’s wrong.” This is what randomly (sort of randomaly) came out of my fingertips … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Living

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Silver James

I’m still breathing. Promise. And I AM being somewhat productive. Revisions. New words. I’m pretty much back in the swing of things. Except for social media. I don’t know why I have such a hang up about social media at … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Through A Glass Darkly

Posted on April 27, 2022 by Silver James

Some weeks, it seems like the only new words I get are due to #1lineWed or #ThursdayThreads prompts. This week, it’s “Though a” and “What do you think?” This scene is pretty much a continuation from last week’s snippet, in … Continue reading →

Tuesday Titles: Watcha Readin’?
