Pulled up the “Tube. Reliable go-to for inspiration. Sure ’nuff, as I kept scrolling, pointer partway past midpage, my mouse came to rest on the destined selection. The music? Etta James & B. B. King performing “There’s Something on Your Mind.” Title, if nothing else, is most fitting. Within these virtual walls, inside this café littéraire, there is much on our minds. We gather each week to share these “somethings” in the form of flash fiction, poetry (or combination thereof), scenes from an our latest serial or a simple stream of consciousness (“soc”). Our challenge? To tell a story in exactly 6 sentences. Simple enough, sure. Easy? At times. Consider: the coolest aspect of writing a Six is mining for the proper combination of words, arranging them amongst appropriate punctuation so as to elicit a smile, straight out hard laughter, quiet amusement, a moment of awe… Whatsay? You in?

March. Where I live, it came in like a lion. I fully expect, as the saying goes, for it to go out like a lamb. But it’s still early, so time will tell.  Speaking of early – tonight, if you have your Six Sentence Story written, you can link it up via that blue Inlinkz party box below and get the proverbial word ball going. Requirements? Simple! Write a story, poem, soc or the latest scene from your next novel, play, short story or ongoing serial and as long as it’s exactly 6 sentences, you’re golden! Please join us this week, Wednesday evening through late Saturday night, for an escapade through the ever changing landscape that is Six Sentence Stories. We’ll leave the light on.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge and Sunday’s prompt word reveal for Six Sentence Stories! While the world walks the edge of panic and fear, insecurity and uncertainty, how about we take a deep breath; a step back. I have to ask myself this morning “why do I feel a little odd posting like business as usual? Have I allowed creeping tendrils of fear to reach out from my subconscious to put a wrench in an otherwise normal day? Well, you know what? Business as usual, folks. I’ve got the word. You’ve got the stories! Prince may be famous for “let’s go crazy” but here? We’re famous for let’s go writing! Have a most excellent week everyone. I’ll meet you at the usual place a little later in the week 🙂

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening? Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge and the
Six Sentence Story word prompt release party reveal 😀 It is November 3, 2019. Unfortunately, for all of us in the United States (and approximately 70 other countries around the world), today is going to be a rough one. Darkness arrives an hour earlier this evening as we sadly say farewell to daylight savings time. With the advent of this unfortunate time change comes the challenge of resisting our bodies’ reflex to retire way earlier than we should. At least that’s my challenge, lol. Positive spin? If outdoor time becomes less perhaps that means more time spent in front of our way back machines to write! So what say? Join us this Thursday for the latest edition of Six Sentence Stories?
