Not Short, Just Otherwise Engaged



From "Christian's Bangin' Blog"

      This week's entry is going to be fairly concise as I will be focusing on other projects and commenting on other blogs (...maybe even promoting the "p1c3" idea!)  I STILL need to complete the next article for Doin' Sh*t With Pat and write the inaugural entry for the writing prompt at Monthly Writing Prompt.  I also have a half written companion for a movie review of "Midnight in Paris".

     Also... I went to a rock show last week that brought back several fond memories of concerts, late night hangouts and record stores (ah... record stores).  It was the first time I had a chance to see "The Darkness" in Portland, and they did NOT disappoint!

Shucking Responsibility

     I posted a piece on the Writer’s Digest website for the writing prompt “A Cold Where You (Fill in the Blank) Instead of Sneeze".

I Made the Mistake of Reading

      I checked out the Writer’s Digest website for some writing resources and found a section for daily writing prompts.  After looking at some of my previous writing, I felt that it would be a good idea to get in to the habit of writing for a situation or genre that I am not passionate about (basically anything besides the swords and sorcery fantasy genre).  After deciding to take up the challenge to create a brief story per the website’s parameters, I followed the link and found some members’ submissions.  I made the mistake of reading some of them included under the following prompt:
