Do I hear crickets? Why yes, I think I do...
Its so quiet around here, and I'm sure it is because everyone is stalking the promptfest page and claiming their prompts (right?right?). Seriously, I wasn't going to do it this time around, but some gentle prompting by teddyradiator and jenidralph convinced me to give it another shot.
I offered my prompts, then considered myself done. There was only one prompt out of 200+ that appealed to me, and after convincing myself not to do it, I finally decided to mull it over, and do it... only if that one prompt was still available. It must be fate, because it was there... and now its mine. The prompt reminded me of some of my earlier writing... some of my own favorite stories that I had written. And it called to me.
And next topic...
A little brag about myself and my kids.
Several months ago, I happened to find some brown pinstriped fabric on clearance at Walmart for $1 a yard. And there was exactly 2 1/2 yards, so she charged me $2 since there wasn't a whole yard. I knew instantly that I could make my son a Tenth Doctor costume for Halloween with the awesome fabric. One small problem, though.
I don't sew.
Or I guess I should say, I didn't sew. In a matter of a few days, I taught myself to sew and basically made my own patterns (after finding out that a suit pattern would cost almost $20.) After two weeks of non-stop work, cursing and crying... here is the finished result (along with a recycled HP outfit for the princess.)
I will never take on a project that difficult ever again. (I say that now...)
Anyway, enough bragging, I guess. I have a prompt I need to start writing...
