Friday Sinema: Go West!

Posted on July 28, 2023 by Silver James

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Can Do

Posted on July 27, 2023 by Silver James

Wednesday Words: I’ll Drink to That

Posted on July 19, 2023 by Silver James

Another Wednesday. More new words. S’all good, right? Sadly, no “love” on last week’s Thursday Threads flash fiction challenge but that’s okay. I’m happy with the scene (expanded from 250 words to 396) that evolved from the exercise. The prompt–taken … Continue reading →
