Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge and Sunday’s prompt word reveal for Six Sentence Stories!
So what was I saying in last Sunday’s post, lol? Kinda blew the s!*t out of it today. The routine. Not necessarily by choice. Or was it? Hm… where was I? Where we are, writers of the Six Sentence Story Blog Hop, is at the beginning of another week breaking out the white boards, preparing for the opening on Wednesday for this next edition of Six Sentence Stories. Doors open early as courtesy to those writers living in the future. You may know some of these writers – Chris, Sadje, Misky, Tom, Reena and Sunra Rainz. All of us invite you to join in the community that is Six Sentence Stories. Brought together by a love of writing, it is an experience you will not soon forget. Who has ever challenged you to write an entire story, a complete piece of poetry, a concise snippet of memoir-ette in precisely 6 sentences? Bottom line: Six Sentence Stories is writing challenge, social event, brainstorming opportunity and all around enjoyable get together. No RSVP required. Simply show up with exactly 6 sentences. We’ll bring our own refreshments.
Rules of the hop:
Write 6 Sentences. No more. No less.
Use the current week’s prompt word.
Link up at Wednesday’s post. Link goes live at 6:00 pm through Saturday late…
Spread the word and put in a good one to your fellow writers.
PROMPT WORD: PRESENT
“I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don’t remember what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose.” – P. G. Wodehouse
Wodehouse! ❤ Simultaneously ridiculous and sublime!

Love “writers living in the future.” A very thoughtful consideration.

Thank you, Misky. Fun factoid (perhaps for me only)?
In the early days of my Curatorship of the Six,
the hop traditionally opened Thursday, US EST. As deduced,
there are some of us already living Thursday and so came the
Aha! moment… Let’s open doors early for those who’ve “gone before”.

It’s appreciated, I’m sure, by those of us one hop ahead.
There are tweaks to time everywhere. I discovered a few days ago that there’s no official time on the moon, so when astronauts go to the moon, they use the location of the mission’s headquarters - Houston or Moscow.
