The Writerly Valentine Tag~ In Which We Pretend It’s Still Somewhat Close To February…

G’day to you all!

I am here today for The Writerly Valentine Tag. I was tagged by the esteemed Sarah Seele for this one. I’m fairly certain it was meant to be a Valentine’s Day thing? *squints at the calendar* ..Hm. Well, yes. Here we are.

The Smashing And Dashing Character Awards 2022~ In Which I Resonate With A Deranged Lizard For No Apparent Reason And I Actually Like Some Romance

Greetings, folks!

Welcome, one and all, to 2023. We made it, somehow, to another year.

And as a new year dawns, before we put the old year on the shelf to gather dust and nostalgia, we come here to remember the absolutely smashing and dashing characters we met in 2022. Because we must take every opportunity to babble about fictional characters, yes?

One Quirk Later #17~ In Which We Are Thankful Not To Be This Narrator (Because, If We Are Being Honest Here, Who Would Ever Want To Be A Character Of Mine?)

Hello, hello, hello!

Jem Jones (the magnificent, the wizard, the grandma) has graced us with another Quirk prompt, as is her custom. And as is my custom, I have written a Quirk in response to it.

One Quirk Later #16~ In Which I Ignore The Fact That I’m Taking A Break…Because I Can’t Just Skip A Quirk, Guys

Um…hello.

I’m not here. I’m definitely not here. I’m in 18th century Paris. But I’m just popping by for a moment because I just can’t skip a Quirk. I tried. I promise. But I couldn’t do it.

The “I Should Have Read That Book” Tag~ In Which We Examine The Good Ol’ TBR And I Announce My Intentions To Vanish For The Time Being

Happy first day of Autumn, folks!!

Is this going to be an Autumn related blog post? No. No it is not. (I don’t plan like that, as it turns out. I’m just excited that it’s Autumn now. So. Yes. That’s all I have to say about that.)

One Quirk Later #15~ In Which Diana Decides To Keep A Diary And I Conveniently Blame All Awkward Prose On Her

Hullo, friends!

I have not the intro powers today. Just know that it is Quirk time, and you should all go to Jem’s lovely blog and join in because it’s great fun (even though more often than not the Quirks themselves end up a tad on the depressing side with much angst and possibly murder?? Eh, well).

One Quirk Later #14~ In Which Enigma Just Wants To Play And Kids Make Sketchy Decisions

Yo, friends!

I’m here for one reason today. The estimable and grandmotherly Jem Jones has given us yet another prompt in her wonderful flash fiction prompt series, and I have written a Thing in response to it.

One Quirk Later #13~ In Which The Angst Returns With A Vengeance

Good morrow, my bloggerly chums!

It is that time again: the time to take the scrumptious prompt that Jem Jones has provided and go crazy with it.

And when I say crazy, I might mean that literally.

The Bookworm Tag~ In Which I Try To Figure Out What A Solid Book Is, And My Sense Of Humor Includes Squash

Hullo, everyone!

I have been tagged by the illustrious Elizabeth Hyde @Trivialities for the Bookworm Tag! I am very grateful for this, because tags are generally faster to execute than regular posts, and the time is just NOT HERE this week, so… yup.Hopefully I can come up with some marginally entertaining responses to her lovely questions, but we shall have to see.

One Quirk Later #12~ In Which There Is A Difference Between A Cobbler And A Shoemaker

Hello, hello, hello, my good folk!

It’s time for another Quirk! The illustrious wizard (and grandma) Jem Jones is the creator of this lovely flash fiction series, and we all appreciate her for that (among other things, because Jem is just the best and if you haven’t popped over to her blog yet you simply MUST).
